Application of the combination of PBL, CBL and TBL teaching method in training of ophthalmic nurses

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effects of problem-based learning (PBL), case-based learning (CBL) and team-based learning (TBL) teaching method in the training of ophthalmic nurses. Methods Totally 14 nurses in a hospital were selected and randomly divided into two groups: six in the control group and eight in the intervention group. During the three months of training, nurses in the control group received LBL teaching method, while nurses in the intervention group were trained with the combination of PBL, CBL and TBL teaching method. Theoretical and skills results were recorded and compared between two groups, and the teaching efficiency was investigated. Results After training, theoretical and skills results in the intervention group were all higher than that in the control group (P 0.05); Suitable study burden dimension in the control group got higher score (P<0.05); the rest of indicators in the intervention group were all higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The application of the combination of TBL, PBL and CBL teaching method can stimulate nurses′ study interest and enthusiasm as well as communication and clinical practice skills.
