Objective To explore the application of conceive-design-implement-operate (CDIP) teaching modein the training for neurosurgical specialist nurses' core competence. Methods A total of 76 trainees of neurosurgery specialist nurses in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from October 2014 to August 2018 were selected as the research objects. The goal and content of core competence training were formulated by CDIO teaching mode, and the training program was designed and implemented. The results of core competence, general self-efficacy, theoretical assessment and nursing practice assessment before and after training were compared. Results The total score of general self-efficacy of trainees after training was (29.54±5.02) , higher than that before training (27.43±4.73) , with statistical difference (P<0.01) ; the core competencies of trainees after training included critical thinking and scientific research (CR) , clinical care (CC) , leadership (LD) , interpersonal relationship (IR) , law and ethics (LE) , professional development (PD) and teaching consultation (TC) were (31.29±5.52) , (29.11±4.73) , (32.08±5.35) , (25.78±4.97) , (25.72±5.10) , (20.13±3.25) , (22.37±4.42) respectively, higher than those before training[ (27.33±6.08) , (26.93±5.84) , (29.32±6.51) , (23.13±5.38) , (22.92±5.75) , (18.87±4.33) , (20.72±5.19) ]with statistical significance (P<0.05) . The scores of theoretical and nursing practice assessment of trainees after training were (91.96±3.58) , (95.17±2.34) respectively, higher than those before training [ (78.87±4.96) , (83.21±3.98) ] with statistical difference (P<0.01) . Conclusions The application of CDIO teaching model in the training of neurosurgical specialist nurses can improve students' core competence and general self-efficacy, and provide useful reference for the training of neurosurgical specialist nurses' core competence.
