To address the issues of disconnection between traditional textbooks and clinical practice in the "Surgical Nursing" course in higher vocational education, as well as the severe disciplinary orientation, and to achieve the integration of "job, course, competition, and certificate" in a four-dimensional approach, a modularized curriculum system driven by typical tasks and centered on professional capabilities was constructed. The teaching reform of the "Surgical Nursing" course was based on job task analysis, combined with expert interview opinions, and in line with the policy orientation of national vocational education reform. The course textbook content was restructured and designed into three progressive modules of "perioperative nursing - specialized nursing for surgical diseases - critical care for surgical emergencies", with 9 projects and 20 learning tasks under them. This modularized restructuring of the course, guided by the vocational education's competency-based approach, provides a replicable model for the teaching reform and textbook construction of nursing professional courses.
