Application of OTD in vascular surgery nursing intern teaching under the guidance of POGIL theory
Objective To explore the application of observation teaching discussion(OTD)in vascular surgery nursing intern teaching under the guidance of process-oriented guided inquiry learning(POGIL)theory.Methods Forty nursing students who were doing their internship in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from July 2022 to July 2023 were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table:control group(20 students,OTD teaching)and observation group(20 students,POGIL theory-guided teaching).The two groups were compared for competence assessment scores before entering the department and 3 days prior to departure from the department,autonomous learning ability scale scores,Competency Inventory for Registered Nurses(CIRN)scores,and Chinese Problem Solving Inventory(CPSI)scores.T-tests and chi-square tests were conducted using SPSS 22.0.Results Three days prior to departure from the department,the theoretical performance and practical performance were significantly better in the observation group[(91.67±5.22)and(89.69±4.36)points,respectively]than in the control group[(84.53±4.75)and(82.41±4.18)points,respectively](P<0.05).The observation group also performed significantly better than the control group in autonomous learning ability scale score[(139.52±13.52)vs.(128.86±10.76)],CIRN score[(207.73±6.23)vs.(195.67±5.98)],and CPSI score[(103.60±4.72)vs.(92.18±5.03)](all P<0.05).Conclusions The application of OTD in vascular surgery nursing intern teaching under the guidance of POGIL theory can improve the autonomous learning ability,core ability,and problem-solving ability of nursing interns.
