Effects of PBL combined with WeChat video teaching mode of the practice nurses teaching in digestive endoscope department

Abstract

Objective To explore the application effects of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with WeChat video teaching mode of the practice nurses teaching in digestive endoscope department, so as to provide ideas and methods for practice nurses teaching of digestive endoscopy. Methods A total of 90 practice nurses who entered the gastroenterology department of the Central Hospital of Enshi Autonomous Prefecture our Institute of digestive endoscopy from January to December 2017 were selected as the research subjects by cluster sampling. The 45 practice nurses from January to June 2017 were recruited as the control group, and the other 45 from July to December 2017 were recruited as the experimental group. The control group used the conventional teaching method. The experimental group used PBL combined with WeChat video teaching mode. After 1 month's practice, the theoretical knowledge, teaching satisfaction and critical thinking ability were compared between the two groups. Results The theoretical knowledge score of the control group was (83.49±6.82) , which was lower than that of the experimental group (89.97±4.38) , and the difference was statistically significant (t=-5.363, P<0.001) . The satisfaction rate of the control group was 55.56%, which was lower than that of the experimental group (88.89%) , and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=12.461, P<0.001) . The total score and the scores of each dimension of critical thinking ability of control group were all lower than those of the experimental group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusions The application of PBL combined with WeChat video teaching mode in the teaching practice of digestive endoscopy nurses can improve the academic knowledge scores of practice nurses, improve their satisfaction with teachers, and help the training of critical thinking ability, which is worthy of clinical reference and promotion.
