This study aims at improving perioperative nursing care in liver transplantation. Both the standard of the perioperative nursing care and the nursing guide were found to be far from perfect. Lack of a perioperative nursing care manual, patient preoperative information booklets, professional educative training, operative protection standards, and protective materials contributed to inadequate perioperative nursing care in liver transplantation. In order to improve the quality of nursing care, a nursing guide manual was established after conducing a survey among all operating room (OR) nursing staff involved in liver transplantation. This manual was revised and improved based on a second serial OR nursing survey. A training program was established based on this manual to standardize perioperative nursing care. The manual also included standard patient protective measures during liver transplantation. New protective materials were obtained and used in the new protocols. The two surveys included a satisfaction survey to evaluate OR nurses’ opinion about the standard care. The satisfaction level elevated to 96.6% from 86.8%. Patient injuries (skin damage, drop foot, nerve damage of the lower extremities, and hypothermia) were no longer seen after standardization of nursing care. Standardizing and improving perioperative nursing care with manual based educative training program not only lower the risk of injuries to patients in liver transplantation but also increase overall nursing work satisfaction. |
