Integrated lecturing within clerkship course, a new learning method in nurse-anesthesia teaching

摘要

Background and purpose: The conventional lecture-based teaching method that has been used to transitudtheoretical knowledge to the participants is inadequate. Due to some issues with this didactic approach,udit is believed that integration of this approach with an active method may be more valuable in nursingudeducation. In this study, we hypothesized that integrating lecture-based teaching within clerkship courseudwould enhance the knowledge of nurse-anesthesia students.udMethods: This prospective randomized study was conducted on 24 students of second-year nurseanesthesiaudcourse. All students received either didactic lectures or integrated lectures within theudclerkship course during a 4-month semester of their educational curriculum. Their knowledge ofudanesthesia course was assessed at the end of the course using the Wilcoxon Rank test.udResults: The adopted integrated method improved the students’ final scores at the end of the semesterud(p=0.004). Moreover, their scores were much improved in taxonomy-2 questions (p=0.001).udConclusions: Incorporating a didactic lecture approach within anesthesia clerkship course improves theudknowledge of the participants in the anesthesia course.
