Abstract
Aim
To investigate the effectiveness of integrating evidence-based teaching (EBT) with the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) model in urology nursing clinical practice.
Background
Technological advances in urology have raised higher requirements for nursing interns regarding clinical proficiency and critical thinking. Traditional pedagogical approaches are inadequate for contemporary nursing training. EBT fosters learners’ competence in evidence-based practice (EBP), whereas the CDIO framework integrates theoretical knowledge with clinical practice. Nevertheless, relevant empirical research on its combined application remains insufficient.
Design
Historical controlled study.
Methods
The control group (n = 184) received traditional teaching between September 2024 and March 2025, whereas the observation group (n = 152) adopted the EBT-CDIO model from September 2025 to March 2026. Assessments included theoretical and practical skill scores, along with comprehensive capabilities in EBP, self-directed learning and critical thinking.
Results
The observation group achieved significantly higher scores than the control group (P < 0.001) in theoretical evaluation, operational performance, EBP, self-directed learning and critical thinking.
Conclusions
Integrated EBT-CDIO teaching was associated with higher theoretical and operational scores among nursing interns and correlated with better development of core competencies including evidence-based practice, self-directed learning and critical thinking.
期刊介绍:
Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
