Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the learning styles of intensive care specialist nurses and to explore the application effects of the teaching method based on Kolb's learning style theory in intensive care specialist nurse training.Methods:Nurses who participated in the intensive care specialist nurse training in Chongqing during 2022 and 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Among them, the 49 nurses from 2022 were assigned to the control group, while the 50 nurses from 2023 were assigned to the experimental group. Before the training, the Kolb's Learning Style Scale was used to investigate the two groups of nurses. A new training method based on different learning styles was used in the experimental group, while the conventional training method was used in the control group. The theory, clinical practice, and satisfaction scores were compared between the two groups after training. SPSS 21.0 was used for the t-test, chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test. Results:The learning styles of the two groups were similar, with the highest proportion observed in divergent type, followed by assimilation type, and the lowest proportions in convergent type and compliant type, albeit without significant differences. The experimental group showed higher scores of theory, clinical practice, and satisfaction compared to the control group [(77.20±8.34) vs. (80.38±5.50), t=-2.24, P=0.027; (93.73±1.83) vs. (95.31±1.07), t=-5.20, P<0.001; (20.57±2.09) vs. (22.62±1.61), t=-5.46, P<0.001] Conclusion:The teaching method based on Kolb's learning style theory can improve the theory and clinical practice scores and the overall satisfaction of nurses who participate in the intensive care specialist nurse training.
