Exploring the Application of Narrative Medicine Combined With Case-Based Learning in the Standardized Training of General Practice Residents

This was a prospective, longitudinal, single-center nonrandomized controlled study. A total of 36 first- and second-year general practice residents of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were voluntarily enrolled in the experimental group. The remaining 9 residents served as a control group. The experimental group received narrative medicine training combined with CBL training. The control group received normal CBL training. None of the participants had previously had any training in narrative medicine. Teaching evaluation scores were measured for all subjects at baseline and 1 year after the training.

Primary outcomes

  1. Satisfaction Survey of Residents in the Experimental Group

    Time frame: 12 months

    The satisfaction survey was divided into five levels, ranging from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree". The higher percent of agree means better result.

  2. Comparison of the SEGUE scale scores Between the Experimental Group and the Control Group

    Time frame: 12 months

    The SEGUE scale scores were generated by assigning a value of "1" for "yes", "0" for "no" and "0.5" for "cannot answer". High scores indicate stronger clinical communication skills.

  3. Comparison of the JSE-S scale scores Between the Experimental Group and the Control Group

    Time frame: 12 months

    The JSE-S scale scores adopts a 7-point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". The higher total score indicating a greater level of empathy.

  4. Comparison of the SEGUE scale in Different Grades Before and After Training in the Experimental Group

    Time frame: 12 months

    The SEGUE scale scores were generated by assigning a value of "1" for "yes", "0" for "no" and "0.5" for "cannot answer". High scores indicate stronger clinical communication skills.

  5. Comparison of the JSE-S scale in Different Grades Before and After Training in the Experimental Group

    Time frame: 12 months

    The JSE-S scale scores adopts a 7-point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". The higher total score indicating a greater level of empathy.
