Objective
To investigate the evaluation of nursing students on nurse teachers’ teaching quality between lessons ofBasic Nursing, in order to provide references for the improvement of teaching methods and promotion of teaching quality.
Methods
Questionnaire survey was used to investigate nurse students on the evaluation of nurse teachers’ teaching quality in three different clinical practice stages between lessons ofBasic Nursing. SPSS 19.0 statistical package was used to analyze the data.
Results
In the 5-point scale, the average score of all items was (4.72±0.38) points, and the average scores of three dimensions including timely project completion and gains in the practice, nurse teachers’ teaching, and teaching environment and resources were respectively (4.71±0.44), (4.76±0.35), and (4.66±0.52) points. The three items with the highest scores were teachers’ theoretical knowledge, teachers’ professional quality, and helping nurse students analyze existing problems; while the three with the lowest scores were teaching methods, timely completion of the practice, and participation by other nurses during the teaching. There were significant differences among the three stages in practice gains, reasonability of practice arrangement, instructing the students to solve problems, proficiency and standardization of the operation demonstration, basic theoretical knowledge, flexibility and enlightenment of the teaching methods, attitudes of the nurse teachers, participation by other nurses during the teaching, and head nurse’s support (P<0.05).
Conclusions
To improve the quality of clinical practice teaching, nurse teachers, other nurses in the ward, head nurse and the whole department should make collective effort. Nurse teachers should pay more attention to the improvement of teaching methods and reasonable planning of clinical practice.
