Abstract:

Introduktion: Den perioperativa omvårdnaden där operationssjuksköterskan ingår innefattar faserna före, under och efter operation och kan ses som ett arbetssätt. Perioperativ omvårdnad har utarbetats under 1990-talet. Arbetssättet har inte efterlevts i någon stor grad trots positiva effekter för patienter och personal. Operationssjuksköterskans arbete är fortfarande övervägande traditionellt, med fokus på tiden då patienten är sövd och opereras. Vårdenhetschefers och sektionsledares uppfattningar om den perioperativa omvårdnaden har betydelse för hur arbetet bedrivs på operationsavdelningar. Syfte: Att beskriva vårdenhetschefers och sektionsledares uppfattningar om operationssjuksköterskans perioperativa omvårdnadsarbete samt om införandet av perioperativ omvårdnad. Metod:Datainsamling skedde genom öppna intervjuer med fyra vårdenhetschefer och fyra sektionsledare inom operationssjukvården på två länssjukhus och två universitetssjukhus i Sverige. Insamlad data har analyserats kvalitativt med manifest innehållsanalys. Huvudresultat: Perioperativ omvårdnad som arbetssätt hade enligt vårdenhetschefer och sektionsledare inom operationssjukvård ett värde genom att förnya operationssjuksköterskans arbetssätt vilket anses förbättra patientens omvårdnad. För att införa perioperativ omvårdnad krävdes att olika behov tillgodoses, som tydliggörande av patientnyttan, stöd som skapar rätt förutsättningar, samt att det behövs motivation hos operationssjuksköterskor. Slutsats: Perioperativt omvårdnadsarbete är, trots dess värde, inte möjligt att genomföra utan långtgående förändringar i synsätt och organisation.
Introduction: Perioperative care in which the operating room nurse takes part includes the phases before, during and after operation and can be seen as a way of working in parallel with the care process. This approach has however not been applied to any great extent in pratice despite several studies having shown the positive effects for both patients and staff. The common view of the operating room nurse’s role is still a traditional one with the focus on the time when the patient is anaesthetized and during the actual surgery. Unit managers and section leaders perceptions of perioperative care are important since it affects how the approach is applied in practice. Aim: To describe the unit managers and section leaders perceptions of the operating nurse’s perioperative care work together with how the process is applied in practice. Method: Data were collected by semi-structured interviews with four unit managers and four section leaders within the operating room unit of two provincial hospitals and two university hospitals in Sweden. Data have been analysed with a qualitative content analysis. Main results: Perioperative care as an approach has, according to the unit managers and section leaders in the operating room unit, a value as it revitalises the operating room nurse’s method of working which in turn is thought to improve patient care. It is maintained that in order to introduce perioperative care certain requirements need to be fulfilled, such as clarification of the benefit to patients, support in order to create the right conditions, as well as the need for motivated operating room nurses. Conclusion: Perioperative nursing care is, despite its value, not possible to implement without farreaching changes to how operating room nursing is approached as well as organisational changes.

Abstract:

This qualitative study sought to examine perioperative nursing from the perspective of its practitioners. It was undertaken in two operating theatre sites within NHS Trusts in England. The study used the ethnographic approaches of non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews, with ten observation sessions totalling 85 hours undertaken and eight interviews conducted. Thematic data analysis was undertaken supported by the NVivo qualitative data analysis software program. Two main themes emerged as being core components of perioperative nursing work. The first, ‘Managing Momentum’, related to the work that the nurses undertook to ensure that the operating lists went smoothly and progressed throughout the day. The second, ‘Accounting for Safety’, focussed on the need to ensure that patients were kept safe from harm at all points of their perioperative journey. Three different perioperative nursing roles were identified (anaesthetic, scrub and recovery nurses) and these different types of perioperative nurse undertook managing momentum and accounting for safety work, but each enacted them differently. There was tension between the two components of the work that these nurses had to resolve. The study concludes that perioperative nursing is not a homogenous entity. Nonetheless, perioperative nursing centres on balancing momentum and risk. This insight provides a new understanding of this ‘hidden’ or backstage type of nursing practice. This work will inform perioperative nurses’ understandings of their work, and can also feed into formal definitions of perioperative nursing, recruitment and professional development.

Abstract:

Vid den perioperativa dialogen möter den perioperativa sjuksköterskan patienten vid tre tillfällen i samband med operation. Detta har visat sig komma både patienter och sjuksköterskor till godo. För att införa perioperativ dialog krävs förändringar i organisationen. Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka vilka förutsättningar som krävs för att införa och arbeta med perioperativ dialog på operationsavdelning. Arbetet är en pilotstudie med kvalitativ ansats, där chefssjuksköterskor intervjuats. I resultatet framkom kategorierna förutsättningar och hinder med sub- och sub-subkategorier. Chefssjuksköterskorna i undersökningen hade svårt att se hur perioperativ dialog skulle kunna införas i deras operationsverksamhet. De pekade på personalbrist, och genom det svårigheter för operationssjuksköterskan att få tid att följa patienten. Vidare framkom det att det måste finnas ett behov hos patienter och personal av att använda perioperativ dialog. De såg också möjligheter att införa det i elektiv verksamhet och att det finns behov av en drivande person som kan starta upp införandet genom projekt.
Perioperative dialogue is a way of working where the perioperative nurse meets the patient at three occasions, which has proved to be beneficial for both patients and nurses. To implement the perioperative dialogue, organization changes are needed. The aim of the study was to investigate what is required to implement and work with perioperative dialogue. A pilot study has been performed, with a qualitative approach, where head-nurses were interviewed. The result presented two main categories, opportunities and hindrances with sub- and sub-subcategories. The interviewed head-nurses had difficulties to see how to implement perioperative dialogue in their organization. Shortage of staff, and therefore difficulties for the theater nurse to have the time to follow the patient was emphasized. Perioperative dialogue demands a need from patients and staff. In daily work the participating head nurses did see the possibility for easier implementation in elective surgery and also the need for a special person to head the project.

Abstract:

Introduktion: Hypotermi är ett tillstånd med en kroppstemperatur ≤ 36°C som uppstår hos ca 70% av alla som opereras och ger en ökad risk för flertalet komplikationer. Enligt rekommendationer skall monitorering ske vid alla operationer längre än 30 minuter, och kroppstemperaturen bör därför alltid monitoreras perioperativt i samverkan med förebyggande interventioner. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att studera perioperativ hypotermi med följande två frågeställningar; förekomsten av hypotermi hos patienter som genomgår ett operativt ingrepp kortare än tre timmar och sjuksköterskor specialiserade inom operation-, och anestesisjukvårds kliniska resonemang kring temperaturmätning och hypotermiförebyggande omvårdnadsåtgärder. Metod: En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie, där datainsamlingen utfördes med hjälp av ett studieprotokoll och en webbkonstruerad enkät bestående av egenformulerade frågor. Svarsfrekvensen var 17,2% (n=12) respektive 70% (n=16). Data sammanställdes i programmet Microsoft Excel och analyserades deskriptivt, samt analyserades med hjälp av manifest innehållsanalys. Resultat: Kroppstemperaturen hos samtliga deltagare sjönk någon gång under det perioperativa förloppet och hypotermi förekom hos 66,7%. Nära hälften av specialistsjuksköterskorna uppgav att de saknar kunskap om rekommendationerna och det framkom en skillnad gällande mätning beroende på operationens längd. De ansåg att den främsta orsaken till skillnaden gällande mätning av kroppstemperaturen var en ökad exponeringstid och en ökad medvetenhet om hypotermi vid längre operationer. Bristande förutsättningar ansågs även det vara en orsak till att rekommendationerna inte efterföljs. Slutsats: Hypotermi kan förekomma även vid kortare operativa ingrepp, och specialistsjuksköterskor upplever en skillnad gällande monitorering av kroppstemperaturen beroende på längden av det operativa ingreppet. Denna studie synliggör att det finns bristande kunskap om hypotermi och en bristande följsamhet till rekommendationer gällande monitorering av kroppstemperaturen perioperativt.

Abstract:

BAKGRUND: Det teoretiska ramverket Fundamentals of Care innefattar de grundläggande delarna i en patients vårdbehov uppdelade i olika dimensioner. En dimension är etablera vårdrelation. Tidigare forskning belyser bemötande och vårdrelation utifrån sjuksköterskor och specialistsjuksköterskor i olika vårdkontexter. Mötet i den perioperativa vårdkontexten är ofta kort, där specialistsjuksköterskan ska arbeta för att vinna patientens tillit och bilda sig en uppfattning av patienten. En kunskapslucka föreligger hur dimensionen etablera vårdrelation i den perioperativa vården mellan den perioperativt verksamma specialistsjuksköterskan och patienten etableras. SYFTE: Att undersöka hur etablerandet av vårdrelation utifrån Fundamentals of Care sker mellan specialistsjuksköterska och patient under den perioperativa perioden. METOD: Litteraturstudie med systematisk ansats baserad på kvalitativa artiklar. Deduktiv innehållsanalys enligt Elo och Kyngäs. RESULTAT: I resultatet framkom att delar av FoC dimension etablera vårdrelation går att återfinna i den kliniska verksamheten. Skapa förtroende, vara närvarande och förutse behov, återfanns i majoriteten av artiklarna. Vara påläst samt reflektera och utvärdera var huvudområden som uppfattades bristande. Det fanns en önskan om kontinuitet i den perioperativa vårdrelationen. En aspekt som påverkade detta var tidsbristen som ofta förelåg. SLUTSATS: Specialistsjuksköterskan etablerar en vårdrelation med patienten dagligen, vilken går att applicera i FoCs dimension etablera vårdrelation. En önskan om en kontinuitet i vården och att få följa patienten med pre- intra- och post-operativa möten fanns hos specialistsjuksköterskan. Att tillämpa FoC i en verksamhet skulle kunna möjliggöra för specialistsjuksköterskan att genom ett anpassat arbetssätt, få möjligheten till en kontinuitet i vårdrelationen, vilket skulle kunna gynna patienten.
BACKGROUND: The theoretical framework Fundamentals of Care includes the basic parts of a patient's care needs divided into different dimensions. One dimension is establishing a care relationship. Previous research sheds light on treatment and care relationships based on nurses and nurse specialists in different care contexts. The meeting in the perioperative care context is often short, where the nurse specialist must work to gain the patient's trust and gain an understanding of the patient. There is a knowledge gap regarding how the dimension of establishing a care relationship in perioperative care between the nurse specialist in the perioperative practice and the patient is established. PURPOSE: To investigate how establishment of a care relationship, based on Fundamentals of Care, takes place between the nurse specialist and the patient during the perioperative period. METHOD: Literature review with a systematic approach based on qualitative articles. Deductive content analysis according to Elo and Kyngäs. RESULTS: The results showed that parts of the FoC dimension establishing a care relationship can be found in the clinical work. Creating trust, being present and anticipating needs were found in the majority of the articles. Obtain knowledge and reflect and evaluate were main areas that perceived as deficient. There was a desire for continuity in the perioperative care relationship. One aspect that affected this was the lack of time that often existed. CONCLUSION: The nurse specialist establishes a care relationship with the patient on a daily basis, which can be applied in FoC's dimension to establish a care relationship. The nurse specialist had a desire for continuity in care and to be able to follow the patient with pre- intra- and postoperative meetings. Applying FoC in a clinical environment could enable the nurse specialist through an adapted way of work, gain the opportunity for continuity in the care relationship, which could benefit the patient.

Abstract:

There are many terms used to describe pressure ulcers: pressure sores, decubitus ulcers, bedsores, and pressure necrosis or ischaemic ulcers. Essentially they all describe damage to the patient's skin and underlying tissue. The nursing literature abounds with information about the risk, grading, prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers. These ulcers are a problem in hospital and long term care facilities, and are a major cause of morbidity. In the hospital setting they contribute to an extended length of stay and by doing so 'block' the bed for use by another patient. The ulcers are difficult to treat, are an ongoing cause for pain and discomfort for the patient and can be a strain on hospital finances. Pressure ulcers are not unique to modern times, as they have been discovered on the remains of an Egyptian mummified body (Armstrong & Bortz 2001). This would suggest that the problem dates back to the Pharoahs, and has continued to be a challenging problem throughout the centuries (Bridel 1992). The escalating costs of treating these ulcers today, has brought about an emphasis on the risk factors, prevention and the appropriate interventions, rather than an acceptance of these ulcers as a tolerable ondition (Bridel 1992). In the operating room, nurses are faced with unique challenges when caring for their patients. This is due to difficulty in caring for patients under the influence of the anaesthesia required for surgery, long periods of forced immobility and the inability of the patient to perceive pain and discomfort from the pressure of the hard surface of the operating room table. These problems are increased by nurses' inability to gain access to the patient because of the sterile drapes required to cover the patient for surgery. Armstrong and Bortz (2001) present information from one study in which it is stated that surgical patients have 90% greater chance of developing pressure ulcers than medical patients. One reason for this may be due to the limited information available in regard to the most effective support surface to place on top of the operating room table. This gap in information is problematic for operating room nurses as it limits their ability to select the most effective item of equipment, and determine if the chosen equipment reduces pressure on tissue intra- operatively. The most effective operating room table mattress used and the skills and knowledge of the operating room nurse about the aetiology and prevention of pressure ulcer prevention, are important aspects of nursing care and can influence patient outcomes. The potential for complications to occur may be dependent on single or combined factors such as the patient's age, disease processes, nutritional status and mobility. Preparatory and supportive nursing interventions for surgical procedures based on best available evidence, nursing experience and patient preference, can reduce the incidence of pressure ulcer development in the perioperative environment. This doctoral portfolio contains four separate sections related and linked together by a common theme - pressure ulcer prevention in the perioperative environment. This first section of the portfolio situates the topic and provides a brief overview of the portfolio. The second section is a critical review of the literature pertaining to the most commonly used operating room table mattresses, and the effectiveness of these mattresses in the prevention of pressure ulcer development. This review highlighted a lack of quality research in this area, and while many evaluations have been undertaken to determine the effectiveness of perating room table mattresses, the results are contradictory concerning the patients, exposures and interventions. Because of issues related to the methodological quality of published research in this area a systematic review using meta- analysis was not possible rather a critical review of the research literature is used. The third section of the portfolio reports on a hermeneutic ethnography of the perceived skills and knowledge of nurses in the prevention of pressure ulcer development in the perioperative environment. This study was designed to determine if pressure ulcer prevention forms an aspect of the everyday practice of perioperative nurses. This review has highlighted the need for operating room nurses to review practices when caring for patients in the perioperative environment particularly in respect of pressure ulcer prevention. The fourth and final section of the portfolio summarises the research and provides recommendations for nursing practice and further research in the area of pressure ulcer prevention in the perioperative environment.

Abstract:

Perioperative registered nurses (RNs) are vital to the provision of safe patient care for those undergoing invasive and surgical procedures within acute care settings. Unrealistic transition-to-practice (T2P) expectations for novice RNs (newly licensed and experienced RNs new to perioperative nursing) have resulted in significant turnover and attrition rates as high as 45%. A T2P program, known as the Perioperative Orientation, Education, and Mentoring (POEM) program, was developed to address attrition and turnover through mentoring and professional development. The POEM program was a pilot program implemented at a large academic medical center. An evaluation tool known as the Surgical Skill Assessment Tool was developed to evaluate the POEM program. A preintervention score of 56 and a postintervention score of 237 demonstrate an increase in experience, skill, and knowledge acquisition. Content data analysis revealed themes and subthemes from each of the 2 focus groups as well as recommendations from the quality improvement (QI) project leader and project coleader. The recommendations include developing a nurse extern program, advertising and promoting perioperative nursing to local nursing schools, supporting the clinical advisor program, encouraging involvement in the local Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) chapter, and mentoring novice RNs and RN clinical advisors. The need to evaluate strategies for improvement, recruitment, and retention is critical to sustain the perioperative nursing workforce. Further research is necessary to refine the POEM program and to understand the role of professional mentoring in facilitating a smooth T2P for novice nurses entering perioperative services.

Abstract:

The purpose of this case study was to determine which activities factor into transformational learning that may occur as a result of completing a perioperative preparation program for registered nurses. Through the process of describing the lived experiences of the participants who have completed a perioperative nurse training program, it also assisted in informing pedagogical practice by helping to establish the extent of transformational learning that occurs. The role of a perioperative nurse is one that is demanding, knowledge intensive, and highly collaborative. Perioperative nurse educators need to understand the process of transformation in order to assist new perioperative nurses in successfully completing a perioperative nurse-training program. The Learning Activities Survey, a follow-up survey, and individual interviews were used to accomplish a mixed method sequential study design. The research established that half of the participants had experienced transformational learning while half did not.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Bristande kommunikation är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till vårdskador. Bristande kommunikation orsakar lidande för den enskilde patienten och en ökad belastning på vården med exempelvis extra vårddygn. Kommunikation och informationsöverföring är av Socialstyrelsen identifierat som ett riskområde i vården. Flera studier samt nationella och internationella myndigheter rekommenderar standardiserade verktyg vid överrapportering. Den kirurgiska patienten är särskilt utsatt och råkar oftare ut för vårdskador. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva vad anestesi-, operations-, och postoperativa sjuksköterskor upplever och fokuserar på vid överrapportering från operationsavdelning till postoperativ avdelning. Metod: Fokusgruppsintervjustudie, materialet har analyserats med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Studien bestod av tre fokusgruppsintervjuer med tre deltagare i varje grupp. Resultat: Studiens resultat består av tre teman, innehåll, struktur och miljö. Innehåll består av den information som respektive fokusgrupp anser är viktig vid en överrapportering. Struktur beskriver på vilket sätt överrapporteringen sker. Överrapporteringen följer en informell struktur ibland med stöd av olika journalhandlingar. Miljö beskriver den kontext där överrapporteringen sker. Överrapporteringsmiljön upplevdes i många fall som stökig med flera distraherande moment. Slutsats: Samtliga sjuksköterskor upplevde överrapporteringssituationen på liknande sätt. Vad beträffade den innehållsmässiga och strukturella delen av rapporten upplevdes den av samtliga fokusgrupper som adekvat. Den miljömässiga aspekten av överrapporteringen upplevdes av samtliga som ett område med förbättringsmöjligheter.
Background: Communication failure is one of the most common causes for medical injuries. Every year lack in communication causes suffering for the patient and an increased burden on healthcare, for example trough extra care days. Communication and information transfer are identified by the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) as a risk area in healthcare. The surgical patient is particularly vulnerable and prone to medical injuries. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe what anesthesia-, operating room- and postoperative care unit nurses experience and focus on in a handoff from the surgical unit to the postoperative care unit. Method: A focusgroup interview study was conducted; the data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The study consisted of three focusgroups, with three participants in each group. Result: The results of the study consists of three themes, content, structure and environment. Content entails the information that the focusgroups believes is important in an handoff. Structure describes how the handoff is done. The handoff follows an informal structure, sometimes with the support of various medical records. Environment describes the context in which the handoff is done. The handoff environment was perceived in many cases as messy with multiple distractions. Conclusion: All of the nurses described the handoff situation similarly. The content and structural part of the handoff was perceived by all of the focusgroups as adequate. The environmental aspect of the handoff was perceived by all as the area with most improvement possibilities.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Enligt Socialstyrelsens drabbas ca 110 000 patienter eller 8% av alla i den somatiska sjukhusvården av en vårdskada. En vårdskada är en undvikbar skada och patientsäkerhet är då att skydda patienten mot denna skada. En operationsavdelning är en komplex enhet med högteknologisk utrustning där många specialiteter och yrkeskategorier ska samordnas och arbeta i team för att patienten ska få en säker vård. Operationssjuksköterskan ska arbeta för en god och patientsäker perioperativ omvårdnad. Kärnan i operationssjuksköterskans omvårdnadsarbete är att säkerställa patientens säkerhet under operation och att arbeta förebyggande genom att tänka på allt som kan gå fel under en operation. Men vad som tillhör operationssjuksköterskans ansvarsområde och hur vederbörande kan säkerställa patientsäkerhet inom perioperativ omvårdnad behöver belysas och analyseras bättre.Syfte: Att belysa operationssjuksköterskans uppfattning om patientsäkerhet inom perioperativ omvårdnad i en svensk kontext.Metod: Kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med 14 operationssjuksköterskor på ett mellanstort sjukhus i Södra Sverige. Intervjuernas innehåll analyserades med innehållsanalys.Resultat: Följande kategorier framkom i resultatet; Klinisk kompetens, Kommunikation, Vårdmiljö och Kompetensutveckling med elva underkategorier. Dessa kategorier reflekterade hur operationssjuksköterskorna uppfattade patientsäkerhet i förhållande till sin roll och ansvarsområden inom den perioperativa omvårdnaden.Slutsats: Resultatet indikerar att operationssjuksköterskan uppfattar att det huvudsakliga ansvarsområdet inom perioperativ omvårdnad är hygien och att bevara steriliteten och inom detta område försöker arbeta för att förhindra vårdskador och ge patienten en säker vård. Det finns dock omständigheter i organisationen på operationsavdelningen, i teamet och bristande respekt för operationssjuksköterskans kompetens som försvårar det arbetet.
Background: The National Board of Health and Welfare estimates that 110 000 patients or 8% of all patients in the somatic hospital care are affected by health care errors. A health care error is an avoidable damage and patient safety are defined to protect patient against damage. An operation theatre is a complex environment with advanced technical equipment. Interdisciplinary groups of health professionals work together in teams to deliver safe care for the patients. The operating theatre nurse shall work to give the patient safe perioperative nursing. The core of their work is to ensure patient safety during surgery, managing risks and preventing harm. However, to analyze and illuminate the responsibility of the operating theatre nurses work to secure patient safety during perioperative nursing seems to be scarcely investigated.Aim: The aim of this study was to illuminate the operating theatre nurses perceptions of patient safety in perioperative nursing in a Swedish context.Method: Qualitative semi structured interviews were conducted with 14 operating theatre nurses in a hospital in the South of Sweden. The data was analyzed using content analysis.Results: These categories were identified in the results; clinical competence, communication, care environment and skills development with eleven subcategories. These categories reflected how the operating theatre nurses perceived patient safety related to their role and responsibility in perioperative nursing.Conclusion: The result indicates that these operating theatre nurse perceive that the main responsibility in perioperative nursing is hygiene and to preserve sterility. Furthermore, work to prevent health care error and to give the patient safe care. There are circumstances in the organization of the operation theatre, in the team and lack of respect for the operating theatre nurses competence that complicates that work.

Abstract:

Caring is emerging as an important concept for the nursing profession especially within the perioperative arena (Bickler, 1994; McNamara, 1995; Rawnsley, 1990). The purposes of this study were to investigate: (a) the relationship between perioperative nurse associates' values and caring behaviors; and (b) the relationship between perioperative nurse associates' perceptions of own demonstrated caring behaviors to demonstrated caring behaviors of nurse managers.The study was based upon Watson's (1985) model of Human Caring. The instruments used were Staub's (1989) Values Questionnaire and Nkongho's (1990) Caring Ability Inventory. A demographic profile of study participants was obtained. The population included all nurses (48,000) who were members of the Association of Operating Room Nurses (AORN). The sample consisted of 300 randomly selected non-managerial perioperative nurse associates obtained from the membership list of AORN.A cover letter explaining the study along with a demographic questionnaire and three survey instruments were mailed to the 300 perioperative associates at their home address. The surveys were returned to the investigator by mail in a furnished self-addressed stamped envelope (n=96). Procedures for human subject protection were followed.A descriptive correlation design and descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Perioperative nurses identified three recurring themes as suggestions for incorporating caring behaviors by nurse managers; (a) improved communication skills; (b) increased accessibility; and (c) empowerment of nurses. Findings showed a moderately positive and significant relationship between values and caring behaviors supporting Watson's Theory of Human Care (1985). Results showed no relationship of caring behaviors between nurse associates and nurse managers. However, the data did reveal that nurse associates perceived themselves as more caring than the nurse managers.

Abstract:

Operationssjuksköterskan verkar i en tekniskt avancerad miljö och arbetar aktivt att förebygga risker och vårdrelaterade skador genom att planera och dokumentera patientens vård utifrån en omvårdnadsprocess. Utebliven eller bristfällig dokumentation av tyst kunskap kan påverka patientsäkerheten negativt då utförda handlingar inte är spårbara i patientens journal och osynliggör operationssjuksköterskans kompetens för omvårdnad. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva operationssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av dokumentation av perioperativa omvårdnadsåtgärder utifrån patientsäkerhet. Metod: Kvalitativ metod med induktiv ansats där femton semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med operationssjuksköterskor. Materialet tolkades utifrån konventionell innehållsanalys. Resultat: Materialet resulterade i tre kategorier: Tekniska förutsättningar, Ett personligt- och delat ansvar och Meningsfullheten med dokumentationen. Kategorierna beskriver operationssjuksköterskans erfarenheter kring dokumentation med olika känslor och förbättringsförslag lyfts och redovisas. Konklusion: Studien visar att operationssjuksköterskans dokumentation kan kompletteras i form av muntlig rapportering till postoperativa avdelningen för att stärka, upprätthålla patientsäkerheten och för att synliggöra operationssjuksköterskans kompetens för omvårdnad och motverka tyst kunskap. Mycket av rutinerna kring dokumentationen är relaterat till kulturen på arbetsplatsen vilket operationssjuksköterskorna var medvetna om och ville förändra. Det visade sig även att dokumentationen var något som operationssjuksköterskan själv kunde påverka genom att prioritera och skapa goda förutsättningar för samarbete med assistenten på sal.
The theatre nurse works in a technologically advanced environment and works actively to prevent risks and health-related injuries by planning and documenting the patient's care based on a nursing process. Missing or deficient documentation of tacit knowledge that can adversely affect patient safety as performed actions are not traceable in the patient's journal and invisible to the theatre nurses’ expertise in nursing. Aim: The aim was to describe the theatre nurses’ experiences of documentation of perioperative nursing from patient safety. Method: Qualitative method with inductive approach and fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted. The material was interpreted based on conventional content analysis. Result: The material resulted in three categories: Technical conditions, A personal and shared responsibility, and the Meaningfulness of the documentation. The categories describe the operations nurse’s experiences regarding documentation with different emotions and improvement suggestions are raised and reported. Conclusion: The study shows that the theatre nurses’ documentation can be reinforced in the form of verbal reporting to the post-anaesthesia care unit to strengthen and maintain patient safety, and to make visible the nurse competence for nursing where tacit knowledge emerges. Much of the routines around the documentation are related to the culture in the workplace, which the theatre nurses were aware of and wanted to change. It also turned out that the documentation was something that the operating nurse herself could influence by prioritizing and creating good conditions for and collaboration with the assistant on ward.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Anestesi- och operationssjuksköterskor arbetar i en komplex miljö. För att öka effektiviteten infördes ett effektivitetssalskoncept på en klinik. Flera sätt att öka effektiviteten beskrivs i litteraturen, få studier har dock berört sjuksköterskornas upplevelser av att arbeta enligt liknande koncept. Syftet: Var att undersöka hur anestesi- och operationssjuksköterskor upplevde det perioperativa omvårdnadsarbetet när det sker inom effektivitetssalskonceptets ramar. Metod: En kvalitativ induktiv pilotstudie genomfördes, ett ändamålsenligt urval användes och fyra stycken specialistsjuksköterskor deltog i studien. Enskilda intervjuer genomfördes med öppna frågor. Data analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Upplevelsen av omvårdnadsarbetet när det skedde enligt effektivitetssalskonceptet var behäftat med känslor av tillfredsställelse och glädje, bland annat över att operationsköerna kortades av. Vikten av kommunikation, samordning och samarbete framträdde tydligt. Bristande kommunikation kunde leda till ineffektivitet och förvirring. Arbetssättet krävde och främjade samarbete inom operationslaget. Ökad kontinuitet beskrevs både i kontakt med kollegor och med patienter. Vissa nackdelar som rörde tidsdisponering och de fysiska lokalerna beskrevs. Slutsats: Arbete enligt effektivtetssalskonceptet var i hög grad beroende av kommunikation, samarbete och samordning. Fungerade detta kunde det leda till ökad arbetstillfredsställelse och kontinuitet i den perioperativa omvårdnaden. Kommunikationsbrister inverkade negativt på effektiviteten. Klinisk betydelse: Pilotstudien utgjorde en del i ett underlag för utveckling av effektivitetssalskonceptet på den aktuella kliniken. Med kunskap om hur omvårdnadsarbetet påverkades kunde förbättringsarbetet underlättas.
Background: Anesthesia and operating room nurses are working in a complex environment. To reduce surgical queues and increase efficiency, an efficiency model was introduced at a clinic. Several ways to increase efficiency are described in the literature, few studies have concerned nurses' experiences of working according to similar concepts. The aim: Was to examine how the anesthesia and operating room nurses experienced the perioperative nursing care when it took place within the frames of an efficiency model. Method: A qualitative inductive pilot study was conducted. An appropriate selection were used and four specialist nurses participated in the study. Interviews were conducted with open questions. Content analysis was carried out. Results: The experience of nursing care when it is done according to the efficiency model was beset with feelings of satisfaction and joy, among other things that the surgery waiting lists could be shortened. The importance of communication, coordination and cooperation was clearly apparent. Lack of communication could lead to inefficiency and confusion. The approach required and promoted collaboration within the surgical team. Increased continuity was described both in contact with colleagues and patients. Some drawbacks concerning time disposition and the physical premises was described. Conclusion: Work according to the efficiency model was to a large extent dependent on communication, cooperation and coordination. Did this work it might have lead to increased job satisfaction and continuity of the perioperative nursing care. Communication shortcomings adversely affected efficiency. Clinical significance: The pilot study may be part of a basis for developing the efficiency model at the current clinic. With knowledge of how nursing care is affected, the improvement work is facilitated.

Abstract:

Knowledge of surgical procedures, instruments, and supplies is essential to the perioperative nurse working in the operating room (OR). Nursing school curricula do not specifically educate surgical nurses; therefore, it is difficult to fill open OR positions with experienced perioperative nurses. The purpose of this doctoral project was to develop a perioperative educational program for RNs newly hired in the OR. The practice-focused question asked whether an evidence-based staff education program for the novice perioperative nurse would increase the nurse's knowledge of OR procedures and protocols for patient management. The novice-to-expert framework was used to explore how adult learners acquire knowledge. Five experts were asked to review the educational program for its content, readability, length, and learner objectives using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 8 questions. Experts strongly agreed that the program content met learner objectives. The program was then presented to 4 novice nurses with a pretest/posttest consisting of 5 fill-in-the-blank questions. Pretest results showed 1 of 5 questions were answered correctly by all participants. Posttest results showed all questions were answered correctly by all participants. The educational program has the potential to create a positive social change through increased nurses' knowledge of OR procedures, which might promote improved surgical care and outcomes for patients.

Abstract:

Det är en unik upplevelse att bli opererad med lokalanestesi och vara vaken under ett operativt ingrepp. Patienten överlämnas till vårdpersonalen och är beroende av deras omhändertagande och kunskap. Kontinuerlig information under ingreppet samt ett gott bemötande från personalen kring patienten är avstor vikt för att skapa en trygg miljö och ge god omvårdnad. Syftet med studien var att beskriva patienters upplevelse och känslor av den perioperativa omvårdnaden när de var vakna under ett operativt ingrepp. Fyra intervjuer med konsekutivt utvalda patienter som genomgått operationen på sjukhus i sydvästra Sverige inkluderades i studien. Öppna, övergripande frågor samt följdfrågor användes under intervjuerna. Kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes. Analysen ledde till tre kategorier; tidigare upplevelser av vården, omvårdnad kring operationen samt känslor som uppstod under operationen. Tidigare erfarenhet samt personalens omvårdnad gav trygghet i de aktuella operationerna. Känslorna som uppstod under en vaken operation var både positiva och negativa. Resultatet kan bidra tillvidare utveckling och förbättring av den perioperativa omvårdnaden kring envaken patient.
Being awake during surgery is a unique experience. The patient is handed over to the nursing staff and is dependent on their care and knowledge. Continuous information during surgery and professional care from the nursing staff is important to create a safe environment and provide good healthcare. The aim of the study was to describe the patient’s experience and feelings of the perioperative nursing care when being awake during surgery. Four interviews with consecutively selected patients who had undergone surgery in a hospital in the south west of Sweden were included. Open, general questions and supplementary questions were used during the interviews. Qualitative content analyz was used. The analyz resulted in three categories: past experiences of care, care during the surgery and feelings that occurred during the operation. Previous experience and the care provided by the nurses gave patients the feelings of security. Both negative and positive feeling occurred during surgery. The results may contribute to further development and improvement of the perioperative nursing care on patients that are awake during surgery.

Abstract:

Introduktion: Operationssjuksköterskor i den perioperativa vården möter ofta barn som ska genomgå en operation. Krav på produktion och rutiner styr att det första mötet sker med anestesisjuksköterskan och därmed blir operationssjuksköterskans möte med barnet mer begränsat. Detta kan medföra svårigheter att skapa en vårdrelation med barnet och att planera omvårdnaden utifrån barnets behov. Syfte: Studien syftade till att beskriva hur operationssjuksköterskor kunde uppleva omvårdnad riktat till barn i relation till den perioperativa vården. Metod: En kvalitativ deskriptiv studie genomfördes utifrån ett bekvämlighetsurval och 13 verksamma operationssjuksköterskor intervjuades. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys enligt Graneheim & Lundman (2004). Resultat: Analysen av intervjumaterialet resulterade i tre kategorier: Vikten av att anpassa vården utifrån krav på produktion, vikten av kommunikation och vikten av erfarenhet och kompetens. Kategorierna beskrev operationssjuksköterskors olika upplevelser av deras omvårdnad av barn i förhållande till rutiner anpassat till barns behov, samarbeten och erfarenheter inom perioperativ vård. Konklusion: Studien visade att operationssjuksköterskor upplevde att omvårdnaden styrdes av produktion, tid och resurser, vilket kunde leda till att barnets bästa och säkerhet äventyrades. De använde sig av kreativa lösningar, medmänsklighet, kompetens, samarbete och föräldrars stöd. De upplevde behov av utbildning och förbättringsarbeten.
Introduction: Theatre nurses in perioperative care often meet children who are to undergo surgery. Requirements for production and routines govern that the first meeting takes place with the anesthesia nurse and thus the theatre nurse meeting with the child becomes more limited. This can lead to difficulties in creating a care relationship with the child and in planning the care based on the child's needs. Aim: To describe theatre nurses experiences of nursing directed to children in relation to perioperative care. Method: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted based on a convenience sample and 13 active theatre nurses were interviewed. The interview material was analyzed with a qualitative content analysis according to Graneheim & Lundman (2004). Results: The analysis of the interview material resulted in three categories: The importance of adapting care based on production requirements, the importance of communication and the importance of experience and competence. The categories described the theatre nurse´s different experiences of their care for children in relation to routines adapted to children's needs, collaborations and experiences in perioperative care. Conclusion: The study showed that theatre nurses felt that nursing was governed by production, time and resources, which could lead to the child's best interests and safety being jeopardized. They used creative solutions, compassion, competence, cooperation and parental support. They experienced a need for education and improvement work.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Regional anestesi innebär att patienten är vaken men bedövad under det kirurgiska ingreppet. Detta blir allt vanligare då metoden innebär flertalet fördelar, både medicinsk och ur ett patientperspektiv. Det är anestesisjuksköterskans uppgift att se till att patienten känner sig trygg under det kirurgiska ingreppet. Tidigare forskning visar på att sjuksköterskan under regional anestesi bör vara närvarande, engagerad och hela tiden ha kontakt med patienten. Genom att aktivt lyssna och kommunicera samt ge god information uppnås en bra kontakt. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka patientens perioperativa upplevelse vid regional anestesi. Metod: För denna studie valdes en kvalitativ inriktning med deskriptiv ansats. Ett lämplighetsurval gjordes på en ortopedavdelning med patienter som genomgått en operation i regional anestesi. Tio patienter inkluderades i studien. Semistrukturerade intervjuer med delvis öppna frågor användes. Intervjuerna analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i fyra teman samt sex kategorier. Dessa teman var; Att uppleva negativa känslor, Preoperativa tankar, Perioperativ kommunikation samt professionellt bemötande. Kategorierna bestod av upplevelse av smärta och obehag, känslan av nervositet och övergivenhet, förväntningar, önskemål och delaktighet, information, känsla av säkerhet och trygghet samt att få ett bra bemötande. Slutsats: Denna studie, i enlighet med tidigare forskning visar på att patienter i högre grad upplevde trygghet vid regional anestesi när anestesisjuksköterskan informerar och hela tiden är närvarande hos patienten. Är anestesisjuksköterskan frånvarande minskar patientens känsla av trygghet och den regionala anestesin kan bli en negativ upplevelse.
Background: Regional anesthesia is becoming more common in surgical procedures, as the method involves several benefits, both from the patient's perspective and from a medical perspective. It is the task of the nurse anesthesia to ensure that the patient feels safe. Previous research shows that the nurse anesthesia should be present, committed and constantly in contact with the patient. By actively listening and communicating as well as providing valuable information, a good contact is achieved. If the nurse anesthetist is successful in this, the experience of regional anesthesia can be a good one. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the patient's perioperative experience in regional anesthesia. Methods: A qualitative study with a descriptive approach. An aptitude selection was conducted in an orthopedic department with patients undergoing surgery in regional anesthesia. Ten patients were included in the study. Semi-structured interviews with partially open questions were used. The interviews were analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in four themes as well as six categories. These themes were; To experience negative feelings, Preoperative thoughts, Perioperative communication as well as Professional treatment. The categories consisted of experience of pain and discomfort, feeling of nervousness and abandonment, expectations, wishes and participation, information, a sense of safety and security, and to get a good treatment. Conclusions: Previous research shows, as does this study, that a nurse anesthesia who informs and is constantly present at the operation room will make the patient feel safer. If the nurse anesthesia is absenting the patient's sense of safety decreases and regional anesthesia can be a negative experience.

Abstract:

Många patienter blir hypoterma under den perioperativa vården. Det finns en mängd åtgärder som kan vidtas för att minska oönskad hypotermi. Pre- och intraoperativ uppvärmning med värmetäcke, varmt på operationssalen, cirkelsystem och användning av varma infusioner kan vara en bra kombination. Oavsett vilken terapi som används är normotermi alltid högt prioriterat. Det handlar om patientsäkerhet. Genom att effektivt motverka hypotermi skulle möjligheten öka till snabbare återhämtning, färre postoperativa infektioner, mindre kostnader för sjukhuset och minskat lidande för patienter. Syftet med studien var att undersöka anestesisjuksköterskans upplevelser av att förebygga perioperativ hypotermi hos vuxna elektiva patienter. En kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv ansats gjordes inom problemområdet. Insamlingen av data gjordes genom intervjuer som spelades in. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I resultatet framkommer att, även om normotermi är målet och ambitionen finns, är det många faktorer som spelar in hur vida de hypotermiförebyggande åtgärderna når framgång. Det krävs en god planering samt erfarenhet av förebyggande arbete. Att mätmetoderna är ifrågasatta kan bidra till att mätning inte alltid utförs. Avsaknad av riktlinjer kring hypotermiförebyggande åtgärder bidrar till oklarheter för vårdpersonalen. Alla de olika personalkategorierna kring en operation tenderar att fokusera på sina egna uppgifter. En stor ansvarskänsla samt till viss del ensamhetskänsla i besluten, om vilka åtgärder som skall vidtas samt när finns hos anestesisjuksköterskan. När patienten blir kall trots att anestesisjuksköterskan har gjort allt kan det upplevas som ett misslyckande att inte räcka till. När patienten anländer kall till uppvaket kan anestesisjuksköterskan känna skuld till patientens tillstånd samt lidandet det medför. Strävan är att patienten ska må bra även postoperativt. Genom att informera patienten om varför det är nödvändigt att det tillförs extra värme gör att patienten blir delaktig i omvårdnaden. Anestesisjuksköterskan upplever att värmda täcken, strumpor samt mössa gör patienten mindre spänd samt stressad. På så vis ökar man patientens upplevs av välbefinnandet.

Abstract:

Introduktion: Operationssjuksköterskan ansvarar för en god och patientsäker perioperativ omvårdnad. Preoperativ personcentrerad information är en förutsättning för att kunna tillgodose patientens unika behov och främja kontinuitet i vården. Patientens individuella riskfaktorer är väsentligt för operationssjuksköterskan att känna till för att kunna förebygga vårdskador och genomföra en patientsäker perioperativ vård. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva operationssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att inhämta information för att skapa patientkännedom i den perioperativa vården. Metod: En kvalitativ studiedesign med en induktiv ansats tillämpades. Tio operationssjuksköterskor på ett länssjukhus i Sverige intervjuades. Intervjuerna spelades in och transkriberades i sin helhet. Innehållsanalys valdes som metod för dataanalys. Resultat: Två generiska kategorier framkom: Ta del av skriftlig information om patienten och Det preoperativa mötet med patienten. Dessa bildar tillsammans den övergripande huvudkategorin Förutsättning för personcentrerad och patientsäker perioperativ vård. Till den generiska kategorin Ta del av skriftlig information om patienten hör subkategorierna Att inhämta grundläggande kunskap och Att prioritera och ta vara på möjligheter. Till den generiska kategorin Det preoperativa mötet med patienten hör subkategorierna Att träffa och tala med patienten och Att skapa förutsättningar för samtal. Konklusion: Resultatet bidrar med fördjupade kunskaper kring vad som är väsentligt att veta om patienten i den perioperativa vården och varför det är viktig information, utifrån operationssjuksköterskans perspektiv. Både skriftlig information och ett preoperativt möte med patienten behövs för att skapa förutsättning för personcentrerad och patientsäker perioperativ vård. Resultatet tyder på att det behövs ett förändrat arbetssätt för att möjliggöra skapandet av god kännedom om varje enskild patient och på så sätt öka patientsäkerheten.
Introduction: The operating room nurse is responsible for a good and safe perioperative care. Preoperative person-centered information is a prerequisite to meet the patient´s unique needs and promote continuity of care. The patient´s individual risk factors are essential for the operating room nurse to know in order to prevent hospital acquired injuries and to accomplish safe perioperative care. Aim: The aim was to describe operating room nurses´ experiences of obtaining information to create knowledge of the patient in perioperative care. Method: A qualitative study with an inductive approach was conducted. Ten operating room nurses at a hospital in Sweden were interviewed. The interviews were recorded and transcribed. Content analysis was chosen as the method of data analysis. Result: Two generic categories emerged: Read written information about the patient and The preoperative meeting with the patient. These generic categories together form the main category Prerequisite for person-centered and safe perioperative care. The generic category Read written information about the patient includes the subcategories To acquire basic knowledge and To prioritize and to seize opportunities. The generic category The preoperative meeting with the patient includes the subcategories To meet and talk with the patient and To create conditions for conversation. Conclusion: The findings contribute to a deeper knowledge of what is essential to know about the patient in perioperative care and why this is important information, from the operating room nurse´s perspective. Both written information and a preoperative meeting with the patient are required to create prerequisite for person-centered and safe perioperative care. The results indicate a need of change in the way of working to enable good knowledge of each patient, and thereby increase patient safety in perioperative care.

Abstract:

Introduktion: Patienter kan drabbas av vårdskador i samband med positionering med operation. Det är operationssjuksköterskan som tillsammans med operationsteamet ansvarar för patientens positionering. Syftet med studien var att beskriva operationssjuksköterskor uppfattningar av vårdåtgärder som utförs i samband med positionering av patient i benstöd. Metod: Studien har genomförts med kvalitativ metod och datainsamlingsmetod var enskilda intervjuer. Databearbetning har genomförts med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i två kategorier med tillhörande sex subkategorier. Den första kategorin visar att vårdåtgärder som operationssjuksköterskor utför i samband med positionering är anpassade efter patientens kroppsliga förutsättningar och behov. Den andra kategorin visar att operationssjuksköterskor tar ansvar för och kontrollerar att positioneringen utförs med bästa möjliga avlastning att tryck och sträckning undviks. Det framkommer vidare att riktlinjer fyller en viktig funktion för att tiden i benstöden inte skall överskridas. Det är viktigt att operationsteamet samarbetar för att söka lösningar som passar patienten. Slutsats: Denna studie visar att för en lyckad positionering i benstöd behöver hänsyn tas till patientens kroppsbyggnad och behov. Ett pre- och intraoperativt samtal ger kunskap om behov som patienten har inför positioneringen. Studien visar att operationssjuksköterskor tar ansvar för och kontrollerar att positioneringen utförs på riktigt sätt och bevakar att tiden i begränsas genom att följa riktlinjer. De kontrollerar positioneringen innan drapering sker och har en handlingsberedskap under hela operationen för att skydda patienten. Vid begränsningar att ligga i benstöd provas läget ut tillsammans med patienten innan spinalbedövningen ges för att förhindra att skador uppstår. Studien visar vidare att patientens delaktighet är viktig för att uppnå bästa möjliga avlastning i samband med positioneringen samt att hela operationsteamet samarbetar och bidrar med nya flexibla lösningar på problem som uppstår.
Introduction: Patients may suffer from medical injuries associated with surgery positioning. There is the theatre nurse together with the operating team who is responsible for the patients positioning. The aim of the study was to describe theatre nurses perceptions of nursing interventions conjunction with the positioning of the patient in leg bearer. Method: The study was conducted using qualitative methodology and data collection method was individual interviews. Data processing was carried out with qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in two categories with the associated six subcategories. The first category shows that health interventions performed by the theatre nurses is adopted for the patients’ physical conditions and needs. The second category shows that theatre nurses take responsibility for and control the positioning that it is carried with the best possible relief of pressure and tension are avoided. It proves that guidelines serves an important function to prevent the time in leg bearer from being exceeded. It is important that the operating team working together to find solutions. Conclusion: This study shows that for a successful positioning in the leg bearer need to take account of patient's body conditions and needs. A pre- and intraoperative dialogue provides knowledge about the patients’ needs prior to positioning. The study shows that theatre nurses take responsibility for and make sure that positioning is carried out properly and monitor the time in restricted following the guidelines. They control the positioning before draping is done and has a readiness to act throughout the surgery to protect the patient. When limitations to lie in the leg bearer the position are tried out together with the patient before spinal anesthesia is given to prevent damage. The study further shows that the patient's participation is important for achieving the best possible relief in connection with the positioning and that the whole operating team collaborates and contributes with new flexible solutions to problems.

Abstract:

Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Perioperativ omvårdnad omfattar den vård patienten får både pre-, intra- och postoperativt. Sjuksköterskor har ett brett ansvar gentemot sina patienter som är i behov av vård, det är sjuksköterskans ansvar att samarbeta med andra professioner för att kunna bemöta patientens behov och lindra dess lidande. Under den perioperativa omvårdnaden är det väsentligt att arbeta utifrån ett patientsäkert perspektiv, det är sjuksköterskans ansvar att förse patienter med en god- och säker vård. Syfte: Beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av perioperativ omvårdnad. Metod: Inför den här litteraturöversikten valdes en kvalitativ metod med en induktiv ansats, nio stycken artiklar granskades och analyserades utifrån Fribergs femstegsanalys. Resultat: Under den perioperativa omvårdnaden är kommunikation med patienter och annan vårdpersonal viktigast. Dock fann många sjuksköterskor att det inte fanns tillräckligt med tid att förmedla all information till patienterna. Hade patienter någon form att kognitiv diagnos blev det oftast svårare att förmedla informationen, mer tidskrävande och de var inte alltid säkert att patienten hade förstått det som har sagts. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor ansåg även att det krävs ett gott samarbete både med patienten och annan vårdpersonal. Omvårdnaden brister om samarbetet inte fungerar, det skapar ineffektivitet, minskad patientsäkerhet och utformar hierarkier.
Summary Background: Perioperative nursing includes the care the patient receives both pre-, intra- and post-operatively. Nurses have a wide responsibility towards their patients that are in need of care. It’s the nurse's responsibility for collaborating with other professionals to be able to respond to the patient's needs and ease the patients suffering. During perioperative nursing it is essential to work from a patient-safe perspective, it is the nurse's responsibility to provide patients with good and safe care. Aim: Describe nurses' experiences of perioperative nursing. Method: For this literature review, a qualitative method with an inductive approach was selected, 9 articles were reviewed and analyzed based on Friberg's five-step analysis. Outcome: During perioperative nursing, communication with patients and others health professionals is most important. However, many nurses found that there was not enough time to convey all information to the patients. If patients had any form of cognitive diagnosis, it was often more difficult to convey information, more time-consuming and they were not always sure that the patient had understood the information. Conclusion: Nurses also felt that good collaboration is required both with the patient and other staff. Nursing fails if the collaboration does not work, it creates inefficiency, reduces patient safety and creates hierarchies.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Många föräldrar upplever det som jobbigt att närvara på operationssalen, bland det jobbigaste är att se barnet sövas och att därefter gå därifrån. Föräldrarna upplever känslor av hjälplöshet, avsaknad av psykologiskt stöd och bristande kontroll över situationen. Syfte: Att få fördjupad förståelse för föräldrars livsvärld och upplevelser av att inför en operation överlämna sitt barn till operationsteamet, samt hur bemötandet från operationsteamet påverkar dessa upplevelser. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med deskriptiv design och induktiv ansats. Sex föräldrar intervjuades med hjälp av en intervjuguide innehållande semi-strukturerade frågor. Insamlade data analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys och resultatet tolkades ur ett livsvärldsperspektiv. Resultat: I resultatet framkom att föräldrarnas emotionella livsvärld till stor del upptogs av ovisshet och oro för att något skulle gå fel, rädsla för att komplikationer på ett negativt sätt skulle påverka barnets livskvalité i framtiden. Upplevelsen av att överlämna sitt barn till operationsteamet påverkades av vilka förväntningar föräldrarna hade samt deras tidigare erfarenheter gällande mötet med operationssjukvården. Föräldrarnas upplevelser på operationssalen bestod av en oro inför sövningen och de tyckte att det var psykiskt påfrestande att lämna barnet ensam på operationssalen. Däremot var deras generella upplevelse av överlämningen god. Personalens påverkan på föräldrarnas upplevelser var stor. Här framkom vikten av ett gott bemötande och en stödjande dialog samt hur erfaren föräldern uppfattade att personalen var. Slutsats: Föräldrarna upplevde överlämningen som psykiskt påfrestande men kände att det generellt sett gick bra. Personalens stöd och bemötande var viktigt och påverkade föräldrarnas upplevelse av överlämningen i hög grad.
ABSTRACT Background: Many parents find it difficult to be present in the operating theatre, particularly witnessing the child being anaesthetised before then having to leave. Parents experience feelings of helplessness, and a lack of psychological support or control over the situation. Aim: To gain deeper insight into the parental situation, experiences of handing over their child to a surgical team prior to operation, as well as how such teams’ treatment of parents affects their experience. Method: A qualitative interview study with a descriptive design and inductive approach. Six parents were interviewed with the support of an interview guide containing semi-structured questions. Quantitative content analysis was applied to gathered data and the results interpreted from a lifeworld perspective. Results: It was apparent that parents were emotionally occupied by uncertainty and fear about something going wrong, and concern that complications could negatively affect the child’s future quality of life. The handover experience to the surgical team was influenced by parental expectations and prior encounters with surgical care. Parental experiences in the operating theatre consisted of anxiety prior to anaesthetisation and the psychological impact of leaving the child in theatre. However, general handover experiences were good, with surgical teams having substantial influence. Apparent were the importance of considerate treatment, supportive dialogue, and how experienced parents perceived the staff to be. Conclusion: Parents experience handovers as mentally stressful but otherwise felt that they generally went well. How staff supported and treated them was important and substantially affected the parents’ perception of the handover procedure.

Introduction: When using X-ray in the operating room the patient is at risk of health care injury. It is required for the operating theatre nurse to be well informed and has the necessary skills to optimize X-ray use. Purpose: To highlight operating theatre nurses responsibility when using x-ray in surgery. Method: A literature study where scientific research articles was the source of information. The information has then been analyzed and categories and subcategories have been created. Result: Based on ten studies and presented in the form of two main categories and seven subcategories. The first main category ”Creating wellbeing for the patient” consists of the subcategories ”Awareness of the patients vulnerability”, ”Calm and secure environment” and ”Patient information”. The other main category ”Reduce risk of healthcare injury” consists of the subcategories ”Protect the patient”, ”Prepare the work”, ”Patients overall picture” and ”Reduce radiation”. Conclusion: The operating theatre nurse has the ability to influence the care when X-ray is used in surgery, but knowledge and insight about the responsibility is essential.

Abstract:

A projected deficit in the perioperative workforce of 32,000 perioperative nurses retiring by 2024, creates an inability to meet the nursing needs of the United States population. The need for experienced perioperative nurses has been increasing while the availability of nurses with perioperative education has been decreasing. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience of post-licensure nurses who participated in a perioperative clinical rotation within their baccalaureate nursing program and did that experiential experience affect the recruitment and employment for perioperative nursing to halt the impending shortage. The integrations of Kolb’s experiential learning theory and Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy model was the framework that supported the study. Thirteen interviews were conducted using van Manen’s (1990) method for researching the lived experience. The two themes emerging from the data were value and attitude. Subthemes under value are gaining knowledge and skill set and a different type of nursing. Subthemes under attitude are (a) communication with the medical team and advocacy for families and patients. The experiential perioperative clinical rotation affected the study participants’ interest for working in the operating room (OR). Most had a highlighted interest in the specialty, and those participants’ not choosing the OR as their choice of employment expressed that the experience positively affected the type of nurse they are today. Experiential learning can build the fundamental knowledge necessary to understand the novice perioperative nurse’s role as a career choice.

Abstract:

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is primarily identified as a metropolitan disease. However, it has suggested that the Centers for Disease Control may underestimate the prevalence of AIDS in the population of higher socioeconomic status, overstate the relative prevalence of AIDS in the minorities, and understate the prevalence of the disease in the Midwest (Laumann, Gagnon, Michaels, Michael, & Coleman, 1989). The problem addressed in this study was to determine whether groups of urban and rural perioperative registered nurses differ in their attitudes of tolerance toward AIDS patients. The attitudes of rural and urban perioperative nurses were examined in a comparative descriptive design. It is important to identify nurses' attitudes toward AIDS patients because nurses must interact with AIDS patients on an increasing basis.Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) Theory of Cognitive Emotion was used for the framework. A convenience sample of 77 perioperative registered nurses was obtained for the study. Five midwestern hospitals were used to collect the data. Two urban hospitals and three rural hospitals were used as collection sites. The AIDS Attitudes Scale (AAS) was used as the tool to collect the data (Shrum, Turner, and Bruce, 1989). The AAS consists of a fifty-four item questionnaire designed to measure attitudinal tolerance towards the AIDS patient. Validity and reliability of the tool were established with a resulting reliability score of .94.Findings revealed significant differences among urban and rural perioperative registered nurses in attitudes toward AIDS patients (p=.0387), with urban perioperative nurses being more tolerant of AIDS patients. Item-by-item analysis indicated that although urban perioperative nurses were more tolerant, an urban perioperative nurse would be more uncomfortable around a patient with AIDS (p=.0082). However, more rural perioperative nurses indicated that they would move out if a roommate had AIDS (p=.0030). Rural perioperative nurses indicated more often that no one deserved to have a disease like AIDS (p=.0057). Demographic profiles of registered perioperative nurses demonstrated similar backgrounds in relation to age, educational level, and gender.Conclusions of this study indicated urban perioperative registered nurses hold more tolerant attitudes toward HIV/AIDS patients than do rural perioperative registered nurses.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Informationsöverföring sker kontinuerligt i den perioperativa vården. Det anses vara ett riskmoment när patient och information överförs till ny personal och vårdenhet. Kontinuitet, kvalitet, effektivitet och patientsäkerhet uppnås genom att operationssjuksköterskan initierar och genomför adekvat informationsöverföring i samband med patientens kirurgiska ingrepp. Syfte: Var att belysa den perioperativa sjuksköterskans upplevelser av informationsöverföring, pre- och postoperativt. Metod: En litteraturstudie med systematiskt tillvägagångssätt i enlighet med Bettany-Saltikov och McSherry (2016). Resultatet baseras på analysen av tolv kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Resultatet påvisade att det fanns flertalet brister i den perioperativa informationsöverföringen och att den upplevdes som komplex. Resultatet redovisades i tre huvudkategorier; Utspridd och bristfällig information, Förutsättningar för informationsöverföring samt Människans inverkan på informationsöverföring. Slutsats: Många faktorer påverkar informationsöverföringen pre- och postoperativt utifrån den perioperativa sjuksköterskans upplevelser. Då medlemmar av det kirurgiska teamet inte alltid medverkar vid den postoperativa patientöverlämningen finns en risk för att kirurgisk information kan gå förlorad. När informationsöverföringen brister kan det ge upphov till negativa konsekvenser för patienten.
Background: The transfer of information within perioperative care, is a continuous process. When a patient, together with the relevant patient-information is transferred to a new carer and care unit, there is considered to be an element of risk involved. Continuity, quality, efficiency and patient safety will be achieved when the operating theatre nurse initiates and implements an adequate transfer of information, in connection with the patient’s surgical procedure. Aim: To illustrate how perioperative nurses experience the pre and postoperative transfer of information. Method: A systematic literature review in accordance with Bettany-Saltikov and McSherry (2016). The result is based on an analysis of twelve qualitative, scientific articles. Results: The study results demonstrate that there are several deficiencies during the transfer of perioperative information, and that it is perceived as complex. The results are presented in three main categories; Scattered and inadequate information, Prerequisites for information transfer and The human influence on information transfer. Conclusion: Based on the experiences of the perioperative nurses, there are many factors which influence the pre and postoperative transfer of information. As members of the surgical team do not always participate in the postoperative patient handover, there is a risk that surgical information may be lost. There can be negative consequences for the patient when the transfer of information is inadequate.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: En bra kommunikation är en förutsättning för god kvalitet och patientsäkerhet i vården och när två olika system används har vi funderat över vad som händer med omvårdnadsdokumentationen när patienten förflyttas mellan vårdenheterna. Syftet: Vårt syfte med studien var att undersöka om de omvårdnadsåtgärder som operations-sjuksköterskan dokumenterat i operationsplaneringssystemet och rapporterat vidare, återfinns i omvårdnadsjournalen. Metod: En kvalitetsgranskning av journalanteckningar har utförts. Inklusionskriterierna var att patienterna opererats under minst tre timmar och att vårdtiden efter operationen var minst 24 timmar, då det var det första dygnets journalföring som kvalitetsgranskades. Sammanlagt granskades 40 stycken journaler. Resultat: I studien granskades sex stycken sökord ur operationsplaneringssystemet, vilka var; hudstatus, operationsläge, dränage, KAD, förband samt hudsuturer. Studien visade att överföringen av informationen var bristfällig. I en del fall framkommer det att information saknades eller förändrades när patienten förflyttades från operationsavdelningen till vårdavdelningen. Vidare framkom det att patienten förflyttades mer än en gång mellan vårdenheter. Slutsats: Resultatet i vår studie anser vi tyder på att en gemensam standardiserad journal med tydliga riktlinjer skulle underlätta för informationsöverföringen mellan de olika enheterna. Klinisk betydelse: Risken för att fel eller missförstånd uppstår minskar om ett gemensamt journalsystem används, vilket vi anser ökar patientsäkerheten.
Background: Good communication is prerequisite for good quality and patient safety in health care and when two different systems are used, we wondered what happens to the nursing documentation when the patient moves between different care units. Aim: The aim of the study was to examine whether the operation theatre nurses nursing care documentations in the operations planning system was reported on and can be found in the nursing journal. Method: A quality review of nursing care journal documentations was performed. Inclusion criteria was that the patient should have had an operation for at least three hours and aftercare for at least 24 hours, since it was the nursing care documentation that were done during the first day that were being quality reviewed. A total of 40 journals were examined. Results: Six keywords out of the operation planning system were examined, which are; skin status, operation position, drainage, KAD, dressing and skin sutures. Result of the study showed that the transfer of data was incomplete. In some cases it revealed that information was missing or altered when the patient was moved from the surgical ward to the care unit. Furthermore, it was found that the patient was moved more than once between different units. Conclusion: According to our study, we suggest that a common standardized journal with clear guidelines could make it easier to transfer the information between the different units. Clinical significance: Risk of error or misunderstandings are reduced in a common journal system, which we believe increases the patient safety.

Introduktion: Förebyggande och korrekt utförda omvårdnadsåtgärder är en del av operationssjuksköterskans arbete. Operationssjuksköterskan arbetar utifrån den perioperativa vårdprocessen med att planera, genomföra och utvärdera omvårdnadsåtgärder. Återkoppling har visat sig förbättra omvårdnad och utveckla professionen. I litteraturen finns få studier om hur operationssjuksköterskor upplever återkoppling under den perioperativa vårdprocessen. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att beskriva operationssjuksköterskors upplevelse av återkoppling och upplevelse av återkopplingens betydelse för utveckling av professionen. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med semistrukturerade frågor har analyserats med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. 11 operationssjuksköterskor i åldern 26-60 år och med erfarenhet som operationssjuksköterska mellan 7 månader och 36 år inkluderades, alla var kvinnor. Resultat: Operationssjuksköterskorna önskade mer återkoppling både för professionens utveckling i stort och för förbättrad utvärdering av egna utförda omvårdnadsåtgärder. All återkoppling upplevdes positivt. Avsaknad av samarbete mellan vårdenheter påverkade möjligheten till återkoppling negativt. Brist på återkoppling ledde till eget sökande av återkoppling på utförda omvårdnadsåtgärder. Konklusion: Genom återkoppling kan operationssjuksköterskorna få svar på sina utförda omvårdnadsåtgärder. Återkoppling till operationssjuksköterskan behöver implementeras och utvecklas i det dagliga arbetet.
Introduction: Preventive and correctly taken nursing measures is part of the operating theatre nurse´s work. The operating theatre nurse´s work with the perioperative process by planning and implementing the nursing measures and evaluating them. Feedback has been shown to improve the care and develop the profession. There are few studies in the literature about the operating theatre nurses experience of feedback during the perioperative process. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the operating theatre nurse´s experience of feedback and the importance of the feedback for the development of the profession. Method: A qualitative study with semi-structured questions has been analyzed with a qualitative content analysis. 11 operating theatre nurses in the age 26-60 years with the experiences an operating theatre nurse from 7 month to 36 years participated, all were women. Results: The operating theatre nurses experienced that it would be significant with more feedback, both for the development of the profession and to improve the evaluation of taken nursing measures. All feedback was positive. Lack of cooperation between care units affected the possibility of feedback negatively. The lack of feedback led them to seeking feedback of nursing measures by themselves. Conclusion: Through feedback the operating theatre nurses can get answer of their taken nursing measures. The feedback to the operating theatre nurses need to be implemented and develop in the daily work.

Abstract:

Socialstyrelsen beskriver en kommande brist på operationssjuksköterskor i Sverige, samtidigt visar statistik av antal ansökningar till specialistutbildningen att färre sjuksköterskor väljer inriktningen operationssjuksköterska. I litteraturen beskrivs operationssjuksköterskans yrke som dolt för utomstående, och det kan vara en orsak till det låga intresset att välja yrket. Syftet med denna pilotstudie var att beskriva sjuksköterskors uppfattningar om operationssjuksköterskans yrke. Studien är genomförd med kvalitativ induktiv ansats som en intervju med öppen ingångsfråga. Data är analyserat med manifest innehållsanalys. I resultatet framkom tre kategorier, Osynligt och lågt värderat, Medlem i teamet och Praktiskt arbete. Resultatet stämmer överens med tidigare utförd forskning. En större studie är av värde för att få en djupare förståelse av skillnader i uppfattningar. Kunskap om uppfattningen kan underlätta rekrytering av operationssjuksköterskor. Specialistkompetens på operationsavdelningarna ökar förutsättningarna för patienter att få en säker perioperativ omvårdad
National Board of Health and Welfare describes an upcoming shortage of perioperative nurses in Sweden, and statistics show that the number of nurses applying to specialized training in the perioperative field is declining. In the literature, the perioperative nursing profession is described as non-visible to people in general, and that may be a reason for the lack of interest in choosing the profession. The purpose of this pilot study is to describe nursesʹ perceptions of the perioperative nursing profession. The study was conducted using qualitative inductive approach as an interview with open entry question. Data was analyzed by manifest content analysis. The results revealed three categories; Invisible and low valued, Member of the team and Practical work. The result is consistent with prior research conducted. A larger study is of value to obtain a deeper understanding of differences in perceptions. Knowledge of these perceptions may facilitate the recruitment of perioperative nurses. Specialized competence at the surgical departments increases the chances for patients to receive a safe perioperative care.

Abstract: This curricular internship report was accomplished in a perioperative context, as part of the Nursing Masters program of the Escola Superior de Saúde of Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal. The internship, the report and the Masters program have as a converging main goal the following: to provide the student with the know-how, reflection, analysis and clinical practice, which promote the development of competences that allow perioperative nursing health care. These should be based on scientific evidence but still be focused on the person undergoing surgery. The report aims to present the criteria which determined the internship objectives, describe the reflection and critical analysis conducted on nursing practice and the specificities inherent to the surgical specialties; and further professional development leading to the degree of Master of Perioperative Nursing. The report also aims to present the individual project developed through Project Methodology, in which Evidence Based Practice was applied. Through this project, entitled "Theorizing in the Perioperative Nursing area", in which an Integrative Review was conducted in order to answer the question "What theory has been developed in the area of Perioperative Nursing?”, it was concluded that theory in the Perioperative Nursing area hasn’t been greatly developed. There is some evidence of the application of various types of Nursing Theories to the perioperative period. It’s noteworthy to refer the Perioperative Patient Focused Model as the only theory specific to this area of nursing.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a holistic description of perioperative nurses' experiences and perceptions of continuing professional education (CPE), from their decisions to study and experiences as students, to the outcomes realised from formal post-registration university courses. Some studies have explored CPE holistically; however these did not include perioperative nurses, whose views may differ from colleagues working in other specialities due to the patriarchal nature of the theatre environment. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted and 23 unstructured interviews were conducted with 23 perioperative nurses who had recent experience of CPE. Audio-taped interviews were transcribed fully into the Ethnograph, and the data coded and analysed using both Seidel's (1998) and Dey's (1993) models for data analysis. Four themes emerged: 1) 'Background', including managers' attitudes and cultural discourses 2) 'Going In', relating to motivations and deterrents in accessing CPE 3) 'Process', including participants' experiences as students and 4) 'Going Out', describing the personal, professional and practice outcomes which resulted. Findings relating to motivations, barriers and outcomes reflected those of previous studies. Local cultures within theatres appeared to promote practical skills above academic qualifications, with managers controlling access to CPE, and horizontal violence experienced by nurses who traversed dominant cultural discourses. Participants perceived the possession of student cards as symbolic of a raised social status. Formal study did not impact directly on practice, however the development of increased confidence appeared to facilitate participants' collaboration with, and questioning of, medical colleagues and was attributed to indirectly enhancing patient care. The extent to which participants revealed their CPE lay on a continuum from telling all colleagues they were studying (public study) through to telling no one (secret study). Participants indicated the extent to which CPE was revealed, or kept secret, was crucial, based on the prevailing cultural discourse, their own academic confidence, and potential ramifications should they be unsuccessful. This study is the first to attribute significance to the concept of 'secret study'. This work contributes to the knowledge relating to CPE: It confirms the transferability of existing literature relating to motivations, barriers and outcomes of formal study to the perioperative setting, and advances knowledge with regard to participants' perceptions of their student status, and the development of inter-professional relationships following CPE. Further research is required to explore the concept of secret study, and to indicate whether the findings are transferable to areas outside of the perioperative setting. The findings are of significance to nurses working in practice, and educators involved in designing and delivering post-registration formal courses to perioperative nurses.

Abstract:

Background: Robot-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) is an important surgical method that is expanding quickly. Despite its swift development, the research situation varies and from several perspectives there is a general lack of scientific evidence for RAL as a method. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the perioperative nursing care of the patient undergoing RAL, with focus on the intraoperative climate and nursing measures. Method: Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with perioperative registered nurses (RN). The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis (TA) to identify and present patterns and themes. Results: The patients intraoperative care is affected by RAL in several ways. For the perioperative RN, there is a lot to keep track of and think about in order to maintain asepsis and to ensure the patient's physical safety during these procedures. The positioning of the patient is important in order to avoid pressure ulcers and press-related pain injuries, as well as over-stretching and nerve damage. It is a larger sterile area in a narrow environment where it can be difficult to get an overview and maintain the asepsis. Discussion: The study's results have contributed to new meaningful knowledge to the perioperative care in RAL. The difficulties with preparations and positioning were risk factors for the patient, in contrast with the advantages of the surgery for the same, which could however be improved and developed with the help of guidelines and follow-up.
Bakgrund: Robotassisterad laparoskopi (RAL) är en viktig kirurgisk metod som växer och utvecklas snabbt. Trots den snabba utvecklingen varierar forskningsläget och från flera perspektiv finns det en allmän brist på vetenskapliga bevis för RAL som en metod. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka den perioperativa omvårdnaden av patienten vid RAL, med fokus på den intraoperativa miljön och omvårdnadsåtgärderna. Metod: Data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med operationssjuksköterskor. Intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analys (TA) för att identifiera och presentera mönster och teman. Resultat: Patientens intraoperativa vård påverkas av RAL på flera sätt. För operationssjuksköterskor finns det mycket att hålla reda på och tänka på för att upprätthålla aseptiken och för att säkerställa patientens fysiska säkerhet under dessa ingrepp. Placeringen av patienten är viktig för att undvika trycksår och tryckrelaterade skador, liksom översträckning och nervskador. Det är ett större sterilt område i en trång miljö där det kan vara svårt att få en överblick och upprätthålla aseptiken. Diskussion: Studiens resultat har bidragit till ny meningsfull kunskap om den perioperativa vården inom RAL. Svårigheterna med hjälpmedel och positionering var riskfaktorer för patienten, i motsats till fördelarna med operationen för detsamma, vilket dock kunde förbättras och utvecklas med hjälp av riktlinjer och uppföljning.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Det är vanligt att patienter känner oro för att genomgå en operation. Bristfällig information kan skapa oro och känslan av att inte vara förberedd. Standardiserade metoden för att ge preoperativ information visar sig ha brister. Existerande forskning kring multimedia visar positiva effekter gällande patienters kunskap/förståelse, oro och förberedelse men det finns ingen överblick över befintliga studier utförda på området. Syftet med denna studie är att studera hur preoperativ information i form av multimedia kan påverka patienters grad av kunskap/förståelse, förberedelse och oro i den perioperativa perioden. Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudie med kvantitativ ansats. Datainsamlingen utfördes i databaserna Pubmed och Cinahl. Urvalsprocessen utgick från modellen PICO. Kvalitetsgranskning utfördes, 16 artiklar inkluderades, varav 14 RCT-studier. Analysen bestod av att syntetisera och summera data. Resultat: Mer än hälften av deltagarna (53%) i interventionsgruppen skattade ingen signifikant skillnad gällande oro jämfört med kontrollgruppen. Majoriteten av deltagarna i interventionsgruppen (87%) hade signifikant mer kunskap/förståelse jämfört kontrollgruppen. Gällande förberedelse kände 57% av deltagarna i interventionsgruppen sig signifikant mer förberedda jämfört med kontrollgruppen. Konklusion: Multimedia är ett effektivare verktyg för att öka patienters kunskap/förståelse och förberedelse jämfört med standardiserad vård. Multimedia är dock inte mer effektivt än standardiserad metod för att minska patienters oro. Författarna föreslår att individuellt anpassad preoperativ information kombinerat med multimedia kan tillämpas för patienter som ska genom en operation för att minska lidandet. Det finns behov av fortsatt forskning inom området.
Background: Patients undergoing surgery often experience feeling of anxiety. Lack of information is a common cause of anxiety and also provokes a feeling of not being prepared. The way patients are informed preoperatively today has clear flaws. There are studies showing benefits regarding patients’ level of knowledge/understanding, anxiety and preparedness before surgery when multimedia is used preoperatively. Reviews on the subject are lacking. Aim: To study how preoperative information given through multimedia can impact the level of knowledge/understanding, anxiety and feeling of preparedness among patients undergoing surgery. Methods: Quantitative review article. The databases Pubmed and Cinahl were used. The PICO-model was used for article selection. 16 articles were included, 14 of them were RCTs. The analysis consisted of synthesizing and summarizing the findings. Results: More than half (53%) of the patients in the intervention group did not score any significant change in level of anxiety compared to control. The majority (87%) of the patients in the intervention group had significantly better knowledge/understanding compared to control. Regarding feeling of preparedness, 57% of the patients in the intervention group feel significantly more prepared compared to control. Conclusions: Multimedia as a tool is more effective in providing patients undergoing surgery with knowledge/understanding and preparedness compared to standard care. Multimedia is not better at reducing anxiety compared to standard care. The authors suggest that tailored preoperative information combined with multimedia should be used for patients undergoing surgery. Further research is needed within the field.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine if obese patients have a different sensory regression time from subarachnoid block than non-obese patients using hyperbaric 0.75% bupivacaine. A quasi-experimental design was used. Twenty patients were separated into two groups; one group was classified as obese, and the other group was classified as non-obese. The data consisting of age, height, weight, sex, and surgical procedure were recorded preoperatively. All the patients received hyperbaric 0.75% bupivacaine via subarachnoid puncture. The levels of spinal anesthesia were recorded at the highest level achieved. The injection time was also recorded. When the surgery was completed, the patient was transferred to the recovery room and levels of sensory blockade were checked by pin-prick with an 18-gauge needle every 10 minutes until complete recovery from the spinal anesthesia had been achieved. The hypothesis, there will be no difference in sensory regression time from SAB with hyperbaric 0.75% bupivacaine between obese and non-obese patients, failed to be rejected. No statistically significant difference, using linear regression analysis, was found in mean regression time between groups (obese versus non-obese).

Abstract:

Seven orthopedic surgery patients requiring the use of a tourniquet were studied. The hypothesis stated that tourniquet application does not affect coagulation. A total of 5 blood samples were drawn perioperatively (preoperative, 5 minutes after induction of anesthesia, 30 minutes after tourniquet inflation, 2 - 5 minutes after tourniquet deflation, and 30 minutes after tourniquet deflation. For each sample, TEG parameters (R, R + k, MA and α) were measured. The value for each TEG parameter was compared by analysis of variance (ANOVA), then the samples were contrasted and examined by repeated measures ANOVA. None of the TEG parameters showed a statistically significant difference in the blood samples before, during or after tourniquet application. The hypothesis could not be rejected at the α = .05 level of significance. A t test was used to examine the effect of anesthesia on coagulation. The TEG parameters indicated a significant relationship between the TEG values R and R + k, and a near significant relationship between TEG values MA and a and the administration of anesthesia. It was concluded that tourniquet use does not effect coagulation when applied 2 hours or less. However, anesthesia had a significant effect on TEG parameters R and R + k. The clinical significance of this effect was questionable since the type of anesthesia varied in some patients, and none of the patients in the study demonstrated symptoms of coagulopathy.

Relatório de Projeto/Estágio do Mestrado em Enfermagem Perioperatória
Este relatório surge no âmbito da unidade curricular de Estágio com Relatório para a obtenção do grau de Mestre em Enfermagem Perioperatória, na Escola Superior de Saúde (ESS), do Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal (IPS). A enfermagem perioperatória centra-se na proteção da integridade da pessoa em situação de vulnerabilidade; identificação das principais necessidades em cuidados de enfermagem, efetividade diagnóstica do risco e prevenção de complicações; demonstração em ganhos em saúde sensíveis aos cuidados de enfermagem; promoção e operacionalização da continuidade dos cuidados de enfermagem; responsabilidade profissional e no compromisso na garantia da qualidade dos cuidados de saúde. O processo cirúrgico provoca no cliente receios e dúvidas que devem ser esclarecidas antes do internamento, assim como informação relativa ao perioperatório. A consulta de enfermagem pré-operatória (CEPO), proporciona um primeiro contato com o cliente bem como um momento privilegiado de interação entre enfermeiro perioperatório e cliente. A sua implementação teve como objetivo contribuir para a melhoria da experiência cirúrgica do cliente. Seguindo a metodologia de trabalho de projeto, a implementação e operacionalização da CEPO, foi realizada através da revisão da literatura relacionada com a enfermagem perioperatória, visita pré-operatória, consulta de enfermagem, conteúdos necessários a fornecer aos clientes e como promover a evidência das atividades. Foi executada pesquisa bibliográfica em plataformas, repositórios e bases de dados, tendo sido fundamentais para a construção de um guião de consulta, de um folheto informativo a fornecer ao cliente e o desenvolvimento de fotos / documentos de apoio com imagens das intervenções cirúrgicas a serem submetidos.Através da articulação com a Direção de Organização, Qualidade e Segurança do Grupo, foi criada a Plataforma de Medicina Perioperatória, onde se insere a CEPO, em que foi possível determinar os itens a constar nos ensinos pré e pós-operatórios, e colher dados referentes à avaliação inicial do cliente para permitir uma posterior avaliação através de follow up telefónico a realizar pelos anestesistas e enfermeiros do serviço de internamento. A interação e a empatia estabelecida entre os clientes e os enfermeiros perioperatórios, no pré-operatório, permite que o cliente identifique o enfermeiro como uma referência na segurança e no cuidar no bloco operatório. A operacionalização da CEPO permite aos enfermeiros a elaboração de um plano de cuidados personalizado, antever necessidades e organizar cuidados anestésico-cirúrgicos e dar visibilidade e evidência ao seu trabalho. Para a instituição de saúde trás vantagens nomeadamente na diminuição do tempo de consulta de anestesia permitindo aumentar a quantidade de consultas efetivas, na rentabilização dos tempos operatórios e tempo de admissão no serviço de internamento, e na promoção da diminuição das ILC e complicações pósoperatórias diminuindo o tempo de internamento. Os clientes serão os beneficiários major dos ensinos e informações fornecidos na CEPO, o que permite, não só, uma diminuição da ansiedade perante o seu processo cirúrgico, como uma melhor preparação para o pós-operatório. A CEPO permite cuidar no pré, preparando o pós-operatório.
This report comes within the scope of the curricular unit of Internship with Report to obtain the Master's Degree in Perioperative Nursing, at the Higher School of Health (ESS) of the Polytechnic Institute of Setúbal (IPS). Perioperative nursing focuses on protecting the integrity of the vulnerable person; identification of the main needs in nursing care, diagnostic effectiveness of the risk and prevention of complications; demonstration on health gains sensitive to nursing care; promotion and operationalization of the continuity of nursing care; professional responsibility and commitment to guarantee the quality of health care. The surgical process causes in the client fears and doubts that must be clarified prior to hospitalization, as well as perioperative information. The pre-operative nursing consultation (PONC) provides a first contact with the client as well as a privileged moment of interaction between perioperative nurse and client. Its implementation aimed to contribute to the improvement of the surgical experience of the client. Following the methodology of the project work, the implementation and operationalization of the PONC was carried out by reviewing the literature related to perioperative nursing, preoperative visit, nursing consultation, contents necessary to provide clients and how to promote evidence of activities . Bibliographic research was carried out on platforms, repositories and databases, and were fundamental for the construction of a reference guide, a leaflet to be provided to the client and the development of photos / supporting documents with images of the surgical interventions to be submitted . Through the articulation with the Organization's Direction of Organization, Quality and Safety of the Group, the Perioperative Medicine Platform was created, where PONC is inserted, in which it was possible to determine the items to be included in the pre and post-operative teaching, to the initial evaluation of the client to allow a posterior evaluation through telephone follow up to be performed by the anesthesiologists and nurses of the inpatient service. The interaction and empathy established between the clients and the preoperative perioperative nurses allows the client to identify the nurse as a reference in the safety and care in the operating room. The operation of the PONC allows nurses to prepare a personalized care plan, anticipate needs and organize anesthetic-surgical care and give visibility and evidence to their work. For the health institution there are advantages such as the reduction of the time of consultation of anesthesia, increasing the number of effective consultations, the profitability of the operative times and the time of admission to the inpatient service, and the promotion of the reduction of surgical site infection (SSI) and postoperative complications, reducing hospitalization time. Clients will be the major beneficiaries of the teaching and information provided at the PONC, which allows not only a decrease in anxiety before their surgical process, but also a better preparation for the postoperative.The PONC allows to take care in the pre, preparing the postoperative.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Disruptive behaviour among health care providers in high stress areas such as the perioperative setting has been linked to negative patient safety. Conflicts of power, role and personality lead to communication failure, which are identified as the leading root cause of medication errors and wrong site surgery. The aim of the study was to explore and describe the factors underlying registered nurse (RN) interactions in a tertiary healthcare perioperative area. A non-experimental, descriptive, exploratory study with self-administered survey using a quantitative approach was used. The total population of N=52 participants working in the perioperative area of a Middle Eastern tertiary healthcare centre were invited to participate in the study and the response rate was n=44, 85%. A structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. Reliability and validity was assured by means of a pilot study and consultation with nursing experts and a statistician. The Health Research Ethics Committee of the University of Stellenbosch approved the study. Permission for the study to be done in the tertiary care centre was obtained from the Internal Ethical Review Board and the Nursing Executive. Informed written consent was obtained from the participants. Anonymity and confidentiality was respected. The data was analysed with the assistance of a statistician and presented in frequencies, tables and histograms. The responses were compared using Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal- Wallis ANOVA and Spearman’s Rank correlation, on a 95% confidence level. Only one factor showed a significant result, following Spearman’s Rank correlation that an association exists between work experience and lateral violence (p≤0.045239). The open-ended questions were categorized into themes and respect and communication emerged as factors necessary in teamwork and task management The level of respect and open communication between RNs were seen as important factors for interacting with colleagues in the workplace and if poor, affects team work. An area of concern was the high number of neutral responses to the statements on morale and conflict. Underpinned by the literature and the outcomes of this study, it is recommended that strong leadership is required to implement regular team building activities. Furthermore, perioperative staff should be monitored for emotional fatigue which results from conflict situations in order to avert adverse patient care events.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Steurende gedrag onder gesondheidsorgwerkers in hoë gespanne areas soos in die perioperatiewe omgewing, word gekoppel aan negatiewe pasiënt veiligheid. Konflikte van mag, rol en persoonlikheid lei tot mislukking van kommunikasie wat geïdentifiseer word as die hoofoorsaak van foute by die toediening van medikasie en verkeerde plek vir chirurgie. Die doel van die studie was om die faktore te ondersoek en te beskryf wat onderliggend is aan geregistreerde verpleeg (GV) interaksies in ’n tersiêre gesondheidsorg perioperatiewe area. ’n Nie-eksperimentele, beskrywende, ondersoekende studie met ’n self-administrerende opname deur ’n kwantitatiewe benadering, was gebruik. Die totale populasie van N=52 deelnemers wat in die perioperatiewe area van ’n Midde-Oosterse tersiêre gesondheidsorgsentrum werk, was uitgenooi om deel te neem aan hierdie studie en die responskoers was n=44, 85%. ’n Gestruktureerde self-administrerende vraelys was gebruik om die data te kollekteer. Betroubaarheid en geldigheid was verseker deur die gebruik van ’n loodsprojek en konsultasie met verpleegdeskundiges, asook ’n statistikus. Die Gesondheidsnavorsingsetiekkomitee aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch het die studie goedgekeur. Toestemming vir die uitvoer van die studie by die tersiêre gesondheidssentrum was verkry van die Interne Etiese Oorsigraad en die Uitvoerende Verplegingsbestuur. Ingeligte geskrewe toestemming was verkry van die deelnemers. Anonimiteit en vertroulikheid was gerespekteer. Die data was geanaliseer met die hulp van ’n statistikus en aangebied in frekwensies, tafels en histogramme. Die response was vergelyk deur van Mann-Whitney U-toets, Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA of Spearman se Rangkorrelasie op ’n 95% vertroulikheidsvlak gebruik te maak. Slegs een faktor het ’n beduidende resultaat getoon, dat daar ’n assosiasie bestaan tussen werkservaring en laterale geweld (p≤0.045239), deur Spearman se Rangkorrelasie te volg. Die ope-vrae was gekategoriseer in temas. Respek en kommunikasie het as noodsaaklike faktore vir spanwerk en taakbestuur na vore gekom. Die vlak van respek en ope kommunikasie tussen geregistreerde verpleegsters was gesien as belangrike faktore vir interaksie met kollegas in die werkplek en indien dit swak is, affekteer dit spanwerk. ’n Area van besorgdheid was die hoë aantal neutrale response op die stellings oor moraal en konflik. Ondersteun deur die literatuur en die uitkomste van die studie, word dit aanbeveel dat sterk leierskap vereis word om gereelde spanbou aktiwiteite te implementeer. Verder behoort perioperatiewe personeel gemonitor te word vir emosionele moegheid wat spruit uit konfliksituasies, ten einde nadelige pasiëntsorg af te weer.

Full text

Abstract:

Bakgrund: I litteraturen finns evidens att använda dubbla lager av operationshandskar vid all kirurgi för att förebygga smittspridning mellan patient och personal samt för att förebygga vårdrelaterade infektioner. Operationshandskar kan ha olika tjocklek och taktil känsla beroende på latex eller latexfritt material. Trots att evidens finns att använda dubbla lager operationshandskar förekommer variation i användandet. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om operationssjuksköterskor och kirurger väljer enkla eller dubbla handskar vid operationer, samt hur de motiverar sitt val. Metod: Operationssjuksköterskor och kirurger från två operationsavdelningar i Mellansverige undersöktes i en tvärsnittsdesign med intervjustödda enkäter. Flera deltagare intervjuades flera gånger. Resultat: Totalt inkluderades 66 deltagare i studien och 137 intervjuer genomfördes. Nästan hälften av deltagarna motiverade sitt val av handskar med rutin eller vana. Vid samtliga ortopediska operationer användes dubbla handskar. Enkelt lager av handskar användes i högre grad då endast latexfria handskar fanns att tillgå, och den dominerande motiveringen var då att det var mer svårarbetat med dubbla handskar. Slutsats och klinisk betydelse: Användandet av enkla respektive dubbla handskar skiljer sig mellan verksamheterna och mellan yrkeskategorierna. Dubbla handskar användes av samtliga deltagare på den avdelning där skriftliga riktlinjer angående dubbla handskar fanns formulerade. Enkla handskar användes i högre grad då endast latexfria handskar fanns att tillgå. Resultatet i föreliggande studie indikerar att riktlinjer angående dubbla handskar, samt latexfria handskars sämre taktila förmåga kan ha betydelse för hur operationspersonal väljer operationshandskar.
Background: In the literature, there is evidence of the usage of double layered surgical gloves during all surgical procedures in order to prevent the spread of infection between the patient and medical personnel, as well as, to prevent clinical infections. Double layered surgical gloves can have different thickness and tactile feeling depending on latex or latex-free material. Aim: To investigate if operating room nurses and surgeons choose single or double gloving for operations, as well as, how they motivate their choices. Method: Operating room nurses and surgeons from two different operation departments in the middle of Sweden were examined in a cross-sectional design with interview-supported questionnaires. Some participants were interviewed several times. Results: In total, 66 participants were included in the study and 137 interviews were conducted. Almost half of the participants motivated their choice of gloves routinely or habitually. In all orthopedic operations, double gloves were used. Conclusion and clinical implications: The usage of single as opposed to double-gloving differs between departments and between different categories of profession. The majority of participants chose to use double gloves. Double gloves were more frequently used on the ward where written guidelines regarding double gloves were formulated. Single gloves were more commonly used in the pediatric surgery department, where only latex-free gloves were available for use. The result in the present study indicates that guidelines regarding double gloves can be significant for how operation personnel choose surgical gloves.

Abstract:

Introduktion: Antalet internationella migranter i världen har ökat snabbt i antal de senaste åren, vilket ställer högre krav på vården. Kommunikation är en viktig beståndsdel i omvårdnaden och vid kommunikativa brister kan informationsutbytet bli lidande och patientsäkerheten hotas. En god kommunikation mellan patient och vårdare samt eliminerandet av potentiella språkbarriärer är en förutsättning för att kunna ge en god och patientsäker vård. Tidigare forskning om språkbarriärer mellan sjuksköterskor och patienterfinns, däremot är forskningen om anestesisjuksköterskans upplevelser begränsad inom det perioperativa vårdandet. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva anestesisjuksköterskans upplevelse av att vårda vuxna patienter perioperativt med annat språk. Metod: Studien är genomförd med en kvalitativ metod. Åtta anestesisjuksköterskor deltog i studien där semistrukturerade intervjuer användes för datainsamling. Intervjuerna analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet mynnade ut i två kategorier: Att anpassa sig och sitt arbetssätt för att nå patienten och Upplevda svårigheter i att kommunicera. Slutsats: Anestesisjuksköterskor upplevde stora utmaningar och svårigheter i det perioperativa vårdandet av patienter som pratar annat språk. Viktig information kunde missas och även påverka patientsäkerheten. Anestesisjuksköterskor upplevde att patienter med annat språk i större utsträckning än andra var oroliga och att det var svårt att lugna någon när de inte delade språk. Anestesisjuksköterskorna fick använda sig av andra strategier än verbal kommunikation för att tillgodogöra sig adekvat information samt kommunicera med patienten.

Abstract:

Patienter i den perioperativa vården är ofta med om blodförluster. Anestesisjuksköterskor ansvarar för att övervaka, hantera och dokumentera patienters perioperativa vård. Patienters förlorade blodvolymer är viktiga att uppskatta korrekt, för att patienter ska få rätt behandling. Anestesisjuksköterskor ansvarar för bedömning och visuell uppskattning av blodvolymen på kompresser, sugbehållare och operationsdukar som används perioperativt. Studiens syfte är att kartlägga anestesisjuksköterskors förmåga att göra visuell uppskattning av patienters blodförluster perioperativt. En kvantitativ studie genomfördes med ett stickprov av 30 anestesisjuksköterskor. De analysmetoder som användes var: Wilcoxon’s rangsummetest, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test och Spearman’s korrelationstest. Deltagarna fick uppskatta blodvolymen på tre olika material vid två efterföljande stationer och fylla i en pappersenkät. Resultatet visar på att en stor majoritet underskattar blodvolymen vid de två efterföljande stationerna. Inget signifikant samband fanns mellan deltagarnas typer av uppskattningar (underskattning, korrekt skattning och överskattning) relaterat till kön, yrkeserfarenhet och självskattad förmåga. I studien påvisas det att anestesisjuksköterskors förmågor att visuellt uppskatta blödningar inte förbättras med längre yrkeserfarenhet. Det framkommer i studien att visuella uppskattningar av blodvolymer ofta blir underskattade och att effektiva och objektiva verktyg eller metoder att uppskatta blödningar perioperativt är något som saknas för anestesisjuksköterskor. Blödningar som inte uppskattas korrekt leder till att patienter i den perioperativa vården blir lidande.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Under den korta perioden som den perioperativa vården varar ska sjuksköterskor skapa en tillitsfull relation, uppmärksamma behov, lindra oro och förmedla känsla av trygghet. Personcentrerad vård har visat sig vara ett effektivt verktyg för detta. Genom att studera upplevelser av vården hos patienter som har genomgått en sköldkörteloperation kan vården anpassas för att möta patienternas individuella behov. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att utforska och beskriva hur patienter som genomgått en sköldskörteloperation upplever den perioperativa omvårdnaden. Metod: En kvalitativ studie. Semi-strukturerade individuella intervjuer genomfördes med åtta patienter som nyligen genomgått sköldkörtelkirurgi. Datan analyserades genom systematisk textkondensering. Resultat: Studiens resultat visar på att känsla av oro och trygghet genomsyrar upplevelsen av den perioperativa processen hos patienter som har genomgått sköldkörtelkirurgi. Omvårdnaden som patienterna erhåller bidrar till att skapa trygghet och lindra oro. Ett gott bemötande av hjälpsam, lugn och omhändertagande vårdpersonal som ser patienternas behov bidrar till att skapa känslan av trygghet. Patienternas oro kan lindras genom tydlig och individanpassad information som ges under rätt omständigheter. En tillitsfull relation mellan vårdtagaren och vårdgivaren har en positiv inverkan på patienterna och är en viktig faktor för att lindra den perioperativa oron. Slutsats: Kunskap om omvårdnadsåtgärder som skapar trygghet och lindrar oro är betydelsefull och kan bidra till en mer personcentrerad vård. En förändring måste ske och omvårdnaden måste ges ett större utrymme, i första hand för patienternas skull. Strävan efter att minimera lidande och öka tryggheten i samband med den perioperativa vården ska vara en självklarhet.
Background: During the short period of time of the perioperative care, the nurses needs to create a trustful relationship, observe needs, ease anxiety and mediate feeling of safety. The person-centred care had proven to be a good tool to achieve that. By studying the experiences of care in patients who had undergone thyroid surgery, the care can be fitted to encounter the individual needs in patients. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore and describe how patients who had undergone thyroid surgery experience the perioperative care. Method: A qualitative study. Semi structured individual interviews were conducted with eight patients who recently had undergone thyroid surgery. Data were analysed using systematic text condensation. Results: Study results shows that the feeling of anxiety and safety permeates the experience of the perioperative process in patients who had undergone thyroid surgery. The nursing care from calm and caretaking personnel contributes to create safety and to ease suffering. Patients’ anxiety can be eased through clear and individually fitted information that is given under the right circumstances. Trustful relationship between the caretaker and the caregiver is an important factor to ease the perioperative anxiety. Conclusions: Knowledge about nursing actions that creates safety and eases anxiety is meaningful and can contribute to a more person-centred care. A change must take place and the nursing care must be given more space, primarily for the patient's sake. The striving to minimize suffering and increase the security associated with perioperative care should be a matter of course.

Bakgrund: År 2008 gav Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) ut en checklista för säker kirurgi. Syftet med denna checklista var att öka patientsäkerheten. Efter införandet av checklistan har antalet dödsfall och komplikationer efter kirurgi minskat. Flera studier visar att checklista inte följs fullt ut trots det goda resultatet. Det finns dock få studier som har undersökt följsamheten till den sista fasen i checklistan, signout. Syfte: Att beskriva operationsteamets följsamhet till signout. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en icke-deltagande observationsstudie med kvantitativ, deskriptiv ansats. Med hjälp av ett observationsformulär genomfördes totalt 24 observationer på två operationsenheter. Resultat: Följsamheten till signout var medelgod, 42 %. Vissa delmoment kontrollerades mer frekvent än andra och några berördes inte alls. Operatören var den som initierade i mer än hälften av observationerna och anestesisjuksköterskan hade högst frekvens i pausning. Slutsats: Vid initiering, pausning och specifika delmoment var det främst operatören som utmärkte sig. Här sågs ett tydligt samband av operatörens roll i studiens resultat. Det finns skillnad mellan den dokumenterade och den faktiska följsamheten till checklistan. För att öka följsamheten och därmed patientsäkerheten, behövs tydligare riktlinjer kring vem som ska ansvara och när signout ska genomföras.
Background: In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a checklist for safe surgery. The purpose of this checklist was to increase patient safety. Since the introduction of the checklist mortality and complications after surgery has decreased. Several studies show that the checklist is not fully followed despite the good results. However, there are few studies that have examined compliance with the final phase of the checklist, signout. Aim: To describe the surgical team's compliance to signout. Method: The study was conducted as a non-participant observational study with a quantitative, descriptive strategy. Using an observation form, a total of 24 observations were performed on two operating units. Result: The signout compliance was average, 42%. Some sub-parts were checked more frequently than others and some were not confirmed at all. The surgeon was the one who initiated in more than half of the observations and the anesthesia nurse had the highest frequency at pausing. Conclusion: In the initiation, pause and specific sub-parts, it was mainly the surgeon who distinguished himself. Here, a clear connection was seen between the surgeon's role and the result of the study. There is a difference between the documented and the actual compliance to the checklist. To increase compliance and thereby patient safety, clearer guidelines are needed regarding who should be responsible and when to start signout.

Abstract:

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) affects 1 – 3% of all children aged 10 – 16 years; of these approximately 80% are girls. Scoliosis surgery is a major (one of the most extensive) elective paediatric orthopaedic procedure and is known to cause severe and excruciating pain that requires advanced postoperative pain management. Until now, scoliosis surgery has mainly been studied in terms of corrective surgical outcomes, and techniques for surgery and pain management. Adolescents’ narratives and experiences of recovery after scoliosis surgery, as well as psychological aspects in correlation to postoperative pain have seldom been studied. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to explore adolescents’ experiences of undergoing scoliosis surgery, experiences and self-reporting of pain, and psychological consequences. Methods: This thesis comprises four studies. The participants in Studies I and II belonged to the same cohort, all of whom underwent corrective surgery in the period from 2004 to 2007. In Study I there was a cohort of 87 adolescents and young adults with different types of scoliosis, some of whom had impaired verbal communication. The patients and their parents/caregivers were asked to complete a survey with questions regarding experienced pain, nausea and overall satisfaction with the hospital stay. Study II was a qualitative study in which six adolescents from the cohort in Study I were interviewed. The adolescents included in Study II had idiopathic scoliosis, and the interviews took place about two years after they had undergone surgery. Study III, which included 37 adolescents, was a prospective study of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) from four spine centres in Sweden. They completed two psychometric instruments and one structured interview both before surgery and about six months afterward. They also self-measured pain on the third postoperative day. In Study IV the adolescents included belonged to the same cohort as in Study III. In this prospective, mixed-method study, the participants self-reported pain before surgery, every four hours for the first five days after surgery, once a day for the first fourteen days at home after discharge from the hospital, and finally at the six-month follow-up. They were also asked to keep a diary during the first two weeks at home after discharge from the hospital. At the six-month follow-up they were interviewed about the overall experience of undergoing scoliosis surgery: how they experienced the time before surgery, during the hospital stay and the recovery period up through the date of the interview. iv Results: Study I showed that the patients experienced severe pain and nausea postoperatively during the hospital stay. The parents/caregivers felt helpless and sometimes lacked confidence in the nurses. Despite this, overall satisfaction with the hospital stay was rated as good. Study II showed that the adolescents experienced nervousness and fear before surgery, severe pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) during the hospital stay, had problems with the scars and experienced social difficulties during recovery. Nightmares were reported for up to two years after surgery. In Study III, the ratings of stress symptoms were higher before surgery than after. There were significant correlations between stress symptoms before surgery and levels of postoperative pain. There were also significant correlations between levels of postoperative pain and stress symptoms at the six-month follow-up. In Study IV, postoperative pain ratings showed great individual variation, and in the analysis of drop-outs it was found that those who did not keep a diary at home self-reported higher levels of pain at the six-month follow-up as well as higher levels of stress symptoms and internalizing symptoms. The participants described experiences of severe pain at the hospital and also during recovery. Nausea, constipation and lack of energy emerged from the narratives - but so did the desire to get back to school, sports and friends. The adolescents described how they were hovering between suffering and control and also striving towards normality. Conclusion: The results indicate a need for interventions among adolescent patients to reduce stress symptoms before major surgery. Nurses need to identify adolescents with stress symptoms, use stress-reduction techniques, and support adolescent patients with coping strategies aimed at reducing preoperative stress and managing postoperative pain. Postoperative pain management needs to be improved, both as regards pain assessment and pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management. Nurses need to improve their medical technical skills in order to optimize pain treatment. After discharge from the hospital adolescents have to struggle with difficulties at home such as pain, nausea, constipation, mobilization and a lack of energy. An intervention with follow-up telephone calls during the second week at home could reduce stress and help resolve difficulties. Since this study indicates stress symptoms at the six-month follow-up, there should also be a nurse interview to check on well-being and to see if any further intervention is needed at that time. If preoperative stress can be reduced, postoperative pain management optimized and the recovery period better supported, the overall experience of going through scoliosis surgery should improve.

Abstract:

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico
Trata-se de uma revisÃo integrativa da literatura, que teve como objetivo buscar e avaliar as evidÃncias disponÃveis na literatura sobre o cuidado no perÃodo perioperatÃrio prestado Ã paciente submetida Ã mastectomia. Para a seleÃÃo dos estudos, foram consultadas as bases de dados PUBMED, LILACS e CINAHL. A amostra constituiu-se de sete estudos. NÃo foi identificado nenhum estudo nas bases de dados LILACS e CINAHL, sete estudos foram provenientes do PUBMED. Houve uma prevalÃncia de seis estudos (86%) com nÃvel de evidÃncia 2 e um estudo (14%) com nÃvel de evidÃncia 3. ApÃs a anÃlise dos aspectos abordados nestes artigos, reuniu-se em uma categoria temÃtica: o manejo da dor, contendo os sete estudos. O primeiro estudo concluiu que uma dose de 600 mg de gabapentina administrada uma hora antes da cirurgia produz analgesia pÃs-operatÃria significativa apÃs a mastectomia total. O segundo estudo demonstrou que o uso do EMLA em pacientes mastectomizadas reduziu a solicitaÃÃo de analgÃsicos no pÃs-operatÃrio e uma reduÃÃo da incidÃncia e a intensidade da dor crÃnica. No terceiro estudo nÃo foram encontradas diferenÃas no manejo da dor pÃs-operatÃria entre 3,75 mg / ml de ropivacaÃna e infiltraÃÃo da ferida com soluÃÃo salina antes da mastectomia. O quarto estudo concluiu que a administraÃÃo preventiva com cetoprofeno por via endovenosa (100 mg) produz maior alÃvio da dor pÃs-operatÃria em pacientes submetidas Ã mastectomia. O quinto estudo evidenciou que a administraÃÃo de 8 mg de dexametasona diminui efetivamente o uso de analgÃsicos em mulheres submetidas Ã anestesia geral para a mastectomia. O sexto estudo nÃo demonstrou associaÃÃo entre o Ãndice de Ãxido nÃtrico e o desenvolvimento de dor crÃnica pÃs-operatÃria. O sÃtimo estudo concluiu que a administraÃÃo perioperatÃria de venlafaxina reduz significativamente a incidÃncia de sÃndrome da dor pÃs-mastectomia. O estudo apresentou como limitaÃÃes o fato de que ao longo dos 10 anos pesquisados, o Ãnico cuidado perioperatÃrio da cirurgia de mastectomia encontrado na literatura foi relacionado ao manejo farmacolÃgico da dor, ademais os estudos analisados nÃo mostraram uma associaÃÃo entre si, visto que em cada um foi avaliado uma droga diferente, dificultando o consenso e a recomendaÃÃo relacionada ao uso de fÃrmacos para o controle/minimizaÃÃo da dor. A evidÃncia nÃo apresentou um consenso para o cuidado perioperatÃrio de mastectomia, pois encontrou-se uma diversidade de uso de fÃrmacos para o controle da dor e em grande parte dos estudos existiu divergÃncias e divisÃo de opiniÃes. Contudo, observou-se a preocupaÃÃo por parte dos profissionais em minimizar/prevenir a dor prÃ, intra e pÃs-operatÃria. Desse modo, a enfermagem deve estar atenta, tanto Ã atualizaÃÃo dos tratamentos farmacolÃgicos no manejo da dor quanto ao desenvolvimento de futuras pesquisas relacionadas ao cuidado de enfermagem no perÃodo perioperatÃrio de mastectomia.
It is an integrative literature review, which aimed to search and evaluate the available evidence in the literature on perioperative care provided to patients undergoing mastectomy. To select the studies were consulted the databases PUBMED, LILACS and CINAHL and the sample consisted of seven studies. No study has been identified in the databases LILACS and CINAHL, and all seven studies were from the PUBMED. There was a prevalence of 6 studies (86%) with level of evidence 2 and 1 study (14%) with level of evidence 3. After analyzing the issues addressed in these articles, gathered in atopical category: pain management, containing the seven studies. The first study found that a dose of 600 mg of gabapentin administered 1 h before surgery produces significant postoperative analgesia after total mastectomy. The second study showed that use of EMLA in mastectomy patientsreduced the request of analgesics postoperatively and a reductionin the incidence and intensity of chronic pain. In the study 03 found no differences in the management of postoperative pain between 3.75 mg / ml and ropivacaine wound infiltration with saline prior to mastectomy. The fourth study found that preventive administration of ketoprofen intravenously (100 mg) produces greater relief of postoperative pain in patients undergoing mastectomy. The fifth study showed that administration of dexamethasone 8 mgeffectively decreases the use of analgesics in women undergoinggeneral anesthesia for mastectomy. The sixth study showed no association between the index of nitric oxide and the development of chronic postoperative pain. The seventh study found that perioperative administration of venlafaxine significantly reduces the incidence of pain syndromeafter mastectomy. The study had limitations the fact that over the 10 years studied, the only perioperative care of the mastectomy surgery in the literature was related to the pharmacological management of pain and the studies analyzed did not show an association between them, since in each was assessed a different drug, hindering consensus and recommendation regarding the use of drugs to control / minimize the pain. The evidence did not show a consensus for the perioperative care of mastectomy, because we found a diversity of use of drugs for pain control and in most studies there were differences and division of opinion. However, we noted the concern on the part of professionals to minimize / prevent pain before, during and after surgery, and nursing must be attentive to both the update of pharmacological treatments in pain management, for the development of future research related to the care of perioperative nursing.
