Application of Participatory Teaching in Operating Room Nursing and Evaluation of Its Effectiveness

Abstract

To study the application and effects of participatory teaching in perioperative nursing. Methods: Sixty interns in the operating room nursing department of our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected. They were randomly divided into a control group (n=30) and an observation group (n=30). The control group received traditional teaching methods, while the observation group received participatory teaching methods. The theoretical and practical scores of the nursing interns in both groups were compared. The nursing quality scores, team cohesion scores, critical thinking ability scores, and satisfaction with teaching were evaluated before and after the teaching intervention. The theoretical and practical scores of the nursing interns in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Before the teaching intervention, there was no significant difference in nursing quality scores between the two groups (P>0.05). However, after the teaching intervention, the nursing quality scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Similarly, the observation group had higher team cohesion scores and critical thinking ability scores compared to the control group after the teaching intervention (P<0.05). The satisfaction with teaching was also higher in the observation group compared to the control group (P<0.05). The application of participatory teaching in perioperative nursing education can improve nursing quality, promote team cohesion, enhance critical thinking ability, and increase satisfaction with teaching. It is worth promoting and implementing in the field of perioperative nursing.
