Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the current status of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention and nursing in Department of Orthopedics of China hospitals, and provide a basis for hospitals and related departments to promote systematic DVT prevention and nursing management.

In September 2019, the self-designed Domestic Orthopedic Deep Vein Thrombosis Prevention and Nursing Questionnaire was used to investigate the members of the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee who signed up for the China Health Promotion Foundation Orthopedic Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prevention and Nursing Management Forum. The survey subject came from 125 hospitals in 29 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country. Respondents completed the electronic questionnaire survey by scanning the quick response code, and 118 valid questionnaires were finally recovered.
ResultsThe proportion of 118 hospitals carrying out in-hospital DVT special training was 82.2% (97/118) . Among the ways for nurses to acquire knowledge, the exchanges outside the hospital, literature review, and international exchange accounted for 70.3% (83/118) , 60.2% (71/118) and 14.4% (17/118) respectively. The proportion of establishing hospital DVT risk early warning information system was 57.6% (68/118) . The hospital-level professional group formulated a complete DVT prevention and nursing system process accounting for 44.1% (52/118) , and the department-level professional group formulated a complete DVT prevention and nursing system process accounting for 36.4% (43/118) . In the comprehensive evaluation of DVT prevention and nursing management, 65.3% (77/118) of hospitals rated it as excellent, and 34.7% (41/118) of hospitals rated it as fair and lacking.
