Abstract: Objective To investigate the applying effects of problem-based learning (PBL) in standardized training of residents of thoracic surgery.Methods A total of 92 students, who were trained by standardized training of residents of thoracic surgery in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, were selected as subjects. The students were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group was treated with PBL and the traditional teaching method was adopted in the control group. The results of the two groups were compared by the results of the examination and the questionnaire.Results The scores of the students in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). But in the single choice question examination and simple question examination, the differences in the two groups of student were not statistically significant(all P>0.05). In terms of stimulating interest in learning, improving clinical thinking ability and mastering of clinical skills, the evaluation of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, the differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05).But there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of improving learning efficiency and the satisfaction of the teaching method (all P>0.05).Conclusions PBL in the standardized training of residents of thoracic surgery has achieved good results, this method can promote teaching interaction, improve teaching quality.
