Abstract: Objective: To explore the effect of mind map based on case analysis in emergency nursing teaching among undergraduate nursing interns. Methods: By using the random sampling method, 30 undergraduate nursing interns of a tertiary grade A hospital in Changsha in 2017 were selected as the small-scope teaching pilot. Mind map based on case analysis was adopted to carry out 3 sessions of intensive training in emergency nursing teaching. Theoretical assessment, teaching quality satisfaction and reflective diary were used to evaluate the teaching effect. Results: After intensive training, theoretical examination scores of undergraduate nursing interns were significantly higher than those before training (P<0.01). Satisfaction scores of teaching process, teaching method, teaching effect and teaching content were 24.60±0.81, 24.57±0.82, 24.53±0.73, 24.33±0.99, respectively. Four main points were extracted, including easy to understand, helpful to master knowledge systematically, a sense of accomplishment, great challenge. Conclusion: In emergency nursing teaching among undergraduate nursing interns, mind map based on case analysis is helpful to improve theoretical achievements, promote satisfaction of teaching quality and the teaching effect.
