Construction and application of teaching model of nursing ethics based on transformative learning theory
Objective To construct a teaching model of nursing ethics based on transformative learning theory,and explore its application effect in vocational nursing students.Methods Through literature review,brainstorming,and applicability evaluation,a teaching model of nursing ethics was constructed,including two-way role conversion between teachers and nursing students,sharing and equal dialogue,classroom debate teaching,real case discussion,and innovative evaluation methods.A total of 46 vocational nursing students from grade 2020 and grade 2021 in the First Clinical Medical College of Capital Medical University were selected as the research objects,with 22 vocational nursing students from grade 2020 as the control group and 24 vocational nursing students from grade 2021 as the ob-servation group.The control group was given the traditional teaching model of nursing ethics,while the observation group was given the nursing ethics teaching model based on transformative learning theory on the basis of the control group.After 6 months of nursing ethics teaching,the critical thinking ability and nursing professional values of nurs-ing students between 2 groups were compared by Critical Thinking Questionnaire-Chinese version(CTDI-CV)and Nursing Professional Values Scale(NPVS-R).Before the first class,after the last class,and half a year after the course,the critical thinking ability and nursing professional values of nursing students in the observation group were compared longitudinally.Results Half a year after the teaching of nursing ethics,the scores of CTDI-CV and NPVS-R of nursing students in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The longitudinal comparison of nursing students in the observa-tion group showed that the scores of CTDI-CV and NPVS-R after the end of the last class and half a year after the course were significantly higher than those before the beginning of the course(P<0.05),and there was no statistical significance between after the end of the last class and half a year after the course(P>0.05).Conclusion The appli-cation of nursing ethics teaching model based on transformational learning theory in the teaching of nursing ethics can stimulate the learning enthusiasm of nursing students,improve their critical thinking ability,and promote their rec-ognition of nursing professional values.
