Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the impact on medical students' comprehensive quality with early exposure to clinical auxiliary department, thus prove suggestions to support social practice of students.
MethodsTotally 82 students joined social practice in the third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University as the research object from 2015 to 2017, including 38 who exposed to clinical assistant department as experimental group, another 50 who just function as medical volunteer as the control group, and then compare the score of Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale and Comprehensive examination chievement of basic medicine in two groups.
ResultsThe cross major learning scale scores and the based comprehensive medical exam scores in the experimental group (76.05±5.28, 91.08±9.20)were higher than those of control group (72.57±4.48, 86.34±7.11), the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Before and after the clinical practice in the experimental group of RIPLS (71.71±5.50, 76.05±5.28), teamwork factor score (34.08±3.32, 38.08±2.99) and total score based comprehensive medical examination results (83.33±8.34, 91.08±9.19), which were statistically significant (all P<0.05) . However, professional identity(28.29±3.31, 28.29±2.73)and role identity(9.34±1.68, 9.68±1.51) failed to show significant difference between two factors (all P>0.05). The control group before and after the social practice showed teamwork factor score (34.84±2.81, 36.07±2.67), professional identity (27.89±2.03, 26.50±2.22) and role identity (9.09±1.34, 10.00±1.74), the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05), but the difference in RIPLS (71.82±4.69, 72.57±4.48)and total score based comprehensive medical examination results (84.20±7.69, 86.34±7.11)had no statistical significance (all P>0.05).
ConclusionsEarly exposure to clinical assistant departments as social practice helps students to improve the enthusiasm in cross-specialty learning and the results of comprehensive examination of basic medicine, to cultivate the team cooperation spirit of medical students, and to enhance their professional identity.
