Involving medical undergraduate students in patients' health education will not only help in improving students' learning as well as professional and communication skills but also plays an important role in achieving better health outcome of patients. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of students led educational intervention regarding tuberculosis (TB) on their learning and on the patients' knowledge and attitude towards the disease.
One hundred medical undergraduates were included in the study. An integrated lecture on TB was given to all participants followed by preintervention test on TB. One group was then subjected to interactive traditional lecture. Whereas the videos reflecting the experiences of TB patients were shown to the other group and was given an assignment to prepare educational leaflets for TB patients followed by postintervention test for both groups. The patients' satisfaction level with the information given via educational leaflet and the overall perceived benefits of this activity by the students were assessed. Data analysis done using SPSS version 23.0. Independent and paired -test were used to calculate difference of means for quantitative variables.
Two groups were comparable preintervention however postintervention there was significant improvement in knowledge in the study group (P0.000). Overall 74.2% of the patients were satisfied with the information provided through leaflets. Students' feedback highlighted that majority of the them felt benefitted from this activity.
It can be concluded that such type of educational interventions have dual benefits, i.e., learning for the students as well as providing health education to patients which in turn will improve their clinical outcome.
让医学本科生参与患者健康教育，不仅有助于提高学生的学习能力以及专业和沟通技巧，还对实现患者更好的健康结果起着重要作用。本研究的目的是评估学生主导的结核病（TB）教育干预对他们学习的影响以及对患者关于该疾病的知识和态度的影响。
100名医学本科生参与了本研究。对所有参与者进行了一次关于结核病的综合讲座，随后进行了结核病预干预测试。然后一组接受互动式传统讲座。而另一组观看了反映结核病患者经历的视频，并被要求为结核病患者准备教育传单，之后两组都进行了干预后测试。评估了患者对通过教育传单提供的信息的满意度以及学生对该活动总体感知的益处。使用SPSS 23.0版进行数据分析。独立样本t检验和配对t检验用于计算定量变量的均值差异。
两组在干预前具有可比性，然而干预后研究组的知识有显著改善（P<0.000）。总体而言，74.2%的患者对通过传单提供的信息感到满意。学生的反馈强调，他们中的大多数人认为从这项活动中受益。
可以得出结论，这种类型的教育干预有双重益处，即对学生来说是学习，同时为患者提供健康教育，这反过来将改善他们的临床结果。
