This paper reports on a national survey undertaken by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) Ophthalmic Nursing Forum to assess, first, the nature of ophthalmic services and, second, skill-mix and educational opportunities of nurses working with ophthalmic patients. A questionnaire was formulated and tested by members of the committee, with research and statistical support from the School of Nursing Studies, University of Manchester. The questionnaire was sent to the total population of ophthalmic units/hospitals in the UK (n = 168). Following descriptive statistical data analysis it was concluded that in smaller units, that is those with less than 18 beds (NB mean number of beds = 18), less than one in four nurses holds an ophthalmic qualification. Some respondents identified that in 10 instances no nurses held an ophthalmic qualification and that on 12 further occasions only one nurse held a relevant ophthalmic qualification. There are insufficient numbers of nurses holding ophthalmic qualifications. The implications of this situation are discussed and recommendations made.
本文报道了皇家护理学院（RCN）眼科护理论坛开展的一项全国性调查，该调查旨在评估：其一，眼科服务的性质；其二，护理眼科患者的护士的技能组合及教育机会。一份调查问卷由委员会成员制定并测试，得到了曼彻斯特大学护理研究学院的研究和统计支持。该问卷被发送给英国眼科科室/医院的全体机构（n = 168）。经过描述性统计数据分析得出结论，在规模较小的科室，即床位少于18张的科室（注意平均床位数为18），不到四分之一的护士拥有眼科资质。一些受访者指出，有10个科室没有护士拥有眼科资质，另有12个科室只有一名护士拥有相关眼科资质。持有眼科资质的护士数量不足。本文讨论了这种情况的影响并提出了建议。
