Objective To explore a new teaching mode relying on the new media platform, aiming to stimulate residency standardized trainees’ interest in learning theories related to gynecology outpatient surgery, improve practical operation skills, and achieve better teaching effects. Methods The residency standardized trainees who rotate in the gynecology outpatient of West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University between July 2021 and June 2022 were selected. According to the random number table method, the trainees were divided into the control group (using the traditional teaching mode) and the intervention group (using the teaching mode of combining the flipped classroom and simulated teaching relying on the new media platform). The assessment results, teacher evaluation, trainees self-evaluation and teaching satisfaction of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results A total of 118 trainees were enrolled, 59 in each group. There was no significant difference in gender, age, years of training and education level between the two groups (P>0.05). The total scores of evaluation scores (87.59±4.54 vs. 85.17±3.70), teachers’ evaluation (87.05±3.79 vs. 85.14±3.75), and trainees’ self-evaluation (87.81±4.41 vs. 85.54±3.96) of trainees in the intervention group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The clinical thinking ability [teachers’ evaluation (24.49±1.62 vs. 23.22±2.05), trainees’ self-evaluation (25.25±1.99 vs. 23.97±2.27) and operation skills [teachers’ evaluation (37.05±1.58 vs. 36.10±1.99), trainees’ self-evaluation (36.75±2.73 vs. 35.66±2.56)] of trainees in the intervention group were better than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The satisfaction rate of the trainees in the intervention group was 98.3%, and that of the trainees in the control group was 93.2%. The teaching satisfaction of the intervention group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The teaching mode of combining flipped classroom and simulated teaching relying on the new media platform has effectively stimulated residency standardized trainees’ learning interest in gynecological outpatient surgery, improved trainees’ clinical practice ability, improved teaching satisfaction, achieved good teaching results, and can be promoted as a new teaching mode.
Objective To explore the mental health status and influencing factors of clinical medical students pursuing a professional master’s degree under the “dual-track integration” training systems. Methods Clinical medical students pursuing a professional master’s degree who underwent residency standardized training in 123 hospitals from different areas of China were selected as the research objects from May 28th to June 4th, 2024, and the mental health and stress were investigated by questionnaire. Results A total of 1195 clinical medical students pursuing a professional master’s degree were included. Symptom Checklist-90 analysis showed that 582 (48.7%) master students had mental health problems. The two-group students (with and without psychological problems) had statistical differences in exercise frequency, sleep quality, extent of staying up late, interpersonal communication, and average number of night shifts per month (P<0.001). The subjective scores of interpersonal pressure, economic pressure, love and marriage pressure, schoolwork pressure, scientific research pressure, clinical work pressure, entering higher education pressure and employment pressure, and the proportion of graduating from 985/211 university of the master students with psychological problems were significantly higher than those of the master students without psychological problems (P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that poor sleep quality [odds ratio (OR)=1.626, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.085, 2.438), P=0.019], 985/211 university degree [OR=1.448, 95%CI (1.097, 1.910), P=0.009], interpersonal pressure [OR=1.194, 95%CI (1.121, 1.272), P<0.001], love and marriage pressure [OR=1.067, 95%CI (1.014, 1.122), P=0.012] and entering higher education pressure [OR=1.110, 95%CI (1.055, 1.167), P<0.001] were independent risk factors, while the male sex [OR=0.621, 95%CI (0.472, 0.817), P=0.001] were protective factor for psychological problems of these medical students. Conclusions Under the “dual-track integration” training systems, the clinical medical students pursuing a professional master’s degree have a higher prevalence of psychological problems, especially the females and the 985/211 bachelor’s degree scholars. It is important to improve sleep quality, strengthen interpersonal interaction and reduce pressure load to improve the mental health level of these clinical medical students.
