Effect of team-based tutorial system to nursing student in the order cultivation pattern

Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of team-based tutorial system to nursing student in the order cultivation Pattern. Methods This study used the convenience sampling method. 109 students were choosed from orientation training classes that 2012 and 2013 grade as the research subjects. The 59 students from 2013 grade as the test group, implement team-based tutorial system to them in the fourth semester. The 50 students from 2012 grade that had been implemented general management as the control group, then compare the fourth semester final grade, classes atmosphere, the evaluation of patients and clinical teachers over the same period. Results The test group and control group students' scores of their fourth semester final grade, classes atmosphere, the evaluation of clinical teachers and patients were (92.39±2.39), (3.45±0.64), (95.33±2.01), (94.75±2.38) points and (90.91±2.62), (3.14±0.63), (91.00±1.82), (90.63±2.34) points. There was difference between them, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-7.82 ~3.06,P <0.05). Conclusions The implementation of team-based tutorial system to nursing student in the order cultivation pattern can improve students' academic performance, improve their class atmosphere and their communication skills so that patients get good evaluation of patients and clinical teachers.
