To explore the influence of training mode based on core competence of nurses on comprehensive performance, critical thinking ability and clinical communication ability of nursing students.

A total of 102 Batch 2015 nursing students from the four-year program of Hubei University of Medicine who were interned in a "three A" general hospital in Shiyan City from May 2018 to January 2019 were selected as subjects, and were randomized into the control group (n=51) and the intervention group (n=51). The control group received traditional training mode and the intervention group adopted the training mode based on core competence of nurses. The two groups of nursing students were graded on the critical thinking scale and clinical communication ability scale before practice and at 2 months, 4 months, 8 months after intervention respectively. The comprehensive performance of two groups was assessed before and after 8 months of intervention. All data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0.

Comparison of effect, interaction effect, time effect of critical thinking scale and clinical communication ability scale between the two groups showed significant differences (P<0.05). The comprehensive performance differences between the two groups were statistically significant after the intervention (P<0.05).

The practice training mode based on core competence of nurses can effectively improve the comprehensive performance, critical thinking ability and clinical communication ability of nursing students.
