Objective To explore the practice and effectiveness of optimizing the clinical nursing teaching process in spinal surgery. Methods Forty interns from the hospital's spinal surgery department between August 2023 and October 2025 were selected as observation subjects. They were divided into a control group (20 cases) and a study group (20 cases) using the double-blind method. The control group received conventional nursing teaching, while the study group underwent teaching based on the optimized clinical nursing teaching process for spinal surgery. The theoretical knowledge and practical operation skills of the two groups were compared. Results Compared with the control group, the study group demonstrated significantly higher scores in both theoretical knowledge and practical operation abilities. Additionally, the study group showed significantly higher scores in personal performance, including communication and collaboration skills, personal ethics, and attitude toward nursing work, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusion Optimizing the clinical nursing teaching process in spinal surgery helps enhance interns' theoretical knowledge and practical operation skills, improves personal performance in nursing work, and achieves significant teaching effectiveness.
