Objective. This study aimed to provide scientific management methods to prevent nosocomial infection based on the systematical evaluation of the effect of operating room nursing management on nosocomial infection in orthopedic surgery. Methods. PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China National Knowledge Internet, and Wanfang Databases were systematically searched for relevant studies published from 2013 to 2020. In this meta-analysis, comprehensive estimates of effect size estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for nursing satisfaction and incidence of infection were obtained. Results. Twenty studies with 2962 orthopedic patients were included in the meta-analysis. The experimental group received operating room nursing management while the routine nursing management was given for the control group. Meta-results showed that, in comparison with the control group, the nursing satisfaction in the experimental group was increased (OR 6.22, 95% CI: 4.63–8.35, P < 0.001), while the incidence of infection was reduced (OR 0.20, 95% CI: 0.15–0.28, P < 0.001), and the differences had statistical significance. Conclusions. Operating room nursing management could reduce the incidence of infection while prevent nosocomial infection in orthopedic surgery, which could be utilized to guide the hospital management.
