Application research of “Script Killing” immersive teaching method based on cross-experimental design during emergency department residency training rotations

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Script Killing" teaching method and the traditional teaching method in enhancing the learning outcomes of emergency medicine resident trainees during the standardized training period, from May to October 2024, we recruited 30 resident physicians from the emergency department of Zhengzhou People's Hospital as the research subjects and randomly divided them into Group A and Group B. The experiment adopted a crossover design: the first stage (6 weeks) - Group A received traditional lecture-based teaching, while Group B received immersive Script Killing" teaching; the second stage (6 weeks) - the two groups exchanged teaching intervention methods. The assessment contents included satisfaction surveys, theoretical knowledge tests, practical skill evaluations, and patient-doctor evaluations. The experimental results were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 to adjust for confounding factors. The results showed that the satisfaction of the "Script Killing" group was significantly higher (P < 0.05), the theoretical scores were better (P < 0.05), and the practical performance was also better (P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in the traditional teaching group. No statistical differences were observed in patient-doctor feedback. These preliminary findings suggest that the "Script Killing" teaching method may effectively enhance the clinical operational abilities and learning satisfaction of emergency medicine trainees. Although limited by a small sample size and single-center design, this approach shows promise as a beneficial supplement to standardized residency training, warranting further validation in larger cohorts.

Abstract

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the "Script Killing" teaching method and the traditional teaching method in enhancing the learning outcomes of emergency medicine resident trainees during the standardized training period, from May to October 2024, we recruited 30 resident physicians from the emergency department of Zhengzhou People's Hospital as the research subjects and randomly divided them into Group A and Group B. The experiment adopted a crossover design: the first stage (6 weeks) - Group A received traditional lecture-based teaching, while Group B received immersive Script Killing" teaching; the second stage (6 weeks) - the two groups exchanged teaching intervention methods. The assessment contents included satisfaction surveys, theoretical knowledge tests, practical skill evaluations, and patient-doctor evaluations. The experimental results were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 to adjust for confounding factors. The results showed that the satisfaction of the "Script Killing" group was significantly higher (P < 0.05), the theoretical scores were better (P < 0.05), and the practical performance was also better (P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference in the traditional teaching group. No statistical differences were observed in patient-doctor feedback. These preliminary findings suggest that the "Script Killing" teaching method may effectively enhance the clinical operational abilities and learning satisfaction of emergency medicine trainees. Although limited by a small sample size and single-center design, this approach shows promise as a beneficial supplement to standardized residency training, warranting further validation in larger cohorts.
