Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the unique teaching methods which watch the multiple patterns of wrapping the cuff.
Methods
The objects were 24 student nurses. They were divided into group A and B, and both groups took the lecture and seminor in each program. We made a video material for the group A, which was based on skills of experienced nurses. It enabled for the group A to watch the multiple patterns of wrapping the cuff. And then, we took picture of the motions of wrapping the cuff practiced by 24 student nurses in digital video camera.
Results and Discussion
There was no difference between two groups in accuracy of the position of the cuff. But the group A took significantly shorter time in motien compared to group B. In addition, many students of the group A were able to wrap the cuff at the first attempt without leaving their hands from the cuff.
The unique video materials enabled for the students to learn multiple patterns of wrapping the cuff. Therefore, the group A could have a variety of patterns to imitate. It was suggested that the group A could learn the wrapping motion of the cuff in a shorter period of time than the group B.
