Abstract

Objective: To assess the impact of peer-assisted learning (PAL) on students' proficiency in patient interviewing skills and to explore medical students' perception on peer tutors in educational setting.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed in the College of Medicine, Hawler Medical University, Erbil, Iraq, between September 2021 and November 2021. The participants included second year medical students who were attending the Integrated Basic Sciences (IBS) module. The peer tutors were chosen from a group of sixth year medical students who had completed an intensive 18-hour communication skills course. The summative video assessment marks of study participants and their perceptions on the process were compared between the faculty-led group and the peer-assisted learning (PAL) group.

Results: Peer-assisted learning group (n = 83) had significantly higher mean (SD) scores compared to those in the faculty-led group (n = 92), [74.6 (8.1) vs 70.4 (7.1), P < 0.001]. Encouraging feedback was received from students regarding the PAL sessions with the most positive feedback regarding the ease in asking questions.

Conclusion: Peer-assisted learning improved students' performance in patient interviewing skills and fostered positive perceptions of the learning experience.

同伴辅助学习与教师指导面试技巧教学的比较研究：比较研究。

目的评估同伴辅助学习（PAL）对学生熟练掌握病人问诊技能的影响，并探讨医学生对教育环境中同伴辅导员的看法：一项横断面观察研究于 2021 年 9 月至 2021 年 11 月在伊拉克埃尔比勒霍勒医科大学医学院进行。参与者包括参加综合基础科学（IBS）模块的二年级医学生。朋辈辅导员是从完成了 18 小时沟通技巧强化课程的六年级医学生中挑选出来的。研究人员比较了教师指导小组和同伴辅助学习（PAL）小组的终结性视频评估分数以及他们对这一过程的看法：同伴辅助学习组（n = 83）的平均分（标清）明显高于教师指导组（n = 92）[74.6 (8.1) vs 70.4 (7.1), P ˂0.001]。学生们对 PAL 课程的反馈令人鼓舞，其中最积极的反馈来自于提问的轻松程度：结论：同伴互助学习提高了学生在病人访谈技能方面的表现，并培养了学生对学习体验的积极看法。
