This paper reviews the current status of the application of surgical specialty nursing quality evaluation indicators both domestically and internationally. It covers the related concepts, theoretical foundations, construction methods, construction fields, application research, and existing shortcomings of these indicators. It suggests that scholars and researchers in the nursing field in China should base their work on mature theories, use scientific research methods, and construct a quality indicator system that aligns with China’s surgical development, is practical, unified, suitable for the local context, and beneficial for the development of the surgical nursing discipline.
