Summary
Online Team-Based Learning effectively enhances clinical reasoning skills in orthopedic residents. This approach improved Script Concordance Test scores, demonstrating its value in postgraduate medical education.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Clinical Reasoning
- Orthopedics
Background:
- Clinical reasoning is crucial for healthcare professionals, involving judgment and expertise in complex situations.
- This study assessed the efficacy of online Team-Based Learning (TBL) for teaching Clinical Reasoning Skills (CRS).
- Script Concordance Test (SCT) scores were the primary measure of effectiveness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of an online TBL approach for teaching Clinical Reasoning Skills (CRS).
- To determine if online TBL improves SCT scores among postgraduate orthopedic residents.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental study was conducted with postgraduate orthopedic residents.
- Participants completed pre- and post-intervention SCT assessments.
- An online TBL session was implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Main Results:
- Mean SCT scores significantly increased from 32.50 (pre-test) to 37.81 (post-test) (P=0.023).
- Residents in the lowest pre-test quartile showed a substantial improvement, with scores rising from 21.38 to 35.13 (P=0.027).
Conclusions:
- Online TBL significantly enhanced students' performance on the SCT.
- Online TBL is an effective method for improving clinical reasoning skills in orthopedic postgraduate training.

Critical thinking is a cognitive process with several attributes. The attributes of critical thinking include the following:
01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:24Critical Thinking I
Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career with...
01:13Patient-centered Care
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

01:26Modeling in Therapy
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
