Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect of seminar based on case-based learning (CBL) in practical teaching of physical therapy.

Methods From July, 2021 to June, 2022, 42 rehabilitation therapy students for internships in Rehabilitation Medicine Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were non-directionally recruited, and randomly divided into control group (n = 21) and experimental group (n = 21). The experimental group received instruction using seminar and CBL, while the control group received CBL alone, for three months. The scores of theoretical and practical assessments were observed, and the satisfaction was investigated using a self-designed questionnaire.

Results The scores of both theoretical and practical assessments were better in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.421, P < 0.05); while the satisfaction was better in terms of motivating learning enthusiasm, enhancing learning abilities, cultivating clinical reasoning skills, improving teacher-student communication, promoting teamwork, enhancing overall competence, and satisfying to the teaching in the experimental group than in the control group (χ2 > 6.667, P < 0.05).

Conclusion The combination of seminar with CBL would enhance the effect of practical teaching in physical therapy.
