Objective

2

To evaluate the application effect of the "group-based" teaching assistant (TA) guidance model in homogenized clinical skill training.

Methods

2

A pilot study was conducted on the cardiopulmonary resuscitation training course

and 32 students majoring in clinical integrative Chinese and Western medicine (five-year program) who were admitted to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2018 were randomly divided into control group (

n

= 16) and TA group (

n

= 16). The control group received traditional teaching methods

and the TA group was further divided into subgroups A

B

C

and D

with four graduate TAs providing group-based teaching. The groups were compared in terms of their satisfaction and test scores. SPSS 25.0 was used for

t

-test and analysis of variance.

Results

2

The satisfaction survey showed that compared with the control group

the TA group had significantly higher degree of satisfaction with the increased practical opportunities

clinical skill practical ability

learning effect

and overall satisfaction. The immediate test showed that there was no significant difference in test score between the TA group (85.19±2.93) points and the control group (82.75±4.52) points. The test 30 days later showed that the TA group (83.50±5.13) points had a significantly higher test score than the control group (74.68±3.87) points

and the control group had a significantly lower test score than that in the immediate test (

P

<

0.001); however

there was no significant difference in the TA group's score between the immediate test and the test 30 days later.

Conclusion

2

The "group-based" TA guidance model has a good effect in homogenized clinical skill training

and has a stable long-term effect

with high student satisfaction.
