Construction and application of cyclic clinical skill training system in clinical practice in department of obstetrics and gynecology

Objective To construct cyclic clinical skill training system and to evaluate its application effect in clinical practice in department obstetrics and gynecology.Methods Cyclic clinical skill training system was established in department obstetrics and gynecology.Totally 104 eight-year program clinical medicine students of grade 2005 and 2006 in people's hospital of Peking university were enrolled as the research object and were divided into control group ( n =54,grade 2005) and experimental group (n =50,grade 2006 ).Students of control group were taught by normal teaching method and contacted with patients in clinical practice while those in experimental group were taught by cyclic clinical skill training system. (theoretical test before practice-simulated training-real practicetheoretical test after practice).Results of theoretical test after practice were compared between the two groups,using statistical t test.Results At the end of internship,students in experimental had higher scores in theoretical test than those in control group,with statistical differences (88.70 vs.85.02,P ＜0.05).Students' skill test scores were (77.04 ± 10.35 ) and (45.61 ± 14.42) before practice while (84.59 ± 10.10) and (68.78 ± 10.83) after practice,with statistical differences ( P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Cyclic clinical skills training system can promote students' skills of obstetrics and gynecology,therefore worth promoting.
