Objective To assess the effectiveness of evidence-based medicine for improving core competencies of undergraduate medical students. Methods MEDLINE, ERIC, Academic Source Premier, Campbell Library databases and three Chinese Databases (CBM, CNKI, VIP) were searched from January 1992 to May 2009.We also used Google to searching related literature. The design is a systematic review of randomized, non-randomized, and before-after studies. Two reviewers did study selection, quality assessment, and data abstraction independently. Different opinions were resolved by consensus. We used an adaptation of the quality measure from Gemma Flores-Mateo et al to assess the quality of selected studies. And descriptive analysis was conducted. Results A total of 17 studies met the selection criteria, 2 of them were of high quality, the others were of moderate quality. Studies involved Competencies of Scientific Foundation of Medicine, Clinical Skills, and Management of Information. Conclusion Competencies of Scientific Foundation of Medicine, Clinical Skills, and Management of Information are improved by evidence-based medicine teaching. No study on professional values, attitudes, behavior and ethics, population health and health systems, management of information, critical thinking and research is available. It is impossible to assess the four domains above.
Objective To analyze caring ability and its associated factors among baccalaureate nursing students, so as to put forward suggestions for improving students’ caring ability. Methods A cross-sectional study was used to investigate baccalaureate nursing students’ caring ability and its associated factors in 4 nursing departments of medical universities in Sichuan province. Results The grade of overall status quo of students’ caring ability was 189.72±19.57, and the mean item scores of different subscales showed that patience was highest and courage was lowest.Two variablescould explain the differences in baccalaureate nursing students’ caring ability: relationship with mother and clinical practice. Conclusion Our study suggests that students’ caring ability could be improved by practicing caring and increasing their exposure to clinical practice. Our findings also suggest that school, society and family are all involved in the cultivation of caring ability.
Objective To find the best teaching method of summer EBM course to help students understand and apply EBM principles in research. Methods Training medical students to participate in an international team of clinical research for best evidence. We used a step-by-step method to teach how to write Cochrane systematic review and apply its method to other researches. Results Since our training program was launched three years ago, 38 medical students have taken part in the training. Five Cochrane systematic reviews and 19 protocols were published in The Cochrane L ibrary. Three medical students were the principal investigators and played an important role in another 2 studies. Seven articles were published in Chinese medical key journals, and 1 was indexed by SCI. Eleven students were funded to participate in the international academic conferences.Conclusions Medical students will benefit from taking part in the EBM research. This activity will help them not only understand method of clinical research and EBM , improve the quality of research and their cooperative skills but also master related clinical knowledge.
目的 了解高校护理本科生（下称护生）在临床实习阶段对带教教师的具体期望，为临床带教老师的培养提供依据。 方法 以杜威的反思思维理论为基础，使用Van Manen的诠释现象学研究方法暨反思日记分析，于2011年1月对67名护生的临床反思日记进行分析；同时采用自行设计的问卷就护生对临床教学的评价进行调查。 结果 护生对临床带教教师的反思主要集中于5个主题，即期望带教老师制定合理的、有针对性的带教计划并采用灵活多样的教学手段，期望得到带教老师的肯定和鼓励，期望得到独立实践护理角色的机会，期望带教老师注重培养护生的临床思维能力，期望带教老师拥有良好的综合素质；护生对临床教学评价总平均分为（4.51 ± 0.06）分，得分率为87.3%。 结论 临床带教老师在不断提升自身综合素质的同时，应根据护理本科人才能力培养目标制定合理的实习计划，选择恰当的教学方式，提供良好的临床学习环境，以进一步提高临床教学质量。

In the clinical intern period, with better teaching methods, nursing students can faster and better complete the transformation from simple knowledge acceptance to use of knowledge to solve practical problems. We summarized some innovative teaching methods in the clinical intern period of the nursing undergraduate students in recent years, and analyzed the scientific base and advantages of each method, to provide a theoretical reference for the clinical teaching of undergraduate nursing practice.
【摘要】 目的 分析临床实习对护理本科生专业认同的影响，探讨提高专业认同的措施。 方法 2010年6—10月，对某综合性大学60名2007级普通全日制护理本科生进行抽样调查，评价其实习前1个月和实习后3个月的专业认同情况，比较实习前、后的变化并分析影响因素。 结果 实习后专业认同的专业价值观得分[（3.13±0.85）分]高于实习前[（2.78±1.00）分]，实验专业期望得分[（12.09±2.13）分]低于实习前[（13.13±1.30）分]，差异有统计学意义（P=0.045，0.002）；而专业认识、情感、意志、技能和专业认同总分方面，实习前、后差异无统计学意义（Pgt;0.05）；其影响因素由强到弱依次为:带教老师（37.04%）、实际的护理工作（33.33%）、实习科室（22.22%）、他人态度（7.41%）。 结论 临床实习可提高护理本科生的专业价值观，带教老师及实际护理工作对专业认同影响较大。【Abstract】 Objective To analyze the effect of clinical practice on student nurses’ professional identity and explore measures to develop their professional identity. Methods Convenience sampling was used to select 60 general full-time student nurses who entered a comprehensive university in 2007. Then we assessed their professional identity at the time of one month before, and three months after clinical practice, compared the two results, and analyzed the related factors. Results The score of professional value dimension after clinical practice was higher than before (3.13±0.85 vs. 2.78±1.00, P=0.045), while the professional expectation dimension was lower than before (12.09±2.13 vs. 13.13±1.30, P=0.002), and the differences in above-mentioned indexes were statistically significant. There was no statistical difference before and after clinical practice in professional knowledge, professional affection, professional volition, professional skill dimensions, and total score of professional identity (Pgt;0.05). The related factors in a order from b to weak were clinical teacher (37.04%), practice work (33.33%), training department (22.22%), and others’ attitudes (7.41%). Conclusion Clinical practice may improve professional values but impair professional expectations of the student nurses, and clinical teacher and practice work have a great effect on student nurses’ professional identity.
