Objective To explore the application effect of the optimized teaching mode based on Nursing-Mini-CEX in the teaching of undergraduate nursing interns in the nephrology department. Methods Sixty undergraduate nursing interns who practiced in the nephrology department of our hospital from January 2024 to March 2025 were randomly and evenly divided into the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group adopted the optimized teaching mode based on Nursing-Mini-CEX, while the control group received conventional teaching. The comprehensive ability, teaching quality, and satisfaction of the two groups of interns were compared. Results The technical operation score of the experimental group was (95.62 ± 2.17) points and the theoretical knowledge score was (97.23 ± 3.04) points, which were significantly higher than those of the control group (84.03 ± 4.68) points and (89.16 ± 4.19) points (P < 0.05); the teaching quality score of the experimental group was (97.81 ± 1.05) points, which was higher than that of the control group (90.37 ± 2.14) points (P < 0.05); the satisfaction rate of the experimental group was 96.67%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (73.33%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of the optimized teaching mode based on Nursing-Mini-CEX in the teaching of undergraduate nursing interns in the nephrology department can significantly improve the assessment scores and satisfaction of the interns and enhance the teaching quality of nephrology nursing.
