Abstract

Abstract: To improve the teaching effectiveness of the public health emergency response course and strengthen the training of public health personnel in handling such emergencies, a comprehensive virtual simulation teaching system for public health emergency response was designed, developed, and implemented at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. A total of 56 undergraduate students from the five-year preventive medicine and public utilities management, grade 2021, enrolled in this study. The teaching effectiveness was evaluated through practical training scores and questionnaire surveys. The results showed that all 56 students achieved a practical training score of good or above. Among the 55 students who participated in the questionnaire survey, 52(94.5%) believed that the system's instructional design highlighted professional characteristics, stimulated learning motivation and exploratory desire, and enhanced their comprehensive public health response capability. Furthermore, 49(89.1%) students considered the system scenarios to be realistic, and 51(92.7%) expressed overall satisfaction with the system. The virtual simulation teaching system for public health emergency response can help students master the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required in handling public health emergencies, thus contributing to the overall improvement of course effectiveness.
