Objective

2

To investigate the application of three-dimensional image reconstruction combined with problem-based learning (PBL) in the teaching of physicians receiving continuing education in thoracic surgery.

Methods

2

A total of 68 physicians who received continuing education in Department of Thoracic Surgery in our hospital were selected as research subjects

and they were divided into control group and observation group using a random number table

with 34 physicians in each group. The physicians in the control group received traditional teaching

while those in the observation group received three-dimensional image reconstruction combined with PBL teaching. A questionnaire survey

theoretical assessment

and assessment of practical skills were performed to evaluate the effect of teaching. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the

t

-test.

Results

2

Compared with the control group

the observation group had significantly higher degrees of satisfaction with each item of the questionnaire survey (

P

<

0.05). Compared with the control group

the observation group had significantly higher scores of theoretical assessment [(94.07±6.03) vs. (86.34±5.46)

P

<

0.001] and the assessment of practical skills [(95.20±5.48) vs. (84.71±6.14)

P

<

0.001].

Conclusion

2

The application of three-dimensional image reconstruction combined with PBL teaching can help to improve the comprehensive ability of physicians receiving continuing education.
