Abstract

Background:. The new methods of the teaching of cardiovascular system ‌ have been surface anatomy educate is necessary for physical examinations in clinic. . The purpose of the present study was to identify of the effectiveness surface in the anatomy education of heart auscultation.
Material and Methods: A descriptive analytical study was conducted on 34 of the medical students were into divided two group according to sex then separately instructed to the small groups 17 (n=2) the students for teaching of the surface heart auscultation. Before and after education of heart auscultation the surface anatomy, they exactly find proper exact location for heart.. The collected data were analyzed by using pair and t tests.
Results: Out of 34 students 10 were male and 24 female , the average age of the students was 21.54± 1.63 in the males whereas it was 20.56± 1.6 in the females. Mean of time to the find correct foci for mitral , tricuspid, aorta and pulmonary of heart auscultation after surface anatomy education was significantly lesser compared with the current or before applying new education method (P < 0.001). Results showed heart auscultation for mitral, pulmonary and aorta was significantly compared better when compared with the result before surface anatomy education.
Conclusion: The results showed that teaching of the surface anatomy heart auscultation for medical students result in better finding of exact heart auscultation and decreased the time taking for finding such location.
