The Application of Scenario Simulation Teaching Combined with Case Teaching in Medical Education: Taking Nursing Practice Teaching as An Example

Objective: This study aims to investigate the application effect of scenario simulation teaching combined with case teaching method in nursing practice teaching, and compare it with traditional nursing practice teaching. Methods: One hundred nursing students from a university in 2019 were selected as the research subjects, and were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 50 students in each group. The experimental group received nursing practice teaching using scenario simulation teaching combined with case teaching method, while the control group received traditional nursing practice teaching. The effectiveness of the two teaching methods was evaluated through examination scores, clinical competency assessment, non-technical skill level comparison, and student satisfaction survey. Results: The students in the experimental group performed better than those in the control group in terms of examination scores, clinical competency assessment, non-technical skill level, and student satisfaction. Specifically, the excellent rate and passing rate of the examination scores and clinical competency assessment of the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05); after the teaching, the non-technical skill level scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05); the satisfaction ratings of the experimental group on teaching content, teaching methods, teaching environment, teacher’s teaching style, and teaching resources were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Scenario simulation teaching combined with case teaching method has good application effect in nursing practice teaching, which can effectively improve students’ learning performance and clinical competency assessment scores, enhance students’ understanding and application ability of teaching content, and increase students’ learning interest and participation.
