Abstract:

Objective To explore the effects of applying Ideological and Political Theory Education based on the Book of Filial Piety in Geriatric Nursing in a secondary vocational school. Methods A total of 532 secondary vocational nursing students admitted in 2017 were assigned to the experimental group and another 489 students admitted in 2016 were assigned to the control group. Students in the experimental group received Ideological and Political Theory Education based on the Book of Filial Piety in Geriatric Nursing and students in the control group received the routine education. The scores of Kogan’s Attitude Toward Older People Scale(KAOP),the knowledge of geriatric nursing and the intention of providing care to older adults were evaluated and compared when the course was finished. Results After the course was finished,the scores of KAOP and the knowledge of geriatric nursing in the experimental group were all better than those of students in the control group(P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the intention of providing care to older adults(P>0.05) Conclusion The application of the Ideological and Political Theory Education based on the Book of Filial Piety in senior nursing teaching in secondary vocational school has a good effect. It can achieve the curriculum goal of combining knowledge teaching and value guidance,and help to improve the attitude of senior nursing students.
