Abstract: Objective: To explore the application of penguin training in the standardized training of new nurses in operating rooms, and evaluate the application effects. Methods: Totally 71 standardized training nurses in the operating room from 2016 to 2019 were divided into two groups, including 33 in the observation group and 38 in the control group. Penguin training was adopted in the observation group, while the control group employed the conventional training mode. The evaluation content included four dimensions: response, learning, behavior and outcome. The assessment included satisfaction survey, theoretical and operational assessment, work experience interview and professional attitude assessment. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the assessment results of theoretical knowledge and skills of new nurses between the two groups (P>0.05). Nurses in the observation group showed higher acceptance of training, less negative work experience, higher peer satisfaction and occupational spirit scale scores than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: On the premise of ensuring the theoretical and operational ability of new nurses, penguin training can improve the peer satisfaction and professional spirit of new nurses, reduce negative work experience, and help to form a positive and harmonious learning and working environment among nurses.
