Study on the experience of nurses in the operating room of general hospitals

Objective To describe the experience of nurses in general hospital operating room for specialist management. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 226 operating room nurses using the questionnaire of specialist nurses' work obstruction factors. Eighteen of the operating room nurses were interviewed by phenomenological research methods in qualitative research. Results The obstacles to the professional management of nurses in the operating room were mainly reflected in the difficulty of doing only the work of specialist nurses (96.46%,218/226), "there is no clear role positioning (93.81%, 212/226)", and "responsible for the work of several departments(89.82%, 203/226)." The refinement and analysis of the interview data showed that the management of specialist equipment could not be arranged and managed in a coordinated manner; the surgeons were over-reliant on the specialist nurses; the problem of setting up the positions of the senior nurses was outstanding; the nurses who were not the specialists have insufficient competence. With the sense of belonging; specialist nurses would have a slack situation. Conclusions There are still many problems in the implementation of specialist management in the operating room of general hospitals. It is suggested that the rotation training of the operating room nurses should be carried out from the fixed professional group, the standardized training and the establishment of the mobile nurse database should be set up to promote the smooth implementation of the specialist management of the nurses in the operating room of the general hospital.
