- Abstract
Batkgrotud: The aim of present study was to deteriine the effect of using the experimental model of induction of structural-functional disorder in the practical training of gastrointestinal (GI) physiology on the level of knowledge and attitude of medical students. Methods: The present study was a descriptive study conducted on medical students for three consec.utive semesters. Initially, students were divided into groups of 15 people, and the experimental models of stress and peptic ulcer induction were explained theoretically using PowerPoint software. Then, for each group of students a rat, which was prepared on the same day as the stress ulcer model, was dissected after induction of anesthesia. At the end, students were asked to complete a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 7 questions in a 5-poim Tikert scale. Result: The participants were 187 medical students with mean age of 20.28 ± 1.82 years. Students agreed "high" and "very high" with holding the laboratory for raisingknowledge (90.4%), changing their attitude towards GI physiology (68.5%), enhancing their sldlls (54.5%), being interesting and innovative (89.9%), increasing their interest in leaning the topics of GI physiological theory (75.7%), identifying "stress ulcer and peptic ulcer" (79.2%), as well as holding the sessions of the laboratory for the future coures (84.5%). Conclusion: Findings indicated that experimental work on live animals greatly enhanced students' knowledge and leaning. It seems that using animals should not be replaced entirely by virtual experiments; however, the combination of several teaching methods such as blended laboratories is recommended for some concepts and physiological processes including in GI physiology.
