Application of Standardized Patients in Clinical Practice Teaching of Thyroid and Breast Surgery

Objective: To study and analyze the application effect and practical value of the standardized patient teaching method in clinical practice teaching of thyroid and breast surgery. Methods: According to the exclusion and inclusion requirements, 30 students from Xi’an Medical College and Medical School of Yan’an University who practiced in the Department of Thyroid and Breast Surgery during January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects, together with 100 standardized patients. Two groups were formed according to the blind method, with 15 and 50 objects in the control group who were taught by traditional practice teaching methods, while 15 and 50 objects in the experiment group and taught by the standardized scenario simulation teaching method. After standardized teaching, the clinical thinking ability, mastery of treatment knowledge and teaching satisfaction of the two groups of students were compared, and the treatment efficiency of patients was compared. Results: After the implementation of different teaching methods, the clinical thinking ability, theoretical and practical knowledge of the experimental group were significantly improved, with higher teaching satisfaction and higher effective rate of treatment. The difference of relevant indicators was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In the practice teaching of therapeutic skills, adopting the standardized scenario simulation teaching method is effective and valuable in practical application.
