Abstract：Objective To explore the application effect of self-examination mode of potential safety hazards in nursing risk management in operating room. Methods 100 patients who needed operation in our hospital from August 2016 to February 2018 were selected for the study. They were randomly divided into control group（n=50）and research group（n=50）according to the digital table method. The control group were adopted in the conventional operating room nursing risk management mode, while the research group were adopted in the self-examination mode of potential safety hazards. The satisfaction degree and the incidence of nursing risk events were observed and compared in the two groups. Results The patients?? satisfaction

degree in the research group was significantly higher than that in the control group（90.00% VS 60.00%, P＜0.05）; the incidence of nursing risk events in the control group was significantly higher than that in the research group（36.00% VS 14.00%, P＜0.05）. Conclusion The self-examination model of potential safety hazards in nursing risk management in operating room can significantly improve the satisfaction of patients, and has a significant regulatory effect on the patient??s condition, which is worthy of further application and promotion in clinical practice.
