Abstract

Objective: To explore the teaching effect of Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) Course in the standardized training resident in obstetric.

Methods: 60 residents of obstetrics from January 2021 to December 2022 were randomly divided into two groups, observation group and control group. The experimental group used ALSO teaching method, and the control group used traditional teaching method. The teaching effect was evaluated by theoretical examination, direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) scale and mini clinical evaluation (Mini-CEX) scale.

Results: The theoretical achievements of the observation group were significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The pre-procedural preparation, safe analgesia, technique of procedure, aseptic technique, seeks help when necessary, post-procedural management, communication skills, humanistic care and overall performance score of the DOPS in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The organization efficiency, humanistic qualities, manipulative skills, clinical judgment, medical interviewing skills and overall clinical competence score of the Mini-CEX in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05).

Conclusions: ALSO teaching method has an ideal effect in the standardization training of residents of obstetrics, indicating the prospect of active in-depth research and expanded application.

Keywords: ALSO teaching method; Clinical skill and operation; Obstetrics; Standardization training of residents.
