Innovating transfusion training: a BOPPPS-based blended learning model to enhance nursing interns' specialized...

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Clinical Skills Training
• Medical Simulation

Background:

• Traditional nursing internships often lack structured transfusion skills training.
• Inconsistent guidance leads to inadequate self-directed learning (SDL) and knowledge gaps.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate a blended specialty training program using the BOPPPS framework for nursing interns' transfusion skills.
• To compare the effectiveness of this new model against traditional training methods.

Main Methods:

• A quasi-experimental study involved 78 nursing interns, divided into control and experimental groups.
• The experimental group received blended specialty training (BOPPPS framework); the control group received traditional training.
• Outcomes included theoretical knowledge, operational skills, and SDL abilities, assessed via questionnaires and skill evaluations.

Main Results:

• The experimental group showed significantly higher scores in theoretical knowledge (p=0.010) and SDL abilities (p<0.001).
• No significant difference was found in transfusion operational skills between groups (p=0.160).
• Qualitative data revealed perceived learning benefits and competence improvements.

Conclusions:

• The BOPPPS-based blended training model effectively enhances nursing interns' transfusion knowledge and SDL.
• This structured, replicable model addresses educational gaps in high-risk clinical practice training.
• It promotes consistent, high-quality clinical competency development for nursing interns.
