Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with case three-dimensional training method (CTTM) for students majoring in rehabilitation therapy. Methods Experimental control method was used in this project. From June to December 2020, 60 undergraduates majoring in rehabilitation therapy were enrolled in Kangda College of Nanjing Medical University. The students were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 30 in each. At the end of the class, the two groups were evaluated for theoretical and practical results and questionnaire survey. χ2 test was used for comparison between counting data groups, and independent sample T test was used for comparison between measurement data groups. Results The theoretical test scores and skill test scores of the experimental group were significantly higher than those from the control group [(82.10±5.33) vs. (73.67±7.41), (84.07±3.91) vs. (73.50±7.20)](all P<0.05). The results of the questionnaire showed that the score of improving learning interest, clinical reasoning, discussion participation and practical operation of experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group [(13.97±4.47) vs. (10.60±4.06), (14.03±4.81) vs. (10.47±4.61), (13.93±4.39) vs. (10.10±4.99), (13.13±5.21) vs. (9.20±3.72)] (all P<0.05). Conclusions PBL combined with CTTM improves the training outcomes of professional competence of undergraduates majoring in rehabilitation therapy, capacity building of clinical practice, clinical reasoning, and thus overcomes the barriers in traditional teaching method.
