The purpose of this study was to use the body painting method to teach hand anatomy to a group of preclinical medical students.
Students reviewed hand anatomy using the traditional method and body painting exercise. Feedback and retention of the anatomy-related information were examined by a questionnaire and multiple-choice questions, respectively, immediately and 1 month after the painting exercise.
Students agreed that the exercise was advantageous and helped facilitate self-active learning after in-class anatomy lessons. While there was no significant difference in knowledge retention between the control and experimental groups, the students appreciated the exercise in which they applied body paint to the human body to learn anatomy.
The body painting was an efficient tool for aiding the interactive learning of medical students and increasing the understanding of gross anatomy.
本研究的目的是使用人体彩绘方法向一组临床前医学生教授手部解剖学。
学生通过传统方法和人体彩绘练习复习手部解剖学。分别在彩绘练习后立即和1个月后，通过问卷调查和多项选择题检查与解剖学相关信息的反馈和记忆情况。
学生们一致认为该练习具有优势，有助于在课堂解剖学课程后促进自主学习。虽然对照组和实验组在知识记忆方面没有显著差异，但学生们对在人体上涂抹人体彩绘来学习解剖学的练习很满意。
人体彩绘是辅助医学生互动学习和增强大体解剖学理解的有效工具。
