Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of the demand-oriented interprofessional nursing education curriculum in the early clinical contact for medical students. Methods Cluster sampling method was used in the study. A total of 115 eight-year program clinical medicine students enrolled in 2017 and 2018 who entered Peking Union Medical College Hospital for the first time to participate in the clinical early contact course were selected as the research objects. Among them, 70 students in the class of 2018 were set as the experimental group, and 45 students in the class of 2017 were set as the control group. The experimental group was demand-oriented to design and apply the curriculum content and teaching method of early contact nursing course, while the control group adopted the conventional teaching method. At the end of the course, students' understanding of the course, degree of recognition, degree of satisfaction and readiness for cross-major learning were taken as the assessment indicators. Data were analyzed by t-test and chi-square test. Results Compared with the control group, the students in the experimental group had higher degree of recognition for the course [(3.63±0.78) vs. (3.11±0.83)] and satisfaction [(13.59±1.48) vs. (11.29±2.36)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The total scores of team collaboration [(53.49±5.30) vs. (50.78±4.98)], patient-centered [(22.90±2.11) vs. (22.07±2.11)] and interprofessional learning readiness [(93.31±7.58) vs. (88.62±4.83)] in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, all with statistical significance (all P <0.05). Conclusions Promoting demand-oriented early contact nursing course in the early clinical contact stage of medical students can fully improve students' recognition and satisfaction of the course, improve medical students' teamwork and empathy ability, and facilitate the clinical application of early contact for medical students.
