Application effect of clinical pathway teaching model in respiratory medicine nursing practice

Objective: To investigate the application effect of clinical pathway teaching model in respiratory medicine nursing practice. Methods: A total of 110 internship nursing students in our hospital were recruited and departed into two parts, 54 cases in the control group and 56 cases in the intervention group. The control group followed the traditional teaching model, while the intervention group received training based on the clinical pathway model, in which the students were involved into specifying the training plan and generating the sequence and timing of actions necessary to achieve goals. The examination, mutual behavior rating and total satisfaction from teachers, students and patients were compared between the two groups at the end of the internship time. Results: The score of theory and operation test results in intervention group were (94.41±3.00), (94.21±2.10), and they were higher than the ones in the control group (91.09±3.57), (91.91±3.52). It showed significant difference between the intervention group and the control group (u=741.0, P﹤0.0001; t=4.19, P﹤0.0001). The total satisfaction from
