Construction and application of pre-job training program for new nurses based on transformative learning / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To construct a new nurse pre-job training program based on transformative learning and explore its preliminary application effect.Methods:A quasi-experimental study was conducted, and 52 new nurses enrolled in 2019 in a three-A hospital of Hangzhou were randomly divided into experimental group ( n=26) and control group ( n=26). The experimental group adopted transformative learning based pre-job training program for new nurses, while the control group adopted traditional pre-job training program for new nurses. SPSS 20.0 and Microsoft Excel 2010 were performed for data processing, and t test and Fisher's exact probability test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After the training, the comparison of two groups of new nurses showed that, the total score of clinical core competence of the experimental group (226.62±32.84) was higher than that of the control group (197.00±29.54), the total score of self-efficacy of the experimental group (28.46±4.94) was higher than that of the control group (24.31±4.76), the total score of the transition shock of the experimental group (77.23±14.13) was lower than that of the control group (91.27±17.98), and the mean value of clinical assessment of the experimental group (73.16±17.05) was higher than that of the control group (61.58±14.24), all with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The pre-job training program for new nurses based on transformative learning can improve the clinical ability and self-efficacy of new nurses, reduce the transition shock of new nurses, and have a profound impact on their career.
