Purpose:
To explore the effect of cooperative training between doctors and nurses on improving the practical ability of micro-endodontics specialist nurses.
Methods:
Twenty-two nurses in the Department of Endodontics were trained by specialist directors and doctors. The head of department nursing explained in the form of teaching and simulated exercises of medical and nursing training. Before and after the training, theoretical and practical abilities of the trained nurses were assessed, and self-made questionnaires were used to investigate the training effect. The results were analyzed by SPSS 10.0 software package.
Resuits:
Twenty-two trained nurses were compared before and after training in theoretical knowledge and practical ability. Statistical analysis showed that the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Questionnaire survey showed that 95.5% of trained nurses believed that they could enhance the sense of solidarity and cooperation, 100% of trained nurses believed that they could increase the efficiency of operative therapy, 100% of doctors believed that medical and nursing cooperation training could increase the nursing skill proficiency of trained nurses, and the cooperation of trained nurses was predictable.
Conclusions:
Cooperative training broadens the specialty knowledge of endodontic specialist nurses, improves their proficiency in cooperation with endodontic specialists and their tacit understanding with doctors, and evidently improves their theoretical and practical abilities.
