The effects of Roy’s adaptation model and the forgetting curve in the clinical instruction of operating room nursing interns

摘要

Objective: To investigate the effects of Roy’s adaptation model combined with the forgetting curve in the clinical instruction of operating room nursing interns. Methods: 115 nursing students in our hospital were randomized and allocated into two groups: the observation group (n=60) and the control group (n=55). The control group underwent the traditional nursing instruction method, and the observation group underwent a new instruction mode guided by Roy’s adaptation model combined with the forgetting curve method. The learning effects of the two groups of nursing students and their satisfaction with the nursing instruction were compared. Results: The observation group’s theoretical examination score was (96.18±3.94) points, and the group’s skill examination score was (83.78±5.19) points, which were higher than the corresponding scores in the control group (83.78±5.19) and (81.32±3.66), with statistical significance (all P<0.05). The operating doctors’ scores on the operating room nursing students’ psychological adaptability in the operating room, their proficiency in common operation cooperation, their aseptic concepts, their ability to prepare and dispose of instruments and articles, and their work and learning initiatives were significantly higher than they were in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The nursing students’ professional level, interpersonal communication ability, and teaching ability scores and their total score in the observation group were significantly higher than they were in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The new instruction method which combines Roy’s adaptation model with the forgetting curve can not only effectively improve the nursing students’ learning abilities and adaptability, but it also has an important significance in improving the relationship between doctors and nurses, the instruction relationship, and in improving the quality of the nursing instruction and the comprehensive ability of the nursing staff in the operating room.
