The use of the bedside to teach the art of clinical medicine is controversial. Rising student numbers can limit patient availability. Studies examining inpatient attitudes to bedside teaching are few.
We examined inpatients' attitudes to bedside teaching of undergraduate medical students.
The study was carried out in a 439-bed teaching hospital. A questionnaire, numerically scored (0-10), was prospectively administered to 102 consecutive patients involved in bedside teaching of undergraduate medical students.
The results were available from 92 patients. Patients enjoyed the teaching process (mean score 9.13 +/- 1.16) and benefited from a better understanding of their illness (7.11 +/- 2.57). Patients appreciated their role in educating future doctors (mean score 9.52 +/- 1.11) but demonstrated less confidence in their personal contribution to the teaching process (7.81 +/- 1.89).
Inpatients are very willing participants in bedside teaching of undergraduate medical students.
在床边教授临床医学艺术存在争议。学生人数的增加可能会限制患者的可用性。很少有研究检查住院患者对床边教学的态度。
我们调查了住院患者对本科医学生床边教学的态度。
该研究在一家拥有 439 张床位的教学医院进行。前瞻性地向 102 名参与本科医学生床边教学的连续患者发放了一份数字评分(0-10)的问卷。
从 92 名患者处获得了结果。患者喜欢教学过程(平均得分为 9.13 +/- 1.16),并从更好地了解自己的病情中受益(7.11 +/- 2.57)。患者赞赏自己在教育未来医生方面的作用(平均得分为 9.52 +/- 1.11),但对自己对教学过程的个人贡献表现出较少的信心(7.81 +/- 1.89)。
住院患者非常愿意参与本科医学生的床边教学。
