“…Therefore, the important responsibility of medical schools at the current stage is to cultivate and inherit the medical humanistic spirit to the majority of medical and nursing practitioners. Medical students are the future doctors and the main body of future medical activities [7,8]. The cultivation of the humanistic spirit of medical students is directly related to the cultivation of the comprehensive quality of medical talents.…”

Medical colleges need to strengthen the cultivation of medical students’ humanistic and spiritual literacy. First of all, schools need to change the current educational concept and the cultivation mode of humanistic quality. In educational work, schools should pay attention to the social cognitive skills of medical students, and at the same time pay attention to the cultivation of students’ basic qualities. Schools need to find problems in time, and schools need to take corresponding measures to deal with these problems. Medical colleges need to strengthen the training of medical students’ comprehensive quality and incorporate humanistic education into the goal of all-round development of medical students. Specifically, schools need to adopt a work method of distributed implementation and distributed guidance to fully mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of school leaders, teachers, and students themselves. Schools need to strengthen inspection and supervision and summarize the experiences and lessons that students have learned in their learning. On this basis, schools need to improve the quality and efficiency of students’ humanities education work. Through the analysis of multisource medical data, this paper conducts research on the working mode of humanistic quality cultivation in medical colleges. Specifically, school education will be people-centered. Schools need to cultivate the humanistic spirit of medical students in the ideological and political education work. This paper conducts mathematical statistical analysis based on multisource medical data and analyzes the differences in the effect of different teaching modes and training methods on the cultivation of medical students’ humanistic spiritual literacy. Based on this, the research proposes recommendations for the future development of medical schools. First of all, schools need to build a humanized classroom, combine skills education with moral education, and improve the learning efficiency of student groups. In addition, schools need to teach students to feel respected and valued. Secondly, schools need to implement human-oriented teaching work to give full play to students’ own talents and personalities. During school education work, schools need to organically combine classroom education and social practice. Schools need to link teaching and real society and link students’ learning process with real life. Schools need to organically combine reading and learning with life, so as to promote the all-round development of students’ humanistic quality.

“…As well as addressing the above limitations, future research should aim to build on the current findings and provide more rigorous evidence by employing a randomized controlled trial study design and including a larger sample size to ensure children with a greater range of ages and abilities are included. Future studies could also investigate the effects of ABRA delivered within the context of an inclusive online or face‐to‐face classroom or small group learning setting for children with Down syndrome (Vousden et al, 2022). Additionally, future research could aim to tease apart the relative contributions of ABRA instruction and parent‐led SBR on children's reading outcomes.…”

Background COVID‐19 has resulted in some educators and allied health practitioners transitioning to online delivery of literacy instruction. As far as we are aware, no studies have investigated online delivery of comprehensive literacy instruction for children with Down syndrome. Aims In this pilot study, we explore the efficacy of online delivery of ABRACADABRA (a free literacy web application) for children with Down syndrome, alongside supplementary parent‐led shared book reading, during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Sample Six children with Down syndrome, aged 8–12 years, participated in this within‐participants design study. Methods Participants acted as their own controls with outcome variables measured at three timepoints: baseline, pre‐instruction and post‐instruction. Children participated in 16–18 hrs of one‐to‐one literacy instruction online over a 6‐week instruction phase, along with twice weekly parent‐led shared book reading activities. Results Outcomes from standardized assessments revealed statistically significant improvements in word‐ and passage‐level reading accuracy skills over the instruction phase (pre‐instruction to post‐instruction) compared with the no‐instruction control phase (baseline to pre‐instruction). Improvements in reading comprehension skills were inconsistent across assessment measures and statistical analyses. Conclusion Children with Down syndrome can benefit from comprehensive literacy instruction delivered via telepractice. Our study provides critical initial evidence of successful service delivery during a global pandemic and beyond.

Background Medical education needs to strengthen its focus on improving the humanistic quality of medical students while improving their medical knowledge and skills. This study aims to identify and integrate the current literature and research hotspots on raising medical students' humanistic literacy to provide a reference for researchers. Methods CiteSpace is a Java application which supports visual exploration with knowledge discovery in bibliographic databases. We searched the China Knowledge Network (CNKI) database for articles published between 1995 and 2022. "Humanistic quality of medical students" was the key search term. Titles and abstracts were screened and extracted according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The CiteSpace software was used to retrieve 941 humanistic quality journal articles geared toward medical students from the CNKI database up to April 2022. A comprehensive review was conducted on these articles to reveal the current situation and hotspots of research aimed at improving medical students’ humanistic quality. Results The study found that the number of publications on humanities literacy research for medical students has increased overall over the past 20 years, although a certain graph shows an inverted S-shaped fluctuation. Research on improving the humanistic quality of Chinese medical students is predominantly conducted by medical colleges. No single author or institutional core group dominates the field of research on medical students' humanistic qualities. The main study focuses on humanistic qualities, medical students, higher vocational students, and higher vocational colleges. Conclusion Based on the research trends of medical students' humanistic literacy, combined with CiteSpace’s visual knowledge maps, this study provides an in-depth understanding of the main authors, institutions, and research hotspots in humanistic literacy for medical students. The information in this study is most valuable to researchers interested in medical student education. This study summarizes the current development and ideological foundations of humanistic literacy among medical students in China. This study helps researchers to grasp the scientific development and research issues in the field of humanistic literacy of medical students in China.
