Purpose: To explore the effect of case teaching method based on ADDIE model in the teaching of surgical nursing. Methods: Two classes of the four-year nursing specialty college students in the third grade were selected as samples. According to the principle of randomization

one class was set as the observation group

the ADDIE model based case teaching method was adopted

and the other class was set as the control group. The results of the two teaching methods are compared with the control group. Results: Based on the ADDIE model

the effect of the two teaching methods is compared with the control group with P <0.01. Conclusion: The application of case teaching method can effectively improve the students understanding and application of professional knowledge and cultivate students ability to analyze and solve problems independently

so that students can better combine professional theory knowledge with actual cases to lay a good foundation for clinical work and effectively improve the nursing professional course teaching quality and teaching effect.
