Abstract:

Objective To explore the application effects of “shadow” experience activities in teaching of nursing interns in the orthopedic department. Methods A total of 102 nursing interns practicing in a tertiary hospital from August to December 2020 were recruited and divided into the control group and the experimental group randomly. Students in the control group received the routine teaching. Students in the experimental group received“shadow”experience activity including training,demonstration and perception;following,experiencing and transposition;sharing,reflection and internalization;and feedback and assessment on every week. After the teaching,students’ clinical comprehensive ability,examination performance,and skills assessment were compared between the two groups. Results The score of the Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise in the experimental group was（7.68±0.84）,and the control group was（7.04±1.28）. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant（t=2.995,P=0.004）. The examination performance and skill assessment of students in the experimental group were all better than those of students in the control group（P<0.05）. Conclusion The “shadow” experience activities used in the teaching of nursing interns in orthopedic department can improve the clinical comprehensive ability,examination performance and skills of nursing students.
