Numerous nurses work in operating rooms and recovery rooms or participate in the performance of anaesthesia in China. However, the scope of practice and the education for Chinese Anaesthesia Nurses is not standardized, varying from one geographic location to another. Furthermore, most nurses are not trained sufficiently to provide anaesthesia care.
This study aimed to develop the first Anaesthesia Nurse Education Program in Mainland China based on the Educational Standards of the International Federation of Nurse Anaesthetists.
The Delphi technique was applied to develop the scope of practice, competencies for Chinese Anaesthesia Nurses and education program. In 2014 the Anaesthesia Nurse Education Program established by the hospital applied for recognition by the International Federation of Nurse Anaesthetists. The Program's curriculum was evaluated against the IFNA Standards and recognition was awarded in 2015.
The four-category, 50-item practice scope, and the three-domain, 45-item competency list were identified for Chinese Anaesthesia Nurses. The education program, which was established based on the International Federation of Nurse Anaesthetists educational standards and Chinese context, included nine curriculum modules. In March 2015, 13 candidates received and passed the 21-month education program. The Anaesthesia Nurse Education Program became the first program approved by the International Federation of Nurse Anaesthetists in China.
Policy makers and hospital leaders can be confident that anaesthesia nurses graduating from this Chinese program will be prepared to demonstrate high level patient care as reflected in the recognition by IFNA of their adoption of international nurse anaesthesia education standards.
在中国，众多护士在手术室、恢复室工作或参与麻醉操作。然而，中国麻醉护士的执业范围和教育情况并不规范，因地理位置不同而有所差异。此外，大多数护士在提供麻醉护理方面未得到充分培训。
本研究旨在依据国际麻醉护士联合会的教育标准，在中国内地开发首个麻醉护士教育项目。
采用德尔菲法来确定中国麻醉护士的执业范围、能力要求和教育项目。2014年，医院设立的麻醉护士教育项目申请国际麻醉护士联合会的认可。该项目的课程依据国际麻醉护士联合会标准进行评估，并于2015年获得认可。
确定了中国麻醉护士四类共50项的执业范围，以及三个领域共45项的能力清单。基于国际麻醉护士联合会教育标准和中国实际情况设立的教育项目包括九个课程模块。2015年3月，13名学员完成并通过了为期21个月的教育项目。该麻醉护士教育项目成为中国首个获得国际麻醉护士联合会认可的项目。
政策制定者和医院领导可以确信，毕业于该中国项目的麻醉护士将有能力提供高水平的患者护理，这体现在国际麻醉护士联合会认可其采用了国际麻醉护士教育标准。
