Abstract: Objective To explore online teaching strategies based on the QAIT model of effective teaching during the response to COVID-19 epidemic and put forward some suggestions for the next stage of online teaching in pediatric nursing. Methods The online teaching strategies based on the effective QAIT model and the pediatric nursing syllabus were applied to 174 undergraduate nursing students from our nursing school for three weeks in the online theoretical teaching of pediatric nursing. At the end of each class, the data were exported to analyze the student achievements, preparation of class and classroom learning. Results The average score of each student in the 6 after-class tests was 9.10±0.80 points. The preview rate of reading the preview materials before 6 classes was 90.15%. The answer rate of the 6 preview tests was 89.75%. The average number of bullet screen sent per class was 196. The answer rate of the tests in 6 classes was 91.81%.Conclusion Online teaching strategies based on the QAIT model of effective teaching during the response to COVID-19 epidemic have obtained periodic achievements in pediatric nursing, but there are still problems that need to be continuously improved. New measures should be explored in the next phase of online teaching.
