[Application of peer-assisted learning based on Mini-CEX combined with DOPS evaluation in the teaching of autoimmune liver diseases].

Objective To explore the effects of peer assistance model based on mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) combined with direct observation of procedural skill (DOPS) in the teaching of autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs). Methods A total of 115 residents receiving training in the Department of Gastroenterology of Xijing Hospital were selected and divided into a control group and an experimental group according to the order in which they came to the department. The control group received traditional teaching mode, while the experimental group underwent peer assistance model based on Mini-CEX combined with DOPS. Results The experimental group showed significantly higher scores in both clinical competence and medical record documentation compared to the control group. In addition, the experimental group reported higher satisfaction levels in terms of self-learning ability, learning interest, communication skills and cooperation ability. The overall satisfaction of the experimental group is higher than that of the control group. Conclusion The use of peer assisted learning mode based on Mini-CEX and DOPS in the AILD teaching could improve the teaching effects.
