ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the application effect of outcome-based education (OBE) concept on the teaching of otorhinolaryngology nursing.Methods:A total of 97 nursing interns from the Department of Otorhinolaryngology in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University were selected as the research objects. Among them, 46 ones from March 2017 to February 2019 were collected as the control group, and 51 ones from March 2019 to February 2021 as the observation group. The control group adopted traditional nursing clinical teaching, and the observation group adopted the nursing clinical teaching based on the OBE concept. All the nursing students had an internship for 3 weeks, and had an evaluation in terms of the clinical communication ability of the two groups of nursing students when they leave the department (the nursing students' clinical communication ability assessment scale), the daily life problem solving ability (simplified Chinese version of the daily life problem solving questionnaire), theoretical and operational assessment results, and the internship satisfaction (nursing student internship satisfaction scale). SPSS 19.0 was used for independent-sample t test. Results:When leaving the department, the observation group's clinical communication ability scores were significantly higher than those of the control group in such dimensions as establishing a harmonious relationship, keen listening, confirming patient problems, participating together, transmitting effective information, and verifying feelings ( P<0.05). The scores of simplified Chinese version of the daily life problem solving questionnaire of rational problem solving and positive problem orientation of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05), while the scores of negative problem orientation, avoidance style and impulsivity/carelessness style were significantly lower than those of the control group ( P<0.05). The scores of theoretical and operational evaluations of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05). The practice satisfaction scores on each dimension of the observation group, including clinical teaching, classroom teaching, and internship plan, support and resources were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The OBE concept applied in the teaching of otorhinolaryngology nursing can enhance the clinical communication ability and daily life problem-solving ability of nursing students, increase the theoretical and operational assessment results, and improve the satisfaction of internship.
