Objective　To explore the effects of video teaching combined with scenario simulation teaching on the maintenance skills of peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) in nursing interns. Methods　A total of 70 nursing interns from June 2019 to March 2020 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into study group and control group

with 35 cases in each group. The control group was given scenario simulation teaching

and the research group was given scenario simulation combined with video teaching. The evaluation of interns in the two groups on the teaching mode (expanding learning ideas

and improving learning initiative

communication ability

learning efficiency and operation ability)

PICC catheter maintenance assessment results (theoretical scores

operational scores and comprehensive scores) and teaching satisfaction were compared between the two groups. SPSS 19.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results　The evaluation of the teaching mode in the research group was significantly better than that in the control group in terms of expanding learning ideas and improving learning initiative

communication ability

learning efficiency and operation ability (P<0.05); the theoretical scores

operational scores and comprehensive scores were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05); teaching satisfaction of the research group (91.43%) was significantly higher than that (68.57%) of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion　Video teaching combined with scenario simulation teaching in PICC maintenance skills training of nursing interns can effectively expand learning ideas and improve learning initiative

communication ability

learning efficiency

operation ability

examination results and teaching satisfaction.
