Application of OSCE-based situational simulation case teaching in Nursing Fundamentals practical training / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the application effect of objective structured clinical examination (OSCE)-based situational simulation case teaching on Nursing Fundamentals practical training. Methods:Using convenient sampling method, two undergraduate nursing classes of Batch 2018 in Hubei University of Chinese Medicine were chosen as the study objects. They were divided into observation group with 45 students and control group with 43 students through ball touching method. The control group used traditional teaching method, on this basis, the observation group used OSCE-based situational simulation case teaching. At the end of the semester, the results of theoretical assessment, operational skills assessment, humanistic care, health education achievements of the two groups of nursing students and students’ evaluation of the new teaching method in the observation group. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test. Results:The sores of theoretical assessment, operational skills and humanistic care assessment in the observation group were (81.01±8.53), (92.69±3.87) and (11.73±1.59), and the corresponding sores in control group were (76.94±9.74), (91.21±2.70) and (10.79±1.36). The nursing students in the observation group had significantly higher scores than the control group in above mentioned aspects ( P<0.05). In the observation group, 45 students (100.0%) believed that this teaching method could stimulate learning interest and comprehensively deal with clinical problems, 43 students (95.6%) thought that this teaching method could improve team cooperation ability, only one person (2.2%) did not agree that this teaching method could help to form critical thinking, and 42 students (93.3%) said that the teaching hours of this teaching method could be appropriately increased. Conclusion:The OSCE-based situational simulation case teaching may effectively improve the teaching quality of the nursing students and mobilize their learning activities.
