Objective To explore the teaching effectiveness of an integrated teaching model in geriatric nursing skills training for nursing students. Methods Students who received traditional clinical skills teaching methods were assigned to the control group, while those who underwent the integrated teaching model were assigned to the observation group. Teaching outcomes were evaluated through a survey on the practical application of clinical teaching methods in geriatric nursing, along with assessments of foundational theoretical knowledge, theoretical examination scores, and practical skills examination scores in geriatric nursing. Results Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in foundational theoretical knowledge (P<0.05), theoretical examination scores (P<0.05), and practical skills examination scores (P<0.05) in geriatric nursing. Conclusion The integration of teaching methods for geriatric nursing skills provides a valuable reference for clinical skills education in geriatric nursing within general hospitals. This approach demonstrates potential for enhancing both theoretical understanding and practical competency among nursing students.
