Objective:
To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of traditional teaching methods versus simulation-based learning in clinical ultrasound internships in obstetrics and gynecology.
Design:
A randomized controlled study was conducted to compare three teaching methods: simulation-based teaching, traditional + simulation-based teaching, and traditional teaching.
Setting:
The study was conducted at Longgang District Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital of Shenzhen City (Affiliated Shenzhen Women and Children's Hospital (Longgang) of Shantou University Medical College) from January 2023 to December 2024.
Population Or Sample:
A total of 120 clinical interns were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups (40 in each): Experimental Group 1 Simulation Teaching Group; Experimental Group 2 Traditional + Simulation Teaching Group; Control Group Traditional Teaching Group.
Methods:
All groups received theoretical and practical ultrasound training, followed by assessment. Teaching performance was evaluated based on teaching time, daily practice opportunities, content mastery, stress levels, error rates in clinical assessments, and long-term knowledge retention.
Main Outcome Measures:
Teaching time, number of daily practice opportunities, stress levels, content mastery, error rates during practical exams, and long-term knowledge retention.
Results:
Simulation-based teaching significantly improved teaching efficiency, reduced anxiety, and lowered error rates during clinical operations. Long-term knowledge retention was highest in the traditional + simulation group, and combining both teaching methods enhanced skills and knowledge retention.
Conclusions:
Simulation-based teaching, especially when combined with traditional methods, enhances ultrasound training by improving operational skills, reducing stress, and increasing long-term knowledge retention.

Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
