Abstract:	Aim: The first training center for nurse anesthetists in Jiangsu Province, China was established. The aim of this study is to understand the status of and effectiveness of a training program based on International Federation of Nurse Anesthetists (IFNA) standards for nurse anesthetists in China. Background: China recently issued a clear policy to improve the quality of anesthesia care and to ensure the safety and comfort of patients. As a result, the roles of nurse anesthetists have received more attention, highlighting the importance of the development and implementation of relevant training. Introduction: IFNA standards were applied to the development of a specialized training program for nurse anesthetists, which is expected to serve as a reference for various medical institutions and to lead to increased uniformity and improvement in the quality and efficiency of care. Methods: These standards are divided into two indicators: curriculum and core competencies. Through questionnaires, course evaluations, and satisfaction surveys before and after the implementation of the training program, the effectiveness of the training program was analyzed. Results: Theoretical assessment of the program was higher after its completion than before and the core competencies of nurse anesthetists significantly improved. Overall, the curriculum was highly satisfactory and important. Discussion: Curriculum design was based on IFNA standards. Nurse anesthetists who are trained in a systematic way can work better with other professionals in providing anesthesia care. The objectives are to improve anesthesia care, reduce errors, improve physician satisfaction, and allow nurse anesthetists to realize their value. Overall, quality of anesthesia care improved after implementation of IFNA-standard training.
