Objective:To explore the application effect of Gibbs reflection cycle combined with KSR-CDIO model in geriatric nursing internship teaching.Methods:134 nursing students who interned in the geriatric department of The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from July 2020 to December 2023 were selected as the observation subjects. According to the order of internship, they were divided into a control group (traditional teaching, n=67) and an observation group (Gibbs reflection cycle combined with KSR-CDIO mode teaching, n=67). Compare the theoretical and operational assessment scores, self-directed learning ability, critical thinking attitude, and post teaching satisfaction evaluation of two groups before and after teaching. Perform t-test and chi square test using SPSS 25.0. Results:After teaching, the observation group's theoretical (89.65±8.93) and operational assessment scores (85.66±8.42) were higher than those of the control group (74.89±7.22; 71.21 ±6.83), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). After teaching, both groups showed an increase in self-directed learning scores. The observation group of nursing students showed improvement in learning awareness [(30.53±7.12) vs. (27.66±6.50)] and learning strategies (30.96±7.33) vs (26.85±6.34) and learning behavior (31.24±7.63) vs. (27.80±6.54) were higher than those in the control group; The comparison of interpersonal skills scores between two groups of nursing students before and after teaching showed no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). After teaching, both groups showed an improvement in critical thinking ability, with the observation group being higher than the control group ( P<0.05). The recognition of teaching content richness (95.52% vs. 67.16%), practicality (97.01% vs. 67.16%), depth appropriateness (94.02% vs. 62.68%), and inspiration (95.52% vs. 64.17%) by the observation group of nursing students was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05); There was no statistically significant difference in satisfaction with teacher ethics ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The combination of KSR-CDIO and Gibbs reflection cycle model in elderly care internship teaching aids has a good application effect, which can improve students' practical ability and self-directed learning ability, and have a positive effect on cultivating critical thinking attitudes among nursing students.
