Application of hospital-wards chain pre-service training mode for newly-employed nurses in hospital of traditional Chinese medicine

Abstract

Objective To improve the pre-service training effect for newly-employed nurses and to hence the nursing service needs of the hospital of traditional Chinese medicine .Methods Using the convenient sampling, thirty-eight newly-employed nurses of 2011 were chosen and constituted the control group , who were trained by the traditional pre-service training pattern .Another thirty-eight newly-employed nurses of 2012 were also chosen and constituted the experiment group , who were trained by the two-tier （ hospital and wards ） chain pre-service training mode .Results The scores of basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine , operation test and comprehensive capacities evaluation were （59.68 ±10.23）, （70.13 ±7.96）, （55.91 ±7.74） for the experiment group and （60.17 ±9.45）, （69.85 ±8.48）, （55.82 ±8.60） for the control group before training, and there were no significant differences between two groups （t=0.216, 0.148, 0.048, respectively;P〉0.05）.After training, the scores of basic knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine , operation test and comprehensive capacities evaluation were （86.60 ±6.84）, （87.10 ±7.25）, （70.19 ±9.96） for the experiment group and （70.56 ±8.69）, （72.81 ±9.28）, （69.85 ±8.48） for the control group, and the differences were statistically significant （t=8.940, 7.480, 4.401, respectively;P〈0.05）.The satisfaction rate of training time , content , method and resource were significantly higher in the experiment group than those in the control group （t=7.617, 35.894, 8.409, 7.999, respectively;P〈0.05）.Conclusions The two-tier （ hospital and wards ） chain pre-service training mode can fully improve the clinic nursing ability of new nurses , and assist them to meet the requirements of nursing .
