title: Nursing students' satisfaction with bilingual teaching in nursing courses in China: A meta-analysis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this meta-analysis is to systematically evaluate nursing students' satisfaction with the textbooks, teachers, teaching methods and overall teaching result in nursing bilingual teaching in China.
  
  
  METHODS
  The relevant cross-sectional studies were retrieved from multiple electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Chinese BioMed Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and WanFang Database from inception to August 2015. Studies that measured students' satisfaction with textbooks, teachers, teaching methods, overall teaching result in nursing bilingual teaching in China as outcomes were included. The data were independently extracted using a standardized form and analyzed by STATA (version12.0).
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of thirty-four studies, including 3533 nursing students, were eligible for inclusion in the review. Meta-analyses revealed that nursing students' satisfaction rate of textbooks was 64%, 95%CI (46%, 82%), teachers' teaching attitude was 88%, 95%CI (84%, 92%), teachers' oral expression was 60%, 95%CI (38%, 81%), teachers' pronunciation was 90%, 95%CI (86%, 94%), teachers' teaching ability was 71%, 95%CI (60%, 82%), teaching methods was 69%, 95%CI (52%, 86%) and overall teaching result was 80%, 95%CI (68%, 92%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results show that nursing students' satisfaction with the textbooks, teachers, teaching methods and overall teaching result is not high in nursing bilingual teaching in China. These findings suggest that future directions for improving bilingual teaching in China include establishing suitable bilingual teaching material, training teaching faculty members and adopting proper teaching methods.
