Preterm models play a pivotal role in medical education and training, with far-reaching and extensive implications. Here's a breakdown of what it means:

First, improve operational skills and proficiency

The preterm model provides a risk-free, repeatable learning environment for medical students and health care workers. In this environment, they can repeatedly practice the basic operations of preterm care such as keeping warm, cleaning, feeding, monitoring vital signs, and so on, thus significantly improving their operational skills and proficiency. Such repeated practice opportunities are difficult to obtain in real clinical Settings, so the emergence of preterm models has greatly compensated for this lack.

2. Reduce medical risks

Since the physiological characteristics of premature infants are significantly different from those of full-term infants, they need more attention and careful operation in the nursing process. In a real environment, even experienced health care workers can cause unnecessary harm to premature babies due to improper procedures. The use of premature baby models for training can ensure the safety of the premise, so that medical personnel familiar with and master the nursing process and operating points of premature babies, so as to reduce the medical risks that may occur in actual clinical work.

Third, promote the innovation of teaching methods

The application of premature infant model has promoted the innovation of medical teaching methods. Traditional medical teaching often relies on the combination of theory teaching and clinical practice, but this method has many limitations. As a new teaching tool, the preterm model can show the physiological characteristics and nursing process of preterm infants more vividly and intuitively, making the teaching content more abundant and interesting. At the same time, it can also provide students with immediate feedback and assessment, helping them to identify and correct their own mistakes in time.

4. Improve teamwork ability

Teamwork is crucial in the care of premature babies. When using the preterm infant model for training, medical staff need to jointly develop nursing plans, cooperate to complete nursing tasks, and timely communicate the condition and nursing progress. This training method can effectively improve the teamwork ability of medical staff, so that they can better cooperate in actual work, and escort the health of premature infants.

To sum up, preterm models are of great significance in medical education and training. It can not only help medical staff improve operational skills and proficiency, reduce medical risks, promote innovation in teaching methods, but also improve team collaboration. Therefore, preterm models will play a more important role in medical education and training in the future.
