Enhancing the safety of surgical catheters and drains represents a pivotal aim in the quest for healthcare quality and patient safety within hospitals. The insertion of catheters or drains is a routine yet invasive procedure in surgical practice, where the thoroughness of surgical drain management emerges as a critical measure of catheter and drain safety. A clinical survey revealed that nurses in the twoyear postgraduate training program (N-PGY2) displayed lower proficiency in both the understanding and execution of surgical drain care, with completion rates of 71.3% and cognition rates of 66.3%, respectively. This deficiency led to hesitance among physicians to entrust patient care to N-PGY2 nurses, contributing to a climate of distrust and negativity within medical teams. In response, a dedicated task force for improvement was established. The survey identified key areas for enhancement among N-PGY2 nurses: a lack of specialized knowledge in managing surgical drain care, absence of practical nursing courses addressing patient condition changes in Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE), reliance on textual materials for education and training, and inexperience with surgical drain complications prior to independent practice. The implemented solutions included: 1) Development of comprehensive educational and training materials for surgical drain care, 2) Introduction of a QR code linking to training resources, 3) Creation of a quick-reference guide for surgical drain care, 4) Establishment of ''Physician's Comments'' as a standard reporting procedure for drain abnormalities, and 5) Enhancement of OSCE content in collaboration with physicians to cover abnormal surgical drain scenarios. Post-intervention results showed a significant improvement in the N-PGY2 nurses' completion and cognition rates of surgical drain care, rising to 95.3% and 94.5%, respectively. This initiative is anticipated to lower the incidence of surgical drain complications and elevate patient safety standards. |
