Construction and Exploration of Hospice Care Curriculum for Nursing Medical Students

The nursing needs of end-stage patients in society make professional education in hospice care particularly important for nursing medical students. Hospice care not only requires nursing staff to possess clinical skills, but also profound humanistic care and interdisciplinary knowledge. Therefore, building an effective hospice care course is of great significance for cultivating nursing professionals who can meet the needs of modern society. This study adopted a comparative experimental method to compare the hospice care course with traditional nursing courses. The differences between the two courses were evaluated in four key indicators: degree of integration of subject content, frequency of interaction, test scores, and student satisfaction through quantitative and qualitative analysis. The experimental data was sourced from questionnaire surveys, classroom observations, and grade analysis, aiming to comprehensively evaluate the teaching effectiveness of the two course modes. The research results showed that the integration of hospice nursing courses was superior to traditional nursing courses in terms of subject content, reaching up to 95%, and can better integrate theoretical knowledge with clinical practice. The hospice care course utilized teaching methods such as group discussions and case analysis to maintain a student interaction frequency of 15 or more times. The analysis of test scores showed that students in hospice care courses performed better than traditional courses in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. In addition, a student satisfaction survey showed that the hospice care course received high praise from students, who believed that the course content was rich, and the teaching methods were interactive and had practical value.
