Abstract: Objective To investigate and analyze the children's parents' opinions on pediatric medical teaching ward round, and put forward the improvement measures.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 107 parents of children(group A) in a top-three hospital who received resident physician standardized teaching ward round and 121 parents of other children(group B) in the same ward from January 2019 to December 2020. Chi-square test and Fisher exact probability test were used to compare the differences of the children's parents' cognition of the teaching ward round between the two groups.Results The proportion of children <3 years old in group A was significantly lower than that in group B [28.1% (30/107) vs. 70.2%(85/121)](P<0.01) , and 73.8% (79/107) of the children in group A failed to fully cooperate with the performance of teaching ward round. There were 46.7% (50/107) of the parents not willing to accept the teaching ward round again. The percentage of parents who thought that the physical examination caused fear, pain, cold and other discomfort to the children in group A who did not want to go to teaching round again was higher than that of parents who wanted to go to teaching round again [82.0%(41/50)vs. 5.3%(3/57)], there was statistically significant(P<0.01).The percentage of the parents in group B thought that teaching ward round was more helpful to the cognition of children's diseases than that in group A [76.0% (92/121) vs. 36.5% (39/107)], the percentage of children's parents in group B who wanted to go to teaching rounds was higher than that in group A [90.1% (109 / 121) vs. 53.3% (57 / 107)] , there were statistically significant(all P<0.01).Conclusions Most of the parents who didn't accept the teaching ward round just because they didn't see the performance as what they expected. The acceptance of parents of children undergoing teaching rounds needs to be improved. Few children could fully cooperate with the ward round performance, and the majority of cases selected for teaching ward round is elderly children. It is necessary to strengthen the cultivation of medical humanistic quality and clinical skills training in pediatric education. We are trying to explore a personalized mode of pediatric teaching ward round to meet the needs of parents and improve the quality of pediatric resident standardized training.
