ObjectiveTo understand the adaptation condition of undergraduate nursing students at the early stage of enrollment so as to provide reference frame for the development of college students' adaptability and mental health education.
MethodTotally 75 full-time baccalaureate nursing students were recruited from a comprehensive university by convenience sampling method In November 2014. Adaptation condition was investigated with China College Student Adjustment Scale (CCSAS). Statistical analysis methods were applied to analysis differences of the adaptability of college and its various dimensions scores in general data statistics.
ResultsThe average score of adaptation ability was (206.88±31.02) points. There were significant differences in the level of getting along with their parents and confidence in nursing speciality (P<0.05) , while no significant differences were found among students in gender, nationality, only China one students, students' regions and reasons of choosing nursing speciality （P>0.05) .
ConclusionsThe current adaptation situation of nursing undergraduates freshmen should be improved. It is necessary to carry out a series of targeted activities for the entrance education of college students to promote the adaptability of university life.
Objective To explore the role of using a workshop combined with diversified teaching model in undergraduate general practice. Methods Undergraduate students who enrolled in the Class 2022 general medicine course of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were selected between February and June 2023. Two classes were selected from undergraduate students who enrolled in the Class 2022 general medicine course using a simple random sampling method. One class was selected as the control group (using the workshop teaching mode), while the other class was selected as the experimental group (using the workshop combined with diversified teaching mode). The evaluation of teaching effect, teaching satisfaction, career intention and final scores of the control group and the experimental group were compared. Results A total of 120 students were included, with 60 students in each group. There was no statistically significant difference in the gender, age, and previous general medicine course exam scores between the two groups (P>0.05). The evaluation of teaching effect by the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The teaching satisfaction scores of the experimental group on teaching atmosphere (85.16±9.44 vs. 81.65±8.15), teaching mode (86.30±9.12 vs. 79.27±9.33), and teaching management (84.20±7.05 vs. 80.10±7.15) were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The experimental group had a higher career intention than the control group (45 vs. 32 people; χ2=6.125, P=0.013). The theoretical course scores (71.77±7.10 vs. 66.14±7.45), internship scores (10.32±3.34 vs. 8.58±2.56), and total scores (82.09±9.36 vs. 74.58±8.45) of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of workshop combined with diversified teaching mode in undergraduate general medicine course teaching can improve students’ evaluation of teaching effect, teaching satisfaction and final scores, as well as change students’ career intention.
Objective To identify the clinical evaluation methods used for undergraduate nursing students. Methods A self-made questionnaire about the clinical evaluation methods for undergraduate nursing students was used to collect information from 158 tutors of undergraduate nursing students in 4 teaching hospitals in Sichuan province. Results In terms of consulting evaluation opinion from other nurses, there was no significant difference between the ratios of tutors who really adopted and those who perceived as necessary to do so (Pgt;0.05). As for consulting the self-evaluation of nursing students and patients’ evaluation opinion, the ratio of tutors who really adopted was lower than those who perceived as necessary to do so (Plt;0.01). The majority of tutors used real, ward patients for evaluation, while a minority of tutors used demonstration room and model patients. The most effective methods viewed by the tutors were observation, holistic nursing care examination and test, and the most often used evaluation methods were clinical skill test, observation and theoretical exam. Most tutors adopted a continuous evaluation method for the clinical evaluation of undergraduate nursing students. Conclusion The methods for the clinical evaluation of undergraduate nursing students varies. This may influence the accuracy, objectivity and fairness of the evaluations. Formulating evaluation sheet of patients and self-evaluation sheet of nursing students, establishing standardized clinical skill examination station, training standardized patients and evaluation skills of clinical tutors, standardizing examination content and relevant evaluation standard and methods, and adopting comprehensive evaluation with various methods may help to improve the accuracy, objectivity and fairness of the clinical evaluation of undergraduate nursing students.
ObjectiveTo know the life attitude and its influence factors of nursing undergraduates in a school of nursing,so as to provide the theoretical evidence for the exploration of the way of life education.
MethodsA cluster sample of 246 nursing undergraduates were asked to complete the survey,who were sampled from grade 2008 to grade 2011 in a University of Sichuan province between Nevember and December 2011.Then we used the way of questionnaire to analyze and research the life attitude and its influence factors of nursing students,and this study mainly used the Life Attitude Scale (LAS) questionnaire which was made by Taiwan scholar Manying Xie.
ResultsThe total score of the investigated nursing students'attitude to life was 365.1±43.6,and the total and each level scores were higher than Taiwan college students and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01).Female students'total score of attitude to life and the existence sense dimension were significantly higher than male students'(P<0.05).The third grade students'score of love and care level had a significant difference with the second grade and the first grade students (P<0.05).Through correlation analysis,nursing students'life attitude and self-rating interpersonal relationship (r=0.256,P=0.000),the situation of families talking about death (r=0.210,P=0.001),whether there was a Dutch act idea (r=0.172,P=0.007),family income (r=0.151,P=0.017),gender (r=0.130,P=0.042) and whether had siblings (r=-0.143,P=0.025) were positively correlated.
ConclusionWe should carry out targeted life and death education for nursing students to promote them to establish positive life attitude and value.

We summarized some innovative teaching methods in the clinical intern period of the nursing undergraduate students in recent years, and analyzed the scientific base and advantages of each method, to provide a theoretical reference for the clinical teaching of undergraduate nursing practice.
Objective To evaluate the quality of undergraduate medical education so as to provide useful and effective feedback information for medical schools and to extend GMER (Global Minimum Essential Requirements in Medical Education) standard. Methods Through questionnaires, 205 resident doctors self-evaluated their abilities or qualities based on GMER standard. The unconditioned logistic regression model was used for data analysis. Results Graduates from undergraduate medical programs mastered the abilities or qualities required in 4 GMER domains i.e. “professional values, attitudes, behaviors and ethics”, “clinical skills”, “communication skills”, and “scientific foundation of medicine”. But the abilities or qualities required in “information management”, “population health and health systems” as well as “critical thinking and research” domains have not been obtained. The main factors that affected the evaluation results were corresponding training to the essentials, learner’s attitude, teaching models and teaching hours. Conclusion Educational sectors should adjust curriculum design so as to help medical students master the abilities required in the 3 domains stated above. Medical schools should conduct some educational research to formulate the most beneficial teaching methods, and import advanced ones to raise the quality of medical education in China.
