Different level hospitals, different ways of employment and whether the digestive endoscopy nurses ever participated in the digestive endoscopy training influenced the specialist knowledge score (P<0.05). Conclusions Acquisition of specialist knowledge of digestive endoscopy nurses in the survey is in the medium level, thus it is imperative to strengthen the digestive endoscopy nurse specialist knowledge training.
