Application of 3D printing technology combined with Sandwich teaching method in clinical practice in oncology surgery department

ObjectiveTo explore the application of 3D printing technology combined with Sandwich teaching method in clinical practice in oncology surgery department.

MethodsSixty-four students who practiced in oncology surgery department were randomly divided into observation group and control group (32 students in each group).The control group received Sandwich teaching method, while the observation group received 3D printing technology combined with Sandwich teaching method.The theoretical and practical scores, satisfaction of self-evaluation (learning interest, independent thinking ability, social practice ability) and satisfaction with teachers' teaching were compared between the two groups.

ResultsThe scores of theory, frontier knowledge, history collection and physical examination, disease diagnosis and differential diagnosis in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.01).The satisfaction of learning interest, independent thinking ability, social practice ability and satisfaction with teachers' teaching in observation group were higher than those in control group (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).

ConclusionsIn the clinical practice teaching in oncology surgery department, the application of 3D printing technology combined with Sandwich teaching method can effectively improve the learning efficiency of clinical students, which is worthy of promotion in clinical teaching.
