Abstract
Objective: To explore the application effects of a web-based simulation in fundamental nursing course and innovate nursing teaching method.
Method: All students of grade 2017 majoring in nursing were selected through cluster sampling, with class-1 as the experimental group and class-2 as the control group. The simulation practice time of the two groups was 2 class hours, among which the control group received 2 class hours of traditional teaching practice using simulation model and the experimental group received 1 class hour of web-based simulation practice and 1 class hour of traditional teaching practice using simulation model. All participants were asked to complete two questionnaires and a test of operation of intramuscular injection after class, two questionnaires including the Chinese version of the Jeffries Simulation Design Scale and student behavior self-evaluation scale of nursing simulation teaching to measure the teaching design and their behavior.
Results: Simulation teaching design and students' self-evaluation scores show that students' scores in the control group are significantly higher than those in the experimental group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the performance of intramuscular injection between the two groups (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The application of the web-based simulation in operation practice class shortens the time for students to use simulation model for practicing and reduces the opportunity of students to operate, so the score of teaching design and self-evaluation is not high. However，as a transition tool of theoretical knowledge and simulation model practice, web-based simulation practice can be applied after class without limitation of time and space, enabling nursing students to get familiar with the operation process.
