Abstract: Objective To build a new teaching mode of health economics course based on situation creation and evaluate the application effects. Methods From September 2016 to December 2021,a total of 215 postgraduates from grade 2016 to 2021 who took Health Economics course in the School of Public Health of Zhengzhou University were selected as participants. Among them, 106 of the 215 postgraduates from grade 2019 to 2021 were designated as the study group, and the new teaching mode based on situational creation method was applied. The rest 109 postgraduates from grade 2016 to 2018 were designated as the control group, using the traditional teaching mode. By comparing the course assessment results of both groups and the respondents from 20 postgraduates interviewed, the effects of the new teaching mode were comprehensively evaluated. T-test were used for measurement data. Results The scores of class performance [(87.36±5.34) vs. (84.47±5.38)], homework scores [(88.82±5.62) vs. (85.95±6.76)], final examination results [(84.75±5.18) vs. (82.20±4.10)] and total scores[(86.48±4.11) vs. (84.97±4.52)] from study group were all significantly higher than those from the control group (all P<0.05). Meanwhile, the current study revealed that postgraduates interviewed from the study group showed higher praise and enthusiasm for this reform. Conclusions The teaching mode of situation creation for health economics course has achieved good results and can inform the reform of related courses.
