During the initial response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, hospital leaders limited or halted the scheduling of elective surgical procedures. Perioperative nurse educators participated in a rapid response to develop innovative strategies and use a variety of modalities to provide information and education activities for staff members who were reassigned to different hospital areas. Residency program educators used alternative teaching methods to accommodate the lack of clinical rotations and allow orienting nurses to progress in an OR nurse residency program. Limited access to ORs and social distancing rules prevented nursing students from completing clinical rotations in health care settings, and academic educators developed flexible solutions to meet the students' needs. Perioperative educators can use guidance from national and international organizations to assist leaders and staff members with managing patient care during the pandemic. This article presents specific information on perioperative nurse educator roles and responses during the pandemic.
在应对 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行的初期，医院领导限制或停止了择期手术的安排。围手术期护士教育者参与了快速反应，制定了创新策略，并使用各种方式为被重新分配到不同医院区域的工作人员提供信息和教育活动。住院医师计划教育者使用替代教学方法来适应临床轮转的缺乏，并允许定向护士在手术室护士住院医师计划中取得进展。手术室有限的访问和社会距离规则阻止护理学生在医疗保健环境中完成临床轮转，学术教育者制定了灵活的解决方案来满足学生的需求。围手术期教育者可以使用国家和国际组织的指导，协助领导和工作人员在大流行期间管理患者护理。本文介绍了大流行期间围手术期护士教育者角色和应对措施的具体信息。
