Methods: Retrospective analysis of data from 87 nursing staff members in Xi'an Qinhuang Hospital divided into control (n=43) and observation (n=44) groups. The control group received conventional training, while the observation group underwent blended learning. Comparative analysis included theoretical knowledge, practical skills, self-directed learning, critical thinking, and teaching satisfaction. Results: The observation group showed significantly higher theoretical knowledge, practical skills, self-directed learning, critical thinking, and teaching satisfaction compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Blended learning based on the ADDIE model enhances nursing staff training outcomes, improving theoretical knowledge, practical skills, self-directed learning, critical thinking, and teaching satisfaction. This approach presents a promising method for enhancing nursing education and warrants further implementation in clinical settings.
