The quality of clinical practice teaching is an important factor affecting the quality of intensive care unit (ICU) specialist nurse training. We investigated the current situation of ICU specialist nurse training and teaching quality evaluation in China and around the world. There are several aspects that can be improved in the evaluation of the quality of clinical practice teaching for ICU specialist nurses in China. Result-oriented summative evaluation is mainly used in China, and there are few studies on the quality evaluation of clinical practice teaching process. Effective feedback mechanism has not been established for teaching quality evaluation. There is a lack of systematic theoretical guidance and few studies have been conducted on the formation of the quality of clinical practice teaching and the affecting factors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct a set of scientific and practical clinical practice teaching quality evaluation system for ICU specialist nurses under the guidance of systematic theory and in line with China's national conditions. We should formulate reasonable and uniform quality evaluation standards for clinical practice teaching, strengthen the quality evaluation of the training process on the basis of result-oriented quality evaluation. Moreover, the needs of all parties in the evaluation system should be comprehensively evaluated to improve the quality of clinical practice teaching.
