A review of the literature on the use of simulated patients is presented. While simulated patients have become established for the education of medical undergraduates, international work suggests that they may also be of value for studying the performance of established general practitioners. A preliminary study is described in which simulated patients were used at practices in Cardiff. Roles were developed which would stimulate a discussion focusing on health risks. No particular practical problems were encountered but concerns were expressed about the validity of the data. Suggestions are made for the further development of the use of simulated patients.
本文对模拟患者的使用相关文献进行了综述。虽然模拟患者已被确立用于医学本科生的教育,但国际研究表明,它们对于研究执业全科医生的表现可能也有价值。文中描述了一项初步研究,其中在加的夫的诊所使用了模拟患者。设计了一些角色,以激发关于健康风险的讨论。未遇到特别的实际问题,但有人对数据的有效性表示担忧。针对模拟患者使用的进一步发展提出了建议。
