Abstract: Objective: To explore the application effect of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in the standardized training of newly hired nurses in Traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals, so as to effectively evaluate the comprehensive nursing ability of nurses in Traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals. Methods: A total of 46 newly hired nurses from a tertiary grade A Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Beijing in September 2020 were selected as the control group and 45 newly hired nurses in September 2021 as the experimental group by convenience sampling method. The assessment time of both groups is the completion assessment after completing two years of standardized training. The control group was evaluated by traditional assessment mode, while the experimental group was evaluated by OSCE assessment mode. The scores of the two groups were compared, as well as their overall ability evaluation. The satisfaction of the experimental participants and the examiners with the OSCE assessment mode was also evaluated. Results: The comprehensive ability evaluation of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, and the assessment scores of syndrome differentiation nursing and syndrome differentiation teaching of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The satisfaction of the participants in the experimental group with the OSCE assessment mode was 96.2%, and the satisfaction of the examiners was 92.9%. Conclusion: The OSCE can fully evaluate the clinical nursing ability of newly hired nurses in Traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals, and reflect the deficiencies in the training process, so as to provide a reference for optimizing the training of newly hired nurses in Traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals.
