Evidence-based medicine (EBM) teaching is most successful when integrated with patient care, but finding time for teaching on inpatient rotations is difficult. Obstetrics (OB)-Newborn TEACH (Teaching Evidence-based medicine And Clinical topics in the Hospital) Cards is a curricular tool for efficient teaching sessions on maternity care rotations. We evaluated the impact of OB-Newborn TEACH Cards on resident EBM attitudes and skills, exposure to clinical topics, and patient management.
OB-Newborn TEACH Cards includes 56 cards on obstetrics and newborn topics with background and foreground discussion questions. Residents on a family medicine maternal-child service completed pre- and postrotation surveys to assess the cards' impact on EBM attitudes and skills. Faculty and residents also completed point-of-care surveys to assess the self-reported influence on management decisions.
Of 24 potential resident participants, 58% completed pre- and postrotation surveys, which showed significant increase in perceived EBM skills like applying evidence to a clinical scenario (=.04), but a decrease in reported attitudes that EBM is realistic (=.028) and useful (=.025). Residents agreed the cards exposed them to a variety of topics. Point-of-care surveys (n=58) indicated that 57% of the time respondents used a card to learn about a topic not related to a specific patient. When used to learn about specific patients, the cards influenced self-reported patient care 44% of the time.
OB-Newborn TEACH Cards are a promising inpatient teaching tool for improving perceived EBM clinical application, exposing residents to maternal-child topics, and influencing patient care decisions.
循证医学(EBM)教学与患者护理相结合时最为成功,但在住院医师轮转期间安排教学时间很困难。妇产科-新生儿TEACH(医院循证医学与临床主题教学)卡片是一种用于妇产科轮转高效教学课程的工具。我们评估了妇产科-新生儿TEACH卡片对住院医师循证医学态度和技能、临床主题接触以及患者管理的影响。
妇产科-新生儿TEACH卡片包括56张关于妇产科和新生儿主题的卡片,并配有背景和前景讨论问题。在家庭医学母婴服务部门轮转的住院医师完成了轮转前后的调查,以评估卡片对循证医学态度和技能的影响。教员和住院医师还完成了即时护理调查,以评估自我报告的对管理决策的影响。
在24名潜在的住院医师参与者中,58%完成了轮转前后的调查,结果显示在将证据应用于临床场景等循证医学技能方面有显著提高(P =.04),但在循证医学是现实可行的(P =.028)和有用的(P =.025)报告态度方面有所下降。住院医师们一致认为这些卡片使他们接触到了各种主题。即时护理调查(n = 58)表明,57%的情况下,受访者使用卡片了解与特定患者无关的主题。当用于了解特定患者时,卡片在44%的时间里影响了自我报告的患者护理。
妇产科-新生儿TEACH卡片是一种有前景的住院教学工具,可提高循证医学临床应用的认知度,使住院医师接触母婴主题,并影响患者护理决策。
