Highlights 

●Integrating ideological and political education into anesthesiology residency training enhances doctor-patient communication and humanistic care. 

● Residents in the combined training model demonstrated improved professional competence and clinical skills compared to those in the traditional training model. 

● Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in the observation group that received additional ideological and political education. 

● Mini-CEX and DOPS assessments can effectively measure the impact of the new teaching model on resident performance and patient interactions.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of incorporating ideological and political education into anesthesiology residency training, using the Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise combined with Direct Observation of Procedural Skills. Methods: Sixty resident physicians undergoing standardized training in the Anesthesiology Department of Jiangsu Cancer Hospital from December 2023 to June 2024 were randomly assigned to a control group and an observation group, with 30 residents in each. The control group received traditional clinical skill training, while the observation group received additional ideological and political education on the basis of control group. Both groups were evaluated using Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise and Direct Observation of Procedural Skills. Patient satisfaction with the residents was rated anonymously, and student feedback on the training model was collected via a questionnaire. Results: The residents in the observation group demonstrated superior performance in doc tor-patient communication, humanistic care, and professional competence compared to the control group (P<0.05). Patient satisfaction scores were also higher in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Integrating ideological and political education into standardized anesthesiology residency training can significantly enhance residents’ communication skills, humanistic care, and professional competence, leading to higher patient satisfaction.
