Abstract
BackgroundThe spread of COVID-19 poses a challenge for obstetrics and gynecology (O&G) residents. In order to improve the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of residents in epidemic prevention and control, reduce work pressure and improve professional skills, effective and sound training models are required to improve the protection of O&G residents from COVID-19.MethodA total of 38 standardized training O&G residents working in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University in March 2020 was selected. They were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The control group underwent a protection theory exposition according to the traditional training method, while the intervention group adopted a conceive–design–implement–operate (CDIO) mode, arranged training courses in combination with the O&G specialty, and completed four modules of CDIO. After the training, the theoretical knowledge and practical operation were assessed, and the work stress and occupational identity scales were assessed. The assessment results and scores of the two groups of residents were analyzed.ResultsCompared with the scores of the residents in the control group, the theoretical and technical scores of the residents in the intervention group significantly improved (P < 0.05). In the evaluation of organizational management, workload, interpersonal relationship, and doctor–patient relationship pressure, the scores of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group, with a statistical difference (P < 0.05). For the intervention group, the job stress and professional identity evaluation scores were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05).ConclusionThe CDIO model can effectively enhance the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of O&G residents in COVID-19 epidemic prevention protocols to reduce work pressure and improve professional identity. In addition, it provides new ideas, methods, and approaches for future clinical practice training.
Highlights
COVID-19 has been declared an “International Public Health Emergency” by the World Health Organization (WHO) because the virus is extremely contagious and has spread globally
Traditional teaching methods were adopted in early COVID-19 obstetric training sessions
This study explored the application effect of the CDIO model in the practical training of obstetrics and gynecology (O&G) residents during the COVID-19 pandemic, and evaluates the psychological status of O&G residents using the Job Stressor Scale and Professional Identity
Summary
COVID-19 has been declared an “International Public Health Emergency” by the World Health Organization (WHO) because the virus is extremely contagious and has spread globally. The rapid development of virus variants affects patients, doctors, and medical students (learners) This calls for unprecedented collaboration and rapid and profound readjustment, practically every day. Medical institutions have conducted regular training on infection management and COVID-19 protocols for residents in the initial stage of the epidemic [1]. The prevention and control of the epidemic in the outpatient clinic and ward of O&G residents are extremely important. Effective and sound training models are required to improve professional practical skills and epidemic response ability. In order to improve the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of residents in epidemic prevention and control, reduce work pressure and improve professional skills,effective and sound training models are required to improve the protection of O&G residents from COVID-19
