Application of TPS combined with microlecture teaching model in nursing teaching of general surgery
Objective To study the effects of applying the think-pair-share(TPS)method combined with the microlecture teaching model in nursing teaching of general surgery.Methods We assigned 48 nursing students interning in the department of general surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from August 2020 to August 2021 into control group to receive traditional teaching and 48 nursing students who interned from September 2021 to August 2022 into observation group to receive TPS+microlecture teaching.The two groups were compared in terms of test results,critical thinking abilities,post competencies,and satisfaction with teaching.SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t test and chi-square test.Results The observation group showed a significantly higher theoretical score[(93.21±4.34)vs.(88.65±3.69)],a significantly higher basic nursing skills score[(94.21±3.85)vs.(89.45±5.47)],and a significantly higher specialized skills score[(90.76±4.59)vs.(88.96±3.63)]than the control group(P<0.05).The total score of the critical thinking ability scale and the scores of individual dimensions were significantly increased after training for both groups,and all the scores were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).Both groups had significant improvements in the total and individual scores of post competencies after training,and the observation group had significantly higher scores than the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the observation group had significantly higher proportions of students feeling satisfied with teaching,in terms of all evaluation items and also overall(P<0.05).Conclusions Applying the TPS+microlecture teaching model in general surgery nursing teaching can help nursing students improve theoretical and practical levels,critical thinking abilities,and post competencies,also with a high level of satisfaction with teaching.
