Establishment of the clinical practice teaching protocol for nursing undergraduates in midwifery / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish the clinical practice teaching protocol for nursing undergraduates in midwifery for the purpose to improve the clinical teaching efficiency.Methods:Under the guidance of the core competency index system of midwives established by Lu Hong, based on the literature review and focused group interviews, the preliminary clinical practice teaching protocol was developed by using the Competency Outcomes and Performance Assessment (COPA) model. The clinical practice teaching protocol was improved and finalized through the expert meeting.Results:The teaching objective of the clinical practice teaching protocol was confirmed, and four practical teaching blocks were formed comprehensive professional skill training, prenatal care, intrapartum care (including neonatal care), postpartum care (including neonatal care and women's health care). Among them, comprehensive professional skill training ran throughout the whole practice teaching process, and the proportions of practice time in the other sections were 25%, 55% and 20% respectively(practice time of each section/whole practice time). The core elements of teaching project included core competency, teaching content, teaching method, practice quantity requirement, assessment method and major practice place.Conclusion:The construction process of the clinical practice teaching protocol was prudent and reasonable. The protocol could reflect the core competency of midwives and the characteristics of midwifery. It could also fit the current situation of midwifery practice, with good operability and easy implementation.
