Research on integrated classroom teaching model oriented by cases in teaching of oral nursing care

Abstract

Objective To investigate the application effect of integrated classroom teaching model oriented by cases in teaching of oral nursing care, and seek a new teaching model, to improve the clinical comprehensive ability of nursing students. Methods Totally 287 undergraduate nursing students of Wenzhou Medical University were selected as the research object, and were divided into the control group and the observation group randomly. The control group adopted the traditional teaching method, while the observation group adopted the integrated classroom teaching model oriented by cases. The autonomous learning ability, critical thinking ability and satisfaction of nursing students between two groups were compared by questionnaire. Results There were no differences between two groups in nursing students′ autonomous learning ability and critical thinking ability before teaching (P>0.05), but after teaching, the scores of autonomous learning ability and critical thinking ability of students in the observation group were significantly higher than those of students in the control group (P<0.05). The students′ satisfaction towards teaching in the observation group (91.97±11.37) was significantly higher than that of the control group (84.43±10.12) (P=0.006). The examination results of oral care clinical ability in the observation group (83.47±8.19) were significantly higher than that in the control group (71.86±6.23) (P=0.001). Conclusions The integrated classroom teaching model oriented by cases can increase nursing students′ autonomous learning ability, critical thinking ability and clinical practice ability, and improve the learning enthusiasm and comprehensive ability of nursing students.
