Abstract

Objective To improve the standardized training effects of the first year graduate new nurses by the mini clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) . Methods By cluster sampling, a total of 91 new nurses hired in 2017 of Xinqiao Hospital Affiliated to Army Medical University were in control group; and 120 new nurses hired in 2018 were in experimental group. Control group carried out routine training method. On the basis of that, experimental group implemented the Mini-CEX based clinical nursing core competence training and operational skill training once a month after changing routine teaching rounds and operational training, lasting 12 times. The scores of Mini-CEX for the first and twelfth time of experimental group were compared by paired sample t-test, the theoretical achievements and skill performances of new nurses between two groups were compared by independent sample t-test. Results The scores of Mini-CEX of clinical nursing core competence training and operational skill training in experimental group for the twelfth time were (6.27±0.46) and (6.73±1.10) respectively, higher than those for the first time with statistical differences (t=-8.48, -7.64; P<0.01) . Among new nurses in standardized training of the first year, the theoretical achievements and skill performances of department in experimental group were (87.70±11.32) and (92.90±8.22) , those of hospital were (85.50±11.83) and (89.67±8.99) respectively, higher than those in control group with statistical differences (t=-2.71, -2.09, -2.24, -3.22; P<0.05) .
