Abstract: Objective To explore the application of situational teaching based on mobile teaching platforms in internal medicine nursing. Method A total of 378 second year nursing students in vocational colleges were randomly selected and divided into a control group and an intervention group. The control group used traditional teaching methods, while the intervention group selected appropriate content for situational teaching based on mobile teaching platforms. The results of the“nursing professional literacy assessment scale”of the research subjects before and after the teaching intervention were compared. The basic course scores of all nursing students before the intervention and the scores of the internal medicine nursing unified examination after the intervention were compared, and the nurse qualification examination pass rates of the two groups of students after the intervention were compared. Result There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of nursing professional competence and basic course scores before intervention (P>0.05), indicating comparability of the research subjects. After intervention, the intervention group students showed significant improvement in their humanistic literacy, professional interests, and professional abilities, with statistical significance (P<0.05). After intervention, the students in the intervention group showed a significant improvement in the unified examination scores of Internal Medicine Nursing compared to the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the pass rate of the nurse qualification exam between the two groups of students after intervention (P>0.05). Conclusion The situational teaching method based on mobile teaching platforms can improve the teaching effectiveness of internal medicine nursing for vocational nursing students.
