To investigate the effect of Rain Classroom and Presentation-Assimilation-Discussion (PAD) class blended learning mode on a surgical nursing course. In this retrospective study, a total of 212 nursing undergraduates of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities were selected as the research objects. There were 102 participants taking the traditional teaching model, assigned into the control group. The remaining 110 participants taking Rain Classroom and PAD class blended learning mode were assigned into the observation group. A questionnaire survey was conducted after the intervention. After the intervention, the comprehensive assessment score of the observation group was higher than the control group ((83.8 ± 2.64) vs. (81.71 ± 3.74), P = 0.01). The independent learning ability ((81.61 ± 12.04) vs. (77.46 ± 4.23), P = 0.001), and self-efficacy ((27.78 ± 4.18) vs. (26.39 ± 4.67), P = 0.023) were higher in the observation group than those in the control group. The course satisfaction of the observation group was higher than that in the control group (79.09% and 65.69%, P = 0.029). The blended mode of Rain Classroom with PAD class effectively improves teaching quality, academic performance, self-learning ability, self-efficacy of students, and increased students' satisfaction with teaching methods.
