Abstract: Objective: To investigate the training needs of interventional nurses in Jiangsu province, and to provide a foundation for developing scientifically and rational training programs. Methods: A total of 325 interventional nurses from 13 hospitals in Jiangsu province were recruited by convenience sampling method from November to December 2023, and a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the specialized training needs of these nurses. Results: Totally 97.54% of interventional nurses considered it necessary to conduct specialized training, and 92.00% of interventional nurses were willing to participate in interventional training. There was statistical significance in the scores of interventional knowledge, complication prevention and treatment and emergency nursing between nurses in interventional operating room and nurses in interventional ward (P<0.05). Different types of interventional nurses had different training requirements. Conclusion: The survey of 13 hospitals in Jiangsu province indicates a high demand for specialized training among interventional nurses.
