Effective bedside teaching (BST) relies on motivated educators and ample clinical examination time. Optimizing this core medical education element involves focusing on lecturer motivation and patient engagement for higher perceived quality.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Clinical Skills Training
Background:
- Bedside teaching (BST) is fundamental to medical training but its efficient utilization is under-researched.
- Limited evidence exists on specific quality characteristics of effective BST.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of teacher and structural factors on the perceived quality of bedside teaching.
- To identify key elements for optimizing BST efficiency and effectiveness.
Main Methods:
- Filmed and analyzed 36 BST sessions involving 24 lecturers and 259 students.
- Assessed structural factors (student/patient numbers, duration, clinical exam proportion) and lecturer characteristics (experience, motivation).
- Utilized student evaluations and statistical analysis (Pearson r, linear mixed model).
Main Results:
- Lecturer intrinsic motivation strongly correlated with perceived BST quality; experience showed a weaker correlation.
- The number of patients and proportion of time spent on clinical examination significantly impacted clinical teaching quality.
- Optimizing BST involves incorporating multiple patients and prioritizing clinical examination.
Conclusions:
- Lecturer motivation is a more critical factor than experience in delivering high-quality bedside teaching.
- Structural elements, particularly patient variety and clinical examination time, are crucial for effective clinical skills development during BST.
