Construction of Training Program for Specialized Nurses in the Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD) Based on Post...

Area of Science:

• Healthcare Education
• Nursing Practice
• Sterile Services Management

Background:

• Central Sterile Supply Departments (CSSD) require specialized nursing skills for effective infection control.
• Existing training programs may not adequately address the specific competencies needed for CSSD nurses.
• A competency-based approach ensures targeted skill development and improved patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

• To construct a training program for specialized nurses in CSSD based on job competency.
• To establish scientifically validated training content and methods for CSSD specialized nurses.
• To provide a reference for developing effective CSSD nursing training.

Main Methods:

• Literature analysis to identify key competencies.
• Investigation and survey research to gather data on training needs.
• Two rounds of expert consultation using questionnaires and statistical analysis (Kendall's W) to refine training content and methods.

Main Results:

• Expert consultations confirmed the importance and relevance of identified indicators for CSSD nursing competencies.
• High recovery rates (95.45%-100%) and statistically significant expert consensus (Kendall's W: 0.187-0.2196, P < 0.05) were achieved.
• The developed training program is based on scientific, reasonable, and authoritative methods, with expert opinions showing consistency.

Conclusions:

• The constructed CSSD-specialized nurse training program effectively integrates job competency theory.
• The program's development methodology, utilizing literature analysis, surveys, and expert consultation, is scientifically sound and authoritative.
• The established training program provides a valuable reference for enhancing the skills and knowledge of CSSD specialized nurses.
