Methods The multistage and stratified random sampling method was used to select the basic medical teachers and clinical teachers at a local medical university as the survey objects in January 2022. Principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimensions for the evaluation results of teaching ability of medical college teachers. SPSS 25.0 software was used to conduct the questionnaire reliability and validity analysis, descriptive analysis and logistic regression. Results The teaching ability of basic medical teachers was significantly higher than that of clinical teachers (β=-0.338, OR=0.713), and the development of teaching ability of teachers was insufficient (2.91±0.732). Using logistic regression, we found that variables such as teachers′ age, years involved in teaching, professional development orientation, policies and measures of university and clinical teaching bases were significantly positively correlated with their teaching ability (all OR>1, P<0.05). The teaching ability of teachers with master′s degree is higher than that of teachers with bachelor′s degree and doctor′s degree (β=0.536, OR=1.710, all P<0.05). Conclusions The teaching ability of teachers in local medical university is affected by age, educational background, years involved in teaching, subjective factors of teachers, policies and measures of university and clinical teaching bases. It is suggested that university and clinical teaching bases should create, in coordinated efforts, high-level teaching faculty integrating basic and clinical teachers.

Methods From October to November 2021, a questionnaire was designed by reviewing the literature and consulting relevant experts. After that, 830 clinical teachers in Qingdao University were investigated on the teaching intention and their expected teaching support, for which chi square test was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 75.1% (623/830) and 24.9% (207/830) of clinical teachers expressed willingness and lack thereof to engage in teaching, respectively. Among those willing to engage in teaching, the proportion of clinical teachers with senior professional and technical titles, aged 31 to 50, and teaching experience ≥11 years was higher than that of teachers with intermediate professional titles and below, ages≤30 and ≥51, and teaching experience ≤10 years [91.8% (413/450) vs. 55.3% (210/380), 79.4% (547/689) vs. 50.0% (10/20) vs. 54.5% (66/121), 84.5% (290/343) vs. 68.4% (333/487), all P<0.001]. The proportion of clinical teachers willing to engage in teaching who expected to receive teaching support was higher than that of clinical teachers unwilling to engage in teaching work [such as regular teaching and training activities: 81.5% (508/623) vs. 21.7%(45/207) ](all P＜0.001), and the top three expected teaching support were ″regular teaching training activities″ [81.5% (508/623)], ″teaching management departments attach importance to teachers′ feedback on students′ learning discipline″ [76.7% (478/623)], and improve teaching performance [68.9% (429/623)]. The top three expected teaching support who were unwilling to engage in teaching expect teaching support were ″appropriately reducing teachers′ scientific research tasks″ [32.9% (68/207)], ″improving the impact of teaching on promotion″ [27.1% (56/207)], and ″being able to teach on devoted time″ [25.1% (52/207)]. Whether willing to engage in teaching or not, the most expected teaching support for clinical teachers with senior professional and technical titles [88.7% (399/450)], age ≥51 years [87.0% (140/161)], and teaching experience ≥11 years [83.4% (286/343)] was ″the management department pays attention to the feedback of teachers on students′ learning discipline″, while the most expected teaching support for clinical teachers of internal medicine [90.9% (219/241)] and pediatrics [82.5% (52/63)] was ″regular teaching and training activities″, The most expected teaching support for clinical teachers in surgery [80.4% (131/163)] and obstetrics and gynecology [83.3% (105/126)] was ″appropriately reducing teachers′ scientific research tasks″. Conclusions Clinical teachers with senior professional and technical titles, who are in their prime of life and have long teaching experience are more willing to engage in teaching work. Clinical teachers with different teaching intentions expected different teaching support, but they all expected to strengthen students′ learning management, improve teaching ability and reduce the weight of scientific research over teaching. It is suggested that the corresponding teaching support system should be established through professional title appointment, teaching performance reform, improving teaching ability, strengthening student management and other measures, so as to guide and encourage clinical teachers, especially those who are not willing to engage in teaching, to actively participate in teaching.

Methods A questionnaire survey was used. A convenient sample was recruited from March to April 2020. We conducted an survey among 1 580 college students from 4 colleges and universities in Hebei Province using psychological questionnaires for emergent events of public health and simplified coping style questionnaire. Nonparametric test, binary logistic, multiple linear regression analyses were performed. Results Among depression, neurasthenia, fear, obsessive-anxiety and hypochondria, students′ fear scores are the highest [0.5 (0.5)]. College students with worse internet service(OR=2.23,2.39,4.11,95%CI:1.12-4.42,1.21-4.71,1.12-4.42)and cannot take online classes at scheduled times(OR=4.27,11.08,6.92, 95%CI:1.48-12.33, 1.45-11.65, 1.91-24.99) were susceptible to depression, neurasthenia and obsessive-anxiety separately. An irregular lifestyle was susceptible to depression [OR (95% CI)=2.75 (2.00-3.77)], neurasthenia[OR (95% CI)=2.75 (1.99-3.79)] and fear [OR (95% CI)=1.61 (1.25-2.07)]. Being bored while staying at home was susceptible to depression [OR (95% CI)=2.84 (2.05-3.93)], neurasthenia [OR (95% CI)=2.25 (1.63-3.11)], depression [OR (95% CI)=1.72 (1.36-2.18)], obsessive-anxiety[OR (95% CI)=4.64 (2.17-9.91)], hypochondria[OR (95% CI)=2.13 (1.29-3.53)]. Paying attention to the epidemic for more than 1 hour per day including all day and 1-3 hours was susceptible to fear [whole day: OR (95% CI)=5.15 (1.74-9.92), 1-3 hours: OR (95% CI)=3.67 (1.55-8.69)]. Health volunteers were susceptible to obsessive-anxiety [OR (95% CI)=4.31 (1.54-12.10)] and hypochondria [OR (95% CI)=3.66 (1.48-9.06)] (all P<0.05). Those who live in the city (b=0.063, P=0.018), being bored while staying at home (b=0.098, P＜0.001), an irregular lifestyle (b=0.060, P=0.019), medical students (b=0.083, P=0.003), liberal arts students (b=0.091, P=0.003) were tend to negative coping styles compared to living in the country, not being bored while staying at home, regular lifestyle, and science student. Conclusions During the early phase of the COVID-19 epidemic, college students were mainly fearful. Colleges and universities should focus on the mental health of those who can′t take online classes on time, maintain irregular lifestyle, feel bored while staying at home, pay attention to the epidemic situation for more than one hour a day, and are volunteers for epidemic prevention, as well as pay attention to the coping styles of college students who live in cities, feel bored while staying at home, and have irregular lifestyle, medical students, and liberal arts students, in order to carry out targeted psychological intervention, and cultivate positive coping styles of college students and improve their ability to solve problems.

Methods A total of 169 interns from rehabilitation therapeutics major who practiced in the department of neurorehabilitation, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from 2020 to 2022 were selected as study subjects. A questionnaire was used to investigate their interest, cognitive status and influencing factors in cognitive rehabilitation. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 57.4% (97/169) of the interns were interested in cognitive impairment rehabilitation. The top three cognitive domains they were interested in were memory [65.0%(63/97)], attention [60.8%(59/97)] and executive dysfunction [48.5%(47/97)]. Compared with the dispensing student, the students who volunteered to fill in the rehabilitation major were more interested in cognitive rehabilitation (OR=3.41,95%CI:1.46~7.99); Students who rotated in the cognitive therapy room were also more interested in cognitive rehabilitation than students who did not rotate (OR=2.28, 95%CI:1.12~4.63), the differences were statistically significant (all P＜0.05). Conclusions Rehabilitation therapeutics interns are generally interested in cognitive rehabilitation. It is necessary to further strengthen faculty development of teachers in cognitive rehabilitation, improve their clinical professional ability and teaching level, expand students′ knowledge acquisition pathways and clinical practice opportunities and actively explore diversified teaching modes, so as to increase students′ interest and learning intentions in cognitive rehabilitation.

Their humanities training is directly related to the quality of clinical nursing service. However, at present, the curriculum of nursing postgraduates in many schools in China lacks a humanities/psychology curriculum module featuring clinical practice. This paper puts forward the curriculum framework of clinical practice of psychological nursing and makes practical exploration. Teaching objective of this course was to improve the postgraduate students′ abilities in the nurse-patient communication, humanistic care, narrative nursing, and system intervention. The course content integrated the theoretical and practical content of modules such as nurse-patient communication, Balint group, narrative nursing, palliative care, family intervention and group intervention. The teaching methods combined case teaching, experiential teaching, role-playing and other methods. Students reported that their clinical practice ability was improved. The course also provided a feasible model for the cultivation of clinical skills of psychological nursing. Therefore, it seems beneficial of integrating the training of clinical skills of psychological nursing into the standardized training curriculum system. References | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods In July 2021, a total of 1 344 residents from 52standardized training bases for residents in five provinces of Gansu, Hainan, Jiangsu, Shanxi and Zhejiang were investigated by using the basic information questionnaire, the UpToDate benefit rating questionnaire and the revised Jefferson scale of physician lifelong learning, and quantile regression analysis will be used to analyze the influencing factors of their benefit score using UpToDate. In this study, 9 deciles were selected to establish 9 quantile regression equations, among which 0.1-0.3 quantiles were classified as group of low quantiles score, 0.4-0.6 as group of middle quantiles score, and 0.7-0.9 as group of high quantiles score. Results The UpToDate benefit score of other degrees residents increased by more than 10 points compared with doctor degree in the group of low quantiles score, and in the groups of middle and high quantiles score, the UpToDate benefit score of other degrees residents changed all less than 0 compared with doctor degree. In the all groups, for each additional point of the residents′ ″learning beliefs and motivation″, the change of the UpToDate benefit score gradually increased from -0.33 to 1.33; in the group of low quantiles score, for each additional point of ″attention to learning opportunities″ the change of the UpToDate benefit score fluctuated at 1.00, while in the groups of middle and high quantiles score, the change of the UpToDate benefit score gradually decreased from 1.00 to 0.20; in the groups of low and middle quantiles score, for each additional point of ″technical skills in seeking information″, the change of the benefit score was around 1.00, while in the group of high quantiles score, the change of the UpToDate benefit score decreased from 0.70 to less than 0.01. Conclusions Residents′ degrees mainly affected the UpToDate benefit score in group of low quantiles score, ″learning beliefs and motivation″, ″attention to learning opportunities″ and ″technical skills in seeking information″ affected the UpToDate benefit score in all groups. Different training programs can be developed for residents with different educational background, and measures should be taken to increase residents′ learning beliefs and motivation, to provide residents learning opportunities and to improve technical skills in seeking information.

Methods A total of 91 residents who received standardized training in the general practice center of Shanghai East Hospital from August 2016 to April 2022 were enrolled. According to their years of training, 50 were assigned to the experimental group and 41 to the control group. The integrated teaching mode was used in the experimental group and whereas traditional teaching mode was used in the control group. We implemented process evaluation (reflective notes in five dimensions) and phased evaluation (multi station clinical skill assessment, annual theoretical assessment). The effects of the two groups were evaluated before and after this course. Results After training, the total score of experimental group was higher than that of the control group in five dimensions of reflective notes, with a statistically significant difference [(24.40±0.15) vs. (22.46±0.15), t=6.79, P<0.001]. The total score of experiment group was higher than that of the control group in the multi station clinical skill examination [(485.08±0.93) vs. (443.59±1.12)] and the annual theoretical examination [(82.18±3.33) vs. (71.24±10.59)],with a statistically significant difference (all P<0.001). Conclusions The ability to manage geriatric comorbidity was trained in the standardized training of general practitioners. The application of integrated teaching can promote students to form a systematic, holistic, and comprehensive clinical thinking, and improve the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment ability of geriatric comorbidity management and complex cases.
