This study aims to investigate whether a systematic digital training system can improve the learning efficiency of residents in the first-year orthognathic surgery training course and evaluate its effectiveness in teaching orthognathic surgery.
A digital training system was applied, and a comparative research approach was adopted. 24 first-year orthognathic surgery residents participated in the experiment as part of their professional skill training. The Experimental group was required to use a digital training system, and the Control group was trained in lectures without digital technologies. Three indicators, including theoretical knowledge and clinical operation, were assessed in tests, and evaluations from instructors were analyzed to evaluate learning efficiency.
The results showed that the scores in theoretical tests, practical operations, and teacher evaluations, the Experimental groups were all higher than the Control group ( = 0.002 for anatomy, = 0.000 for operation theory) after using digital technology, except for the understanding of complications ( = 0.771). In addition, the questionnaire survey results showed that the study interest ( = 0.001), self-confidence ( = 0.001), satisfaction ( = 0.002), and academic performance ( = 0.001) of the residents of the Experimental group were higher than those of the Control group.
The outcomes indicated that the digital training system could benefit orthognathic residents' learning efficiency, and learning interest and teaching satisfaction will also improve.
本研究旨在探讨系统的数字化培训系统是否能提高正颌外科培训课程第一年住院医师的学习效率，并评估其在正颌外科教学中的效果。
采用数字化培训系统，采用对比研究方法。24 名第一年正颌外科住院医师参加了实验，作为其专业技能培训的一部分。实验组需要使用数字培训系统，对照组则在没有数字技术的讲座中接受培训。通过测试评估理论知识和临床操作等三个指标，并分析教师的评价来评估学习效率。
结果表明，实验组在理论测试、实际操作和教师评价中的分数均高于对照组（解剖学 = 0.002，手术理论 = 0.000），除了对并发症的理解（ = 0.771）。此外，问卷调查结果显示，实验组住院医师的学习兴趣（ = 0.001）、自信心（ = 0.001）、满意度（ = 0.002）和学业成绩（ = 0.001）均高于对照组。
结果表明，数字化培训系统可以提高正颌住院医师的学习效率，同时提高学习兴趣和教学满意度。
