Effect of a Feedforward Control Model on Nursing Attitudes in the Operating Room

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a feedforward control model on nursing error behaviour and nursing attitudes in the operating room. Methods: A total of 216 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were randomly selected as the research subjects and divided into a control group and a research group, with 108 cases in each. The control group received routine surgical nursing management, while the research group received surgical nursing management with a feedforward control model. Nursing quality, error behaviour, and work attitude score, as well as the occurrence of safety hazards and patient satisfaction, were compared between the two groups of patients. Results: Compared with the control group, the nursing quality score, including nursing document quality (72.0 ± 1.8 vs 97.2 ± 2.0), quality control inspection (75.4 ± 1.9 vs 95.5 ± 1.2), disinfection and isolation (73.4 ± 2.4 vs 96.6 ± 2.0) and nursing safety management (71.1 ± 2.2 vs 98.0 ± 1.8), were higher in the research group (P < 0.05); the scores for nursing error behaviour (13.2 ± 1.0 vs 19.4 ± 1.8) and work attitudes of the research group (14.0 ± 1.2 vs 19.0 ± 2.0) were higher (P < 0.05); and the research group had a lower incidence of safety hazards (11.1% vs 0.9%, P < 0.05); finally, the research group had higher patient satisfaction (71.3% vs 93.5%, P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of a feedforward control model for nursing management in the operating room can significantly reduce nurses’ errors and improve their attitudes, continuously reduce the incidence of safety incidents, improve the quality of operating room nursing and increase the satisfaction of patients and their families with the nursing care they received.
