Application of scenario simulation combined Mini-CEX teaching model in gynecology and obstetrics resident teaching: A case study of paclitaxel and cisplatin use

This study aims to investigate the application of scenario simulation combined with the Mini-CEX teaching model on the instruction of paclitaxel and cisplatin use in gynecology and obstetrics residents. A retrospective analysis was conducted, selecting 32 gynecology and obstetrics residents who received traditional teaching from July 2019 to June 2021 as the control group, and another 27 gynecology and obstetrics residents who received scenario simulation combined with Mini-CEX teaching from July 2021 to June 2023 as the observation group. In comparison to controls, participants from our observational cohort demonstrated superior performance across both theoretical examinations and case analyses (P<0.05). Furthermore, within our observational cohort we observed heightened proficiency across all seven dimensions assessed by Mini-CEX compared to controls (P<0.05). Additionally, the total score of teaching satisfaction in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). Notably, the satisfaction score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The application of scenario simulation combined with Mini-CEX teaching mode has a positive impact on the instruction of paclitaxel and cisplatin use in gynecology and obstetrics residents. It improved clinical competence and satisfaction and is worth promoting.
