Analysis of the Application Effect of Case Discussion Method in Obstetric Nursing Education

This study aims to analyze the application effect of the case discussion method in obstetric nursing education. Thirty nursing students admitted to the obstetrics department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2022 to June 2024 were selected as research subjects. A retrospective analysis was conducted, with groups divided based on teaching methods: the control group (receiving conventional teaching methods) and the observation group (receiving conventional teaching methods + case discussion method). The comprehensive abilities in obstetric nursing, learning enthusiasm, and satisfaction with teaching were analyzed between the two groups. The results showed that after teaching, the scores for nursing problem analysis, service awareness, nursing assessment, nursing operations, and emergency nursing event handling were higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Additionally, the observation group demonstrated higher learning enthusiasm, subjective efficacy rate, satisfaction with teaching activities, and satisfaction with instructors compared to the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, the application of the case discussion method in obstetric nursing education yielded ideal results, significantly enhancing nursing students' comprehensive nursing abilities and learning enthusiasm, as well as improving their satisfaction with teaching.
