Application of visual mind mapping based on Mini-CEX evaluation in the practical teaching of nursing students in department of general surgery / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of visual mind mapping based on Mini-CEX evaluation combined with case-based learning (CBL) on improving the learning ability and teaching satisfaction of nursing students in department of general surgery.Methods:A total of 120 nurses rotating in the Department of General Surgery, Panzhihua Central Hospital (Clinical Medical College of Panzhihua University) from September 2019 to July 2020 were selected as research objects, and randomly divided into a control group and a study group, with 60 nurses in each group. The control group used traditional teaching, and the study group used visual mind mapping based on Mini-CEX evaluation combined with CBL. After the training, the clinical comprehensive ability of the nurses was evaluated by theoretical and practical assessment, and the self-learning ability and teaching satisfaction of the nurses were analyzed through self-made questionnaire survey. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The theoretical and practical assessment scores of nursing students in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group[(95.01±3.52) vs. (83.26±4.05); (96.14±3.22) vs. (81.17±4.30)] ( P=0.001). Before the rotation training, there was no statistical difference between the study group and the control group in the scores of self-motivation beliefs, task analysis, self-monitoring and adjustment, and self-evaluation ( P>0.05). After the rotation training, the scores of above 4 aspects were significantly higher in study group than the control group ( P<0.05). The nurse trainees in the study group were significantly superior to those in control group in the following 7 aspects reasonable arrangement of the teaching plan, novelty of the teaching mode, improvement of clinical nursing skills, improvement of the nurse-patient communication ability, improvement of the emergency response ability, and overall teaching satisfaction ( P=0.001). Conclusion:Visual mind mapping based on Mini-CEX evaluation combined with CBL applied to clinical teaching training of nursing students in the department of general surgery can effectively improve the effectiveness of nursing teaching and teaching satisfaction, improve the learning ability of nurses, and improve the nursing level of nursing students in the department of general surgery.
