摘要

简介/背景：小组工作通过培养协作、沟通和团队合作技能，在医疗保健教育中起着至关重要的作用。然而，学生经常面临诸如工作量分配不均、冲突和焦虑等挑战。引入小组学习契约是为了通过设定明确的期望、加强问责制和促进有效的协作来改善小组动态。本研究旨在探讨团体学习契约对学生健康教育体验的影响。方法：对包括Medline、ProQuest和SCOPUS在内的6个数据库进行综合检索，确定了从成立到2023年发表的研究。关键词：小组工作、健康教育、学习合同。数据提取和质量评估遵循PRISMA指南，使用混合方法评估工具（MMAT）进行偏倚评估。结果：所有四项研究都证明了使用小组学习契约的积极结果。改进包括更好的工作量分配、增加的沟通、减少的焦虑和增强的协作。一项研究报告称，这些合同在在线学习环境中更有效。然而，一些学生发现额外的文书工作很麻烦。尽管总体偏倚风险较低，但也注意到方法的局限性，包括样本量小和缺乏对照组。讨论：研究结果强调了小组学习契约在减轻小组工作中的共同挑战和增强学生学习体验方面的潜力。与之前的研究一致，结构化协议促进了问责制并减少了与群体相关的压力。结论：团体学习契约是健康教育的重要工具，能促进积极的团体动态，提高学生的学习成绩。进一步的研究需要更大、更多样化的样本来证实这些发现，并优化在各种教育背景下的实施。

Group learning contracts in healthcare education: A systematic review

Introduction/Background

Group work plays a crucial role in healthcare education by fostering collaboration, communication, and teamwork skills. However, students often face challenges such as unequal workload distribution, conflict, and anxiety. Group learning contracts have been introduced to improve group dynamics by setting clear expectations, enhancing accountability, and promoting effective collaboration. This systematic review explores the impact of group learning contracts on students’ experiences in healthcare education.

Methods

A comprehensive search across six databases, including Medline, ProQuest, and SCOPUS, identified studies published from inception to 2023. Keywords related to group work, healthcare education, and learning contracts were used. Data extraction and quality appraisal followed the PRISMA guidelines, with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) used for bias assessment.

Results

All four studies demonstrated positive outcomes from using group learning contracts. Improvements included better workload distribution, increased communication, reduced anxiety, and enhanced collaboration. One study reported greater effectiveness of these contracts in online learning settings. Some students, however, found the additional paperwork burdensome. Despite overall low bias risk, methodological limitations, including small sample sizes and absence of control groups, were noted.

Discussion

The findings highlight the potential of group learning contracts to mitigate common challenges in group work and enhance students' learning experiences. Aligning with previous research, structured agreements foster accountability and reduce group-related stress.

Conclusion

Group learning contracts are valuable tools in healthcare education, promoting positive group dynamics and improving student outcomes. Further research with larger, more diverse samples is needed to confirm these findings and optimize implementation across various educational contexts.
