Popis: BACKGROUND The training of orthopedic nurse specialists is gradually increasing in China, but the effect of the training, namely the specialized nursing work carried out by them upon returning to work after training, is unknown. This study aimed to further our understanding of the effect of training orthopedic nurse specialists and provide a basis for improving the training program. METHODS A total of 201 clinical nurse specialists who graduated from the training base of orthopedic nurse specialists in the Jiangsu Province were interviewed via a self-made questionnaire. RESULTS All orthopedic nurse specialists completed a series of specialized nursing work after returning to their posts. In particular, the clinical nurse specialists with senior professional titles participated in more specialized nursing work projects, such as continuous improvement of orthopedic nursing quality, and so on. The influence of having attained different educational levels on the specialized nursing work of orthopedic nurse specialists was not significant. CONCLUSIONS The orthopedic nurse specialists carried out a series of specialized nursing work after returning to their posts, which not only helps to improve the quality of orthopedic nursing, but also assists in promoting the popularization and homogenization of new knowledge and skills in orthopedic nursing in the Jiangsu Province.
