Abstract :
88 Nursing students were selected as the study objects and randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The students in the experimental group were taught with SimMan universal patient simulator and the students in the control group were taught with the traditional experimental teaching method. The results showed that the average score of the students in the theoretical examination was significantly higher in the experimental group than that in the control group, and the excellent rate of students in the experimental skill examination was significantly higher in the experimental group than that in the control group. (p<;0.05) This fully confirms the application of SimMan in the nursing education in internal medicine is characterized by the advantages of time-saving, and obvious efficiency, demonstrating that the teaching method with SimMan in medical nursing is better than other methods available at present.
