ObjectiveTo explore the effect of positive implication in the operating room on the patient's mental. MethodsA total of 160 patients who received the routine laparoscopic appendectomy surgery from January 2011 to October 2012 were treated with positive implications and conventional appease routine psychological care and the fear, pain, depression and anxiety, and other indicators of the two groups were compared. ResultsThe fear scores in the control group patients were significantly higher than that in the observation group (P<0.05). The patient's perceived pain in the control group was higher than that in the observation group (P<0.05); after nursing intervention, the anxiety and depression levels in the two groups decreased significantly; the observation group had significantly higher satisfaction for the entire course of medical treatment (P<0.05). ConclusionThe positive implication in the operating room can effectively alleviate the patient's fear, anxiety, depression and perceived pain and so on and can contribute to the effect of operation and rehabilitation of the patients.
ObjectiveTo understand the status of the nurse facial skin damage because of regular exposure to a variety of environmental damage factors, in order to cause enough attention and find the solution. MethodsBetween January 2013 and June 2014, we used a self-made questionnaire to survey 122 operating room nurses from grade three first-rate hospitals by random sampling on the facial skin damage status. Then, we analyzed the risk factors of operating room nurses facial skin damage and put forward such countermeasures as improving working environment, increasing service facilities, reducing pollution and biological, chemical, psychological factors, and selecting and using surgical masks properly and promoting facial skin protective measures. ResultsThe survey showed that 93.3% of all the investigated operating room nurses had facial skin problems which mainly was rough dry skin (99.2%); 76.7% of the nurses thought that it was related to the nature of work, and 72.5% of them considered that metal fatigue was the main influence factor. ConclusionWe should strengthen the nurses’ own protection consciousness, enact all kinds of protective measures, strictly implement the system of protection and take effective protective measures as to reduce the operating room nurses facial skin damage.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the occupational exposures and protective condition of medical staff in operating room for interventional therapy. MethodsFrom September to November in 2014, 46 medical staff in the operating room for interventional therapy were adopted to complete the occupational exposures and protection situation survey. After that, we analyzed and scored all the questionnaires. ResultsThe awareness of the medical staff about occupational exposures and occupational protection in the operating room was low; the awareness rates of doctors, nurses, and radiology technicians were 74.2%, 63.0% and 66.7%, respectively. The general condition of implement of occupational protection measures of the medical staff was bad, and the average rate of the doctors, nurses and radiology technicians was 51.3%, 43.9%, and 15.2%. ConclusionThe implement rates of occupational protection measures of the medical staff in Operating Room for interventional therapy differ much from the awareness rates. The rates in doctors and nurses are higher than that in radiology technicians. We should strengthen the education of radiation damage and protection measures in doctors, and enhance the training of iatrogenic injuries related knowledge in clinical radiology technicians to reduce occupational hazards.
Day surgery can shorten the average hospital stay and enhance the recovery of patients, and has great social and economic benefits. In order to provide reference for the establishment of standardized operating room management, West China Hospital of Sichuan University summed up the experience of past years to develop this management specification for day surgery operating room. The main contents of this specification include: the principles of scheduling day surgery; the resource allocation of operating room; operating room nursing care, nursing points, and precautions. The release of this specification is conducive to the improvement of the nursing management for day surgery operating room, and the promotion of day surgery.
ObjectiveTo explore the application effect of itinerant strengthening post in ophthalmic day operating room.MethodsIn 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.ResultsAfter 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%.ConclusionThe 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.
