Abstract: Objective   To explore the application effect of blended teaching mode combining online animation video learning with offline bedside teaching in pediatric nursing clinical key technology teaching. Methods   137 pediatric nursing interns in a tertiary hospital were recruited form June, 2019 to December, 2019, and were divided into the experimental group(n=72) and control group(n=65). The animation-based blended learning mode was used in the experimental group, while traditional learning method was used in the control group. The differences of test scores (theory + skills), scores of nursing interns core competency evaluation scale and scores of teaching satisfaction evaluation scale were compared between the two groups to analyze the application effect.Results   The theoretical test scores, skill test scores and total scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The total core competency scale scores and its three subscales in the experimental group were respectively higher than those in the control group, with statistical significance(P<0.05). The overall teaching satisfaction score of the experimental group and the control group reached the good standard. Conclusion   The blended teaching mode based on animation video improves the pediatric nursing performance of nursing interns, helps to enhance their core nursing competence, and is accepted and recognized by pediatric practice nurses, and the teaching satisfaction evaluation is good.
