Biomechanics—Based interdisciplinary collaborative teaching in epilepsy education: Enhancing clinical skills through problem—Solving approaches
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: In the clinical diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, the biomechanical mechanisms, including the mechanical changes in brain tissue during seizures and the biomechanical effects of drugs on neural conduction, play a crucial role in influencing diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes. The study introduces a multidisciplinary collaborative teaching model that incorporates biomechanical principles into epilepsy education for the first time. The study introduces a multidisciplinary collaborative teaching model that incorporates biomechanical principles into epilepsy education for the first time. A total of 120 medical students participating in epilepsy education from September 2023 to June 2024 were randomly divided into experimental and control groups The control group received traditional teaching methods, while the experimental group adopted a problem-based learning (PBL) multidisciplinary collaborative teaching model. This study assessed key competencies, including diagnostic accuracy, treatment plan design, interdisciplinary collaboration, and clinical thinking. Results indicated that students in the experimental group developed a deeper understanding of the biomechanical mechanisms underlying epilepsy and demonstrated significant improvements in clinical diagnostic abilities and interdisciplinary collaboration skills. Notably, the experimental group outperformed the control group in treatment plan design and interdisciplinary collaboration skills. The PBL-based multidisciplinary collaborative teaching model significantly improved students’ clinical diagnostic abilities, treatment plan design, and interdisciplinary collaboration skills, contributing to enhanced clinical thinking and self-directed learning abilities. This innovative teaching model provides new insights for advancing epilepsy education.
