Summary
Structured worksheets improve resident teaching in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) clerkships. This pilot study found that students perceived enhanced clinical reasoning and resident teaching quality when worksheets were used effectively.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Graduate Medical Education
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
Background:
- Resident teaching quality is crucial for medical student education.
- Structured educational tools may enhance teaching effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of structured worksheets on resident teaching during the obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) clerkship.
- To assess medical student perceptions of resident teaching quality with and without structured worksheets.
Main Methods:
- Development of structured worksheets for resident use in teaching medical students.
- Pilot study involving focus groups and surveys with medical students completing the OB/GYN clerkship.
- Analysis of qualitative themes from focus groups and quantitative data from surveys.
Main Results:
- 37 medical students participated in focus groups and surveys.
- Positive student attitudes towards structured worksheets were reported.
- Worksheets facilitated student clinical reasoning and assisted residents in effective questioning.
Conclusions:
- Structured worksheets can significantly aid resident teaching in OB/GYN clerkships.
- Student perception of teaching quality is highest when residents use worksheets purposefully.
- Effective implementation of worksheets can foster a stronger student learning environment.

2.2K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
