This study aims to: 1) develop an evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program on surgical smoke, and 2) investigate the effectiveness of the "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program" on operating room nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors concerning the hazards of surgical smoke. The research questions of this study are as follows: What are the levels of knowledge, attitudes, and preventive behaviors regarding surgical smoke hazards among operating room nurses? What is the effect of an "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program" on operating room nurses' knowledge of surgical smoke hazards? What is the effect of an "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program" on operating room nurses' attitudes toward surgical smoke hazards? What is the effect of an "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program" on operating room nurses' preventive behaviors regarding surgical smoke hazards? The experimental group received the "evidence-based multi-strategy educational training program on surgical smoke," while the control group received the conventional training on surgical smoke. Measurements were taken three times: a pretest, a post-test one week after the course, and a follow-up test four weeks later. The research tools included a self-designed questionnaire that included scales on knowledge, attitudes toward surgical smoke, and self-protective behaviors.
