Abstract：Objective:To investigate the status quo of the application ability of operating room nurses to implement nursing process and its influencing factors,and to provide a basis for formulating corresponding intervention measures.Methods:By using the convenience sampling method,a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1,218 operating room nurses in Sichuan province from January to April 2025,using a general information questionnaire,a Competency of Nursing Process Questionnaire,the Job Crafting Scale,a Reflective Ability Scale for Clinical Nurses,and the General Self-Efficacy Scale.Results:The total score of the application of nursing process by operating room nurses was(92.76±12.67),the score of reflective ability of clinical nurses was(82.90±11.95),the score of job crafting was(91.47±12.45),and the score of general self-efficacy was(33.66±5.44).The application ability of nursing process of operating room nurses was positively correlated with job craftingg,self-efficacy and reflective ability(r values were 0.714,0.671 and 0.809 respectively,all P＜0.01).Multivariate analysis showed that professional title,training experience,job crafting ability,self-efficacy and clinical reflective ability had significant effects on the application ability of nursing process(P＜0.05).Conclusions:The application ability of nursing process by nurses in the operating room is good but still has room for improvement.Nursing managers should play a leading role well,provide nurses with sufficient work support and resources,enhance their self-efficacy and reflective ability,so as to ensure the quality of nursing and promote the postoperative recovery of patients.
