Objective To explore the application effect of itinerant strengthening post in ophthalmic day operating room.Methods In June 2019 (before the establishment of the itinerant strengthening post) and January 2020 (after the establishment of the itinerant strengthening post), satisfaction of 21 ophthalmic surgeons in the ophthalmic day operation room of the West China Hospital of Sichuan University on intraoperative nursing cooperation, and coping ability scores of operation in key links, satisfaction with scheduling and workload, as well as complaints and accusations received by surgeons of 15 ophthalmological nurses in the ophthalmic day operation room of the West China Hospital of Sichuan University were collected. The total volume of eye day surgeries and the length of the day operating room open in the second half of 2018 and 2019 were retrospectively collected.Results After the establishment of the itinerant strengthening post, the coping ability score of operation in key links of ophthalmological nurses was improved [(3.28±0.72) vs. (4.67±0.72), P<0.01]. In terms of surgeons’ satisfaction with intraoperative nursing cooperation, with the exception of aseptic operation, the other items were improved (P<0.05). The surgical nurses’ satisfaction with scheduling and workload [(3.30±0.77) vs. (4.47±0.67), P<0.01]; nurses’ complaints and accusations received by surgeons [(3.60±1.18) vs. (2.33±0.82), P<0.01] were improved. The volume of eye day surgery from July to December 2019 increased by 6.58% over the same period in 2018, and the average open time of the operating room increased by 1.88%.Conclusion The setting up of itinerant strengthening posts in the ophthalmology day operation room is conducive to strengthening the strength and business guidance of the nurses’ key links in the operation room in a timely and effective manner. It can optimize the allocation of human resources in the operating room as much as possible when the existing nursing staff is in short supply, and improve the quality and efficiency of ophthalmic surgery nursing, which is worthy of promotion and application.
