Methods:
Using stratified cluster randomization, 82 clinical interns from a tertiary hospital were allocated to either: Observation group (n = 42) received biweekly narrative teaching sessions incorporating storytelling, role-playing, reflective writing, and clinical application cycles. Control group (n = 40) standard one-on-one apprenticeship training. Post-intervention evaluations utilized the Nurse Professional Identity Scale, the Nursing Intern Core Competency Scale, and a custom teaching evaluation form.
Results:
The observation group significantly outperformed the control group in professional identity and core competency dimensions (P < 0.001), with notable improvements in personal traits and clinical skills. They also excelled in learning interest, teamwork, and clinical thinking (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Narrative-based teaching enhances vocational nursing students' professional identity, competencies, and internship quality, offering a valuable model for emotional and professional development.
