Application of Microteaching Combined with Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Teaching Model in Teaching Clinical Nursing Interns in Otorhinolaryngology Department

Abstract

Objective: To explore the application effect of microteaching combined with problem-based learning (PBL) teaching mode in teaching clinical nursing interns in otorhinolaryngology department. Methods: A total of 72 nursing students who interned in our hospital from June 2022 to February 2023 were selected, and all of them were comprehensively trained in basic theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills before the beginning of their learning tasks. The students were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group, with 36 students in each group. The control group was taught using the traditional clinical nursing teaching mode, and the experimental group was taught using microteaching combined with the PBL teaching mode, subsequently comparing the differences between the two groups of interns in the degree of mastery of theoretical knowledge, hands-on skills, teamwork ability, patient satisfaction, and other aspects. Results: In terms of mastery of theoretical knowledge, the interns in the experimental group (97.22%) were significantly better than that of the control group (75.00%) (P < 0.05); the interns in the experimental group had significantly better practical skills (77.78%) than that of the control group (55.56%) (P < 0.05); the interns in the experimental group had significantly better teamwork ability than the control group (P < 0.05); through the questionnaire survey, it was found that students’ satisfaction with teaching in the experimental group (97.22%) was also significantly higher than that in the control group (75.00%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of microteaching combined with PBL teaching mode in the teaching of clinical nursing interns in otorhinolaryngology department achieved significant results. It can not only improve the professional knowledge and application ability of nursing students, but also cultivate their independent thinking, problem-solving skill, as well as teamwork ability. It can also improve the teaching quality and patient satisfaction, and contribute positively to the development of medical education.
