Abstract: Objective To explore the application effect of standardized patients in clinical probation teaching of acute abdomen in general surgery.Methods From June to July 2019, 133 clinical medicine students enrolled in 2015 from Xiamen University Medical College were selected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group (68) adopted standardized patient teaching method, while the control group (65) adopted traditional teaching method.The teaching effectiveness of the two groups of students was evaluated by clinical skills assessment,humanistic care assessment and the two groups of students to do a questionnaire survey of the effect of teaching evaluation.Results The students in the experimental group and the control group scored [(85.43 ± 4.72) vs (80.93 ± 3.16)], physical examination scores [(83.75 ± 3.81) vs (75.49 ± 6.38)], first disease course writing scores [(87.10 ± 4.92) vs (83.91 ± 6.26)], humanistic care scores [(88.62±5.13) vs (70.29±3.69)],The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.01). The results of questionnaire survey showed that there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in the improvement of autonomous learning interest[95.6%(65/68),81.5% (53/65)], the cultivation of communication skills [97.1%(66/68),47.7% (31/65)], the improvement of clinical reasoning [92.7%(63/68),72.3% (47/65)], and the improvement of clinical skills[94.1%(64/68),75.4% (49/65)] (all P<0.05).Conclusions The introduction of standardized patients into clinical probation training of acute abdomen illness management in general surgery is helpful to improve the clinical skills and humanistic care of students, and improve the effect of clinical probation.
