The well-being of the profession of nurse anesthesia requires sound education programs to educate the cadre of providers in the specialty practice of anesthesia nursing to meet societal needs. Many factors in the environment can have an impact on a program's ability to achieve this goal. Where factors are adverse, it can force a program to close. Closure of education programs should be a matter of concern to the entire nurse anesthesia community. However, complex factors can only be understood when information about their nature and characteristics is current. Making predictions about how a system may respond based on decade-old data is neither an efficient nor effective method to develop strategy-based solutions. This study identified factors that influenced decisions to close six nurse anesthesia education programs. Armed with this information, other programs can better prepare to counter the negative influences that could lead to their closing.
麻醉护士职业的健康发展需要完善的教育项目，以便培养麻醉护理专业实践领域的专业人员，满足社会需求。环境中的许多因素会影响一个项目实现这一目标的能力。当这些因素不利时，可能会迫使项目关闭。教育项目的关闭应引起整个麻醉护士群体的关注。然而，只有当有关其性质和特征的信息是最新的时，才能理解这些复杂因素。基于十年前的数据对系统可能的反应进行预测，既不是制定基于策略的解决方案的有效方法，也不是高效方法。本研究确定了影响六个麻醉护士教育项目关闭决策的因素。有了这些信息，其他项目可以更好地准备应对可能导致其关闭的负面影响。
