Abstract
Objective To explore the feasibility of the application of the problem-solving model to clinical teaching of undergraduate nursing students on nursing care of internal medicine. Methods Eighty-six undergraduate nursing students were randomly divided into control group (n = 42) and teaching group (n = 44). In the control group, the undergraduate nursing students were trained by means of the traditional clinical teaching method. In the teaching group, the undergraduate nursing students were educated according to the application of the problem-solving model. And the results of testing their theoretic knowledge, manipulation skills and the performance of holistic nursing care were compared between the two groups. Results All the observed and evaluated items' results in the teaching group were better than those in the control group. The differences between the two groups were significant (P0. 05 or P0. 01). Conclusion The problem-solving model is a feasible clinical teaching method and worthy of generalizing to the undergraduate nursing students.
