Summary
The BOPPPS model significantly improved students' practical skills and awareness in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) mechanical prophylaxis techniques. This teaching approach enhances DVT prevention education through structured, evidence-based methods.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Vascular Surgery
- Public Health
Background:
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains a significant clinical challenge requiring effective prevention strategies.
- Mechanical prophylaxis is a key component in DVT management, necessitating robust training for healthcare professionals.
- Traditional teaching methods may not fully equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills for DVT prevention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the BOPPPS (Bridge-Objective-Pre-assessment-Participatory-Post-assessment-Summary) model in teaching DVT mechanical prophylaxis techniques.
- To assess the impact of the BOPPPS model on students' practical skills and awareness regarding DVT prevention.
- To explore the utility of action research in refining the DVT prophylaxis curriculum.
Main Methods:
- Action research, employing a "Plan-Act-Observe-Reflect" cycle, was used to iteratively improve the teaching of DVT mechanical prophylaxis.
- The BOPPPS model guided the instructional design and delivery of the DVT prophylaxis curriculum.
- Student performance was evaluated through practical training scores and self-assessment of DVT prophylaxis awareness.
Main Results:
- Practical training scores for DVT mechanical prophylaxis techniques showed a statistically significant increase across three cohorts (2019-2021), rising from 84.45±4.75 to 91.15±4.58.
- Self-evaluation scores for DVT prophylaxis awareness also demonstrated significant improvement, increasing from 95.93±2.78 to 98.47±2.47 (P < 0.01).
- Cohen's d effect sizes confirmed substantial improvements in both practical skills and awareness.
Conclusions:
- The BOPPPS model is an effective pedagogical tool for enhancing students' knowledge, practical skills, and awareness in DVT mechanical prophylaxis.
- Action research facilitates the standardization and scientific advancement of medical curricula, particularly in areas like DVT prevention.
- Integrating the BOPPPS model into DVT prophylaxis training can lead to better-prepared healthcare professionals and improved patient outcomes.
