Objective To construct a scientific and feasible quality index system for sensitive nursing in operating rooms of second-class hospitals, and to verify its application effect in improving clinical nursing quality. Methods Forty patients who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital from May 2024 to May 2025 were selected as the research subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group using a random number table method, with 20 patients in each group. The control group implemented routine operating room nursing management, while the experimental group carried out nursing interventions based on the constructed sensitive quality index system for operating room nursing. Compare the nursing quality related indicators, incidence of adverse events, and patient satisfaction between two groups of patients. Results The sensitive quality index system for operating room nursing constructed as a result includes 3 primary indicators, 12 secondary indicators, and 28 tertiary indicators. The compliance rate of core nursing indicators in the experimental group (95.00%) was higher than that in the control group (70.00%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ ²=4.329, P=0.037); The incidence of adverse events in the experimental group (5.00%) was lower than that in the control group (30.00%), and the difference was statistically significant (χ ²=4.800, P=0.028); The satisfaction level of patients in the experimental group (98.50 ± 1.20 points) was higher than that in the control group (85.30 ± 3.50 points), and the difference was statistically significant (t=17.256, P<0.001). Conclusion The constructed sensitive quality index system for operating room nursing can effectively improve the quality of operating room nursing in second-class hospitals, reduce the incidence of adverse events, improve patient satisfaction, and has high clinical application value.
