RESUMEN
Objective To explore the effect of flipped classroom on basic nursing operation training for undergraduate nursing students. Methods One hundred full-time nursing undergraduate students now conducting clinical internship in our hospital were randomized equally into experiment group and control group. The control group was treated with traditional teaching model in three nursing operation modules including intravenous infusion , venous blood collection and intramuscular injection while the teaching methodology of flipped classroom was used in the experiment group. The two groups were compared in terms of performances in theoretical knowledge and skills and the evaluation from the students. Results The achievements of the experiment group was significantly better than those of the control group in respect of achievements in the examinations of three theoretical knowledge and nursing operation skills (P<0.01). More than 88.00%nursing students agreed on the teaching mode in the aspects of learning attitude and knowledge mastering, more than 90.00%nursing students accepted this teaching mode in the aspect of ability and 96.00%of them would like to adopt this mode. Conclusions The methodology of flipped classroom is effective in cultivating the habit of nursing students′autonomous learning. It also stimulates the nursing students′interest in learning and improves the quality of teaching.
