Abstract：Objective To explore the application effect of Balint group combined with role-playing teaching method in preoperative vis-its during standardized training for anesthesiology residents.Methods Fifty residents undergoing standardized training in the department of anesthesiology in 2023 were selected and randomly divided into the control group(n=25)and the experimental group(n=25)using a random number table method.The experimental group adopted the Balint group combined with role-playing teaching method,while the control group received traditional teaching methods.The Liverpool communication skills assessment(LCSAS)scale was used to compare the doctor-patient communication competency of the two groups before and after the training and the pre-operative visit situations perform-ance of the two groups after teaching,as well as satisfaction rate of training among residents.Results The experimental group showed significantly higher differences in the LCSAS scale scores(2.44±1.04),questioning ability in history-taking skills(4.24±0.44),pro-gress in doctor-patient communication competency(4.32±0.63)and use of professional terminology(4.28±0.46),the learning interest and initiative in terms of humanistic literacy(4.20±0.50),team coordination ability(4.32±0.63),and overall teaching satisfaction(4.20±0.58)compared to the control group.The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclu-sion The Balint group combined with role-playing teaching method can improve the doctor-patient communication competency of anesthe-siology residents,enhance the efficiency of preoperative visits,and achieve higher teaching satisfaction among residents.
