Application and evaluation of formative assessment combined with scenario simulation teaching in Emergency Nursing practical course / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the teaching effect of Emergency Nursing practice course using scenario simulation teaching combined with formative assessment. Methods:The subjects were selected from vocational nursing students of Batch 2015 (control group, n=49) and Batch 2016 (intervention group, n=40). The control group adopted the scenario simulation teaching method, and the intervention group added formative assessment on the basis of simulation teaching. The end-of-term theoretical scores of Emergency Nursing and the scores of students' general self-efficacy scale were used as evaluation tools. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for data processing and analysis. Results:The scores of the intervention group (85.20±8.05) were higher than those of the control group (79.73±8.46), with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The scores of self-efficacy in both groups were improved, while the scores of the control group after the course (2.68±0.42) were higher than those before the course (2.61±0.47), but there was no statistical significance. The scores of the intervention group after the course (2.78±0.43) were higher than those before the course (2.62±0.43), with statistical significance. Conclusion:The application of scenario simulation teaching combined with formative assessment in the practical course of Emergency Nursing can be helpful to improve students' self-efficacy and comprehensive ability of first aid.
