Abstract

BACKGROUND

A shortage of anesthesiologists is having a serious impact on Japanese medicine. The adoption of nurse anesthetists is currently a matter of debate among Japanese surgeons and anesthesiologists. To probe whether future nurse anesthetists exist in Japan, a questionnaire survey of nurses was carried out.

METHODS

Anonymous questionnaires were sent to 99 acute-care nurses in our hospital. Inquiries included those on their backgrounds, the shortage of the anesthesiologists, and issues related to the nurse anesthetists.

RESULTS

Eighty-four answers (85%) were obtained. Sixty-seven nurses (80%) were aware of the shortage of the anesthesiologists. Although only 19 (23%) had certain knowledge of nurse anesthetists before this survey, 71 (85%) were willing to become, or interested in nurse anesthetists. The majority (56%) described nurse anesthetists' job should be limited to endotracheal intubation, vascular catheter placement, and intravenous medication solely under the supervision of the anesthesiologists. Virtually all respondents claimed the qualifications of the nurse anesthetists should include both training in the acute care setting as certified nurses and training in anesthesia school.

CONCLUSIONS

Our preliminary survey denotes that future nurse anesthetists exist in Japan.

摘要

背景

麻醉医师短缺正严重影响日本的医疗行业。目前，日本外科医生和麻醉医师之间正在就是否采用麻醉护士展开辩论。为探究日本未来是否会有麻醉护士，我们对护士进行了问卷调查。

方法

向我院99名急症护理护士发放了匿名问卷。调查内容包括她们的背景、麻醉医师短缺情况以及与麻醉护士相关的问题。

结果

共收到84份回复（85%）。67名护士（80%）意识到麻醉医师短缺。尽管在本次调查前只有19名（23%）对麻醉护士有一定了解，但71名（85%）愿意成为或对麻醉护士感兴趣。大多数人（56%）认为麻醉护士的工作应仅限于在麻醉医师的监督下进行气管插管、血管导管置入和静脉给药。几乎所有受访者都声称麻醉护士的资质应包括作为注册护士在急症护理环境中的培训以及在麻醉学校的培训。
