Abstract: In order to ensure the occupational safety of front-line nurses and reduce the transmission risk in medical institutions, our hospital set up a post of protective supervision nurses in February 2020. We formulated the working system and post responsibilities, and defined the clinical practice requirements of the protective supervision nurses. After the implementation, the medical staff were supervised to wear and take off personal protective equipment for more than 37000 times, take protective behavior for more than 45000 times, monitor the concentration of disinfectant for more than 380 times, and collect various samples for infection management for more than 230 times. The correct rate of using personal protective equipment, wearing and taking off personal protective equipment and taking protective behavior for nurses increased from 82.13% to 96.35%, 85.31% to 98.73% and 88.32% to 97.68%, respectively. No infection among the nurses was reported in the ward. The establishment of protective supervision nurses has played a positive role in the personal protection of front-line nurses.
