Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of virtual simulation experiment teaching of lumbar puncture on improving the clinical skills of resident physicians in our neurology department.Methods 183 resident physicians in Daping Hospital of Army Military Medical University were included and divided into traditional teaching group(control group,92 persons)and virtual simulation experiment teaching group(observation group,91 persons).The effect of virtual simulation experiment teaching of lumbar puncture and traditional teaching method on improving the neurological skills of resident physicians was studied.The results of theoretical assessment,operational assessment,teaching effect evaluation and teaching satisfaction of the two groups of residents were compared.Results The theoretical scores of lumbar puncture of residents in control group were significantly lower than those in observation group[(89.16±13.57)points vs(96.76±7.10)points,P<0.05].Comparing the performance of the two groups,the performance of the control group was significantly worse than that of the observation group[(77.83±12.56)points vs(85.27±7.55)points(P<0.05)].Compared with the control group,the observation group had higher teaching effect evaluation and teaching satisfaction evaluation,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Virtual simulation experiment teaching of lumbar puncture is a new teaching mode,which can stimulate the interest of residents,effectively improve the theoretical and technical performance of residents,improve the teaching quality,and improve the satisfaction of clinical teaching.It is an effective means to improve the neurological skills of residents,and is worthy of popularization and application.
