Objective:
To investigate the effect of CPBL (Problem Based Learning on Case) combined with SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation) mode in clinical teaching for nursing students.
Background:
Clinical internship training is the key step for the nursing education. The clinical thinking ability of Chinese nurses is mostly at the middle or low level. To improve clinical thinking ability, especially critical thinking, is of great significance to the nursing practice education.
Methods:
102 nursing students of the Third Xiangya Hospital, Central South University were selected as the participants from June 2018 to September 2019. We applied the CPBL + SBAR mode to the participants during the practice teaching, and conducted questionnaires and semi-structured interview pre- and post-intervention.
Results:
After intervention, the nursing students' scores of critical thinking ability (311.47 ± 22.67) were higher than those before intervention (289.75 ± 19.94); the total score (69.84 ± 6.217) and scores in four dimensions of positive problem orientation (RPO), negative problem orientation (NPO), avoidance style (AS) and impulse neglect style (ICS) were all lower than that before intervention (75.53 ± 6.09); the score of rational problem solving (RPS) (18.38 ± 2.714) was higher comparing to the that of pre-intervention (17.11 ± 2.20); the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The approval rate of nursing students to the positive effect of CPBL + SBAR teaching mode was from 78.43% to 93.13%. The semi-structured interview suggested that the model was worth promoting, but the implementation duration was limited.
Conclusion:
CPBL + SBAR teaching mode could improve the nursing students' critical thinking and problem-solving ability. The nursing students and teachers' satisfaction to the new teaching mode was high.
