Abstract
With the rapid development of medical technology, the complexity and variability of critical and emergency diseases, and the upgraded demand for high-quality nursing services under the Healthy China strategy, the field of critical and emergency care has put forward higher requirements for practitioners’ clinical emergency response capabilities, comprehensive decision-making capabilities, and team collaboration capabilities. As an important link in cultivating high-quality nursing talents, the teaching quality of critical and emergency care directly affects the safety of medical treatment. However, the traditional teaching model has problems such as the disconnection between theory and clinical practice, which cannot meet the demands of nursing talent training in the new era. In this context, introducing the SSIS (Situation-Simulation-Information-System) teaching model and the 6E (Engage-Explore-Explain-Engineer-Elaborate-Evaluate) teaching framework helps mobilize students’ learning autonomy, thereby improving learning quality and effectiveness. Based on this, this paper deeply explores the SSIS + 6E teaching model, analyzes the current challenges in teaching, and further explores innovative paths to meet the needs of nursing talent training for reference.
