Abstract
Objective: This study explores the application value of the “1+N” tutorial system in standardized training of thoracic surgery residents. Methods: A total of 40 residents who received standardized training in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of our hospital from January 2022 to June 2025 were selected as research objects. Among them, 20 residents trained from January 2022 to July 2023 were included in the control group, and 20 residents trained from August 2023 to June 2025 were included in the study group. The control group adopted the traditional teaching mode, while the study group adopted the “1+N” tutorial system. The two groups were compared in terms of scores of written theory examination, skill operation assessment, professionalism, and doctor-patient communication ability. Results: The scores of the written theory examination and skill operation assessment in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). In terms of professionalism evaluation, the study group scored significantly higher in medical ethics, teamwork, medical quality, and professional spirit (P < 0.05). In doctor-patient communication ability, the study group also achieved higher scores in skills of informing patients of their condition, standardization of informed consent form signing, conflict resolution ability, and human-istic care (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of the “1+N” tutorial system in standardized training of thoracic surgery residents can effectively improve their scores in theory and operation assessments, as well as enhance their professionalism and doctor-patient communication ability.
