Abstract
In order to understand the clinical application status and influencing factors of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing techniques in the treatment of venomous snake bite patients, and explore the strategies to promote the application of traditional Chinese medicine nursing techniques in the treatment of venomous snake bite patients, this study selected 79 hospitals in Guangdong Province by the method of stratified sampling and objective sampling, and investigated the head nurses or nursing leaders in the departments that treated venomous snake bite patients. The results showed that the carry-out rate of TCM nursing techniques for venomous snake bite in hospitals of Guangdong province was only 31.6%. The most common use TCM nursing techniques were external application of TCM, acupuncture and bloodletting, and internal use of TCM. The main reasons affecting the application of TCM nursing techniques in patients with snakebite were "doctors rarely prescribe TCM nursing advice", "nurses were not good at TCM nursing skills" and "lack of necessary instruments and equipment". It can be seen that there is still a great space for TCM nursing techniques to be applied and promoted in the treatment of venomous snake bite patients. In the future, it is necessary to improve doctors' attention to TCM nursing and nurses' knowledge and nursing techniques of TCM nursing.
