Abstract
BACKGROUND Working in the perioperative context is complex and challenging. The continual evaluation in this environment underscores the need for adaptability to technological advancements, and requires substantial allocation of resources for training and education. This study aimed to explore personality characteristics of nurse anesthetists and surgical nurses that are instrumental for sustainable employability in technologically advanced environment. METHODS Exploratory, cross-sectional survey study including nurse anesthetists and surgical nurses, both certified and in training, and a sample of the normative Dutch population. Personality characteristics were identified with the Big Five Inventory, which consisted of 60 items answered on a five-point Likert scale (strongly disagree to strongly agree). RESULTS Specific personality traits were found for nurse anesthetists and surgical nurses when compared to the normative Dutch population. Traits of both nurse anesthetists and surgical nurses differed significantly on all domains of the Big Five Inventory, with the largest differences found within the dimension negative emotionally. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the role of specific personality traits in maintaining employability within the rapidly evolving and technologically advanced landscape of healthcare. It emphasizes the relationship between individual traits and professional excellence, being crucial educational strategies for overall improvement in healthcare.

Abstract
Background and objectives As novice nurses transition into the workforce, they often experience transition shock as they assimilate into a new role, causing cause significant stress, anxiety and job dissatisfaction. This phenomenon is commonly observed within the perioperative nursing speciality. The development of transition support programs is aimed at assisting novice nurses' transition by providing fundamental knowledge, socialisation, support, and training.This review aimed to uncover the support programs and their components available to nurses transitioning into the perioperative speciality. The research question that provided guidance for this review was 'What are the transition support arrangements, and their characteristics, to support new graduate nurses and novice nurses who are transitioning into perioperative nursing?'. Literature search Arksey & O'Malley's' five-step scoping review framework was used. The researchers performed a comprehensive literature search of PubMed, Proquest, CINHAL and SCOPUS with no limit on publication date until April 2023. A blinded screening process was undertaken, and the data extraction was tabulated. Data was presented as a narrative synthesis following thematic analysis. Results The initial search identified 537 publications. Screening and duplicate removal led to the exclusion of 512 publications. Of the 25 publications included in this review, two were primary research publications, while the other 23 were discussion papers. Analysis indicated that program approaches and components of programs were frequently described. Conclusion The findings highlight the significance of transition programs within the perioperative speciality area. However, the paucity of empirical evidence on the pedagogical underpinnings and evaluation of effectiveness indicates the need for further research. Conducting further research within perioperative transition to practice will enable programs to be designed based on theoretically-sound and evidence-based approaches to support nursing transition to practice within the speciality perioperative environment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative nursing can reduce the stress reaction and improve the prognosis of children. AIM To elucidate the influence of multidisciplinary collaborative nursing for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) with family care in perioperative nursing children with an inguinal hernia and its impact on the prognosis. METHODS The data of 100 children with inguinal hernia were retrospectively analyzed. The participants were divided into three groups according to different nursing methods: Groups A (n = 38), B (n = 32), and C (n = 30). Group A received multidisciplinary collaborative ERAS nursing combined with family care nursing; Group B received multidisciplinary collaborative nursing for ERAS; and Group C received routine nursing. The postoperative recovery results of the three groups were compared, including intraoperative blood loss and postoperative feeding time, time of getting out of bed, hospitalization time, and defecation time. Furthermore, the incidence of common complications was also compared between the three groups. RESULTS There was less intraoperative blood loss in Groups A and B than in Group C (P < 0.05), and the time of getting out of bed and postoperative hospitalization and defecation times were also decreased in Group C (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in postoperative feeding time among the three groups (P > 0.05). Each index had no statistical significance between Groups A and B (P > 0.05). The incidence of urinary retention, infection, hematoma, and hernia recurrence in Group A was less than that in Group C (P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in the overall complication rate between Groups A and B and between Groups B and C (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The application of multidisciplinary collaborative nursing combined with family care in the perioperative care of children with an inguinal hernia for ERAS may promote postoperative rehabilitation for children and reduce the incidence of complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Operating room nurses have specialised technical and non-technical skills and are essential members of the surgical team. The profession's dependency of tacit knowledge has made their non-technical skills difficult to access for researchers, thus, creating limitations in the identification of the non-technical skills of operating room nurses. Non-technical skills are categorised in the crew resource management framework, and previously, non-technical skills of operating room nurses have been identified within the scope of the framework. The purpose of this study is to explore operating room nurses' descriptions of their practices in search for non-technical skills not included in the crew resource management framework. METHODS This study has a qualitative design. An expert panel of experienced operating room nurses (N = 96) in Norway provided qualitative descriptions of their practice in a Delphi survey. The data were analysed in an inductive thematic analysis. This study was conducted and reported in line with Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR). RESULTS The inductive thematic analysis developed two themes, 'Ethical competence' and 'Professional accountability', that encompass operating room nurses' novel descriptions of their non-technical skills. The participants take pride in having the patients' best interest as their main objective even if this may threaten their position in the team. CONCLUSIONS This study has identified novel non-technical skills that are not described in the crew resource management framework. These findings will contribute to the development of a new behavioural marker system for the non-technical skills of operating room nurses. This system will facilitate verbalisation of tacit knowledge and contribute to an increased knowledge about the operating room nursing profession.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To minimize the risk of perioperative hypothermia, it is recommended that healthcare professionals be familiar with heat conservation measures and use passive and active warming methods, in line with international guidelines. However, there is a low level of adherence perioperatively to the use of heat conservation measures. To understand why, there is a need to capture the nurse anesthetists' perspective. The aim is to describe nurse anesthetists' perceptions of heat conservation measures in connection with surgery. METHODS An inductive descriptive design with a phenomenographic approach was chosen. A total of 19 nurse anesthetists participated and were interviewed. Data were analyzed according to Larsson and Holmström's phenomenographic seven-step model. RESULTS Six ways of understanding the phenomenon heat conservation measures in connection with surgery were found: the preventive, the useable, the untenable, the caring, the adaptive, and the routine care approach. These approaches were related to each other in a flexible way, allowing for several to co-exist at the same time, depending on the situation. CONCLUSIONS Nurse anesthetists want to prevent the patients' heat loss and maintain normothermia, regardless of the type of surgery. This willingness, motivation, and intention enable the use of heat conservation measures. However, there are perceptions that have an impact, such as doubts and uncertainty, access, time and financial constraints, preconditions, routines or habits, and lack of availability of education/training. These barriers will require support from an organizational level to promote lifelong education and guidelines. As well as offer education at the nurse anesthetists' program.

Abstract
Objective To summarize the clinical efficacy and nursing experience of intrauterine blood transfusion (IUT) treatment for fetal anemia cases. Methods The clinical data of 4 fetal anemia cases receiving IUT in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University between 2020 and 2022 were collected. Four pregnant women aged 24-38 years were included in the study. They carried fetuses with anemia of unknown causes. The four pregnant women developed anxiety after they were informed of the diagnosis of fetal anemia. One-on-one psychological counseling before the IUT procedure and one-on-one companionship over the course of the surgery were provided for the pregnant women. In addition, they were closely monitored for blood transfusion reactions. Postprocedural observation of the puncture site and 24-hour monitoring of the newborns were also conducted. Results The four pregnant women underwent 1-3 times of IUT in the second and third trimesters, with the minimum gestational age at the time of IUT being 25 + weeks and the blood transfusion volume being 20-107 mL/time. Two pregnant women experienced irregular uterine contractions during IUT in the third trimester. Other than that, all other IUT treatments were successful. After IUT, there was a significant improvement in fetal hemoglobin, peak systolic velocity of the middle cerebral artery (MCA-PSV), and cardiothoracic area ratio. One case did not give birth in our hospital and the outcome of the fetus was not known. The other three fetuses achieved good outcomes. Conclusion Positive preprocedural psychological counseling for pregnant women, close intraoprocedural and postprocedural pregnancy monitoring, and the prevention of maternal and fetal complications are the key to improving the clinical efficacy of IUT and achieving a good fetal outcome.

Abstract
Although evidence-based practices exist for preventing hypothermia in patients during surgery, few studies have focused on this concern in postoperative patients. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the most challenging issues experienced by surgical ward nurses while managing the body temperature of adult surgical patients. To address this research gap, this study used a qualitative descriptive design to document barriers to body temperature management as reported by a sample of 16 perioperative nurses. The semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using inductive content analysis. The main barriers fell into three categories: professional nursing ability limitations, unfavourable working conditions and management of human resources. The eight subcategories were disadvantageous professional views, professional knowledge limitations, low motivation to provide nursing care, non-standard treatment environment, inadequate equipment and care protocols, heavy nursing care loads, inadequate staff training and ineffective staff supervision. These findings highlighted the importance of adequate resources, proper education and evidence-based care protocols in the effective delivery of body temperature management to postoperative patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing preoperative anxiety can help optimize surgical care. AIM To analyze the effectiveness of verbal guidance by nurses versus verbal guidance combined with a comic book on preoperative anxiety in children and their parents. METHODS We conducted a randomized parallel, two-group controlled clinical trial in the pediatric ward and a blinded anxiety assessment in the operating room of a Brazilian hospital. Individuals aged 6-14 years undergoing surgical procedures of up to 4 h for the first time were included in the study. Parents who were adults, literate, and able to communicate verbally were included. The primary outcome was the children's anxiety, measured by the Children Anxiety Questionnaire (CAQ), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS); the secondary outcome was the parents' anxiety, assessed by the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. Participants were divided into the intervention (IG; n = 60) and control (CG; n = 60) groups. FINDINGS The two groups were homogeneous. The median age of the children was 8 years. No significant differences were observed in the CAQ and VAS scores between the two assessment time points or in the mYPAS scores between the IG and CG. However, parents' anxiety significantly decreased in both groups. APPLICATION TO PRACTICE Preoperative guidance by nurses, either verbal only or verbal information with a comic book proved beneficial in reducing parental anxiety. However, both interventions, performed on the day of surgery, failed to reduce preoperative anxiety in children and adolescents upon admission to the operating room. We recommended the process of preparing the child should begin after scheduling the surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Game-based training is increasingly implemented in different nursing fields, as it allows students to learn experientially, with the flexibility to regulate their training based on their personal progresses and abilities. This study aimed to compare the effects of virtual training by the "Playing with Surgical Instruments (PlaSurIn)" game and the lecture on the surgical instruments setup knowledge and performance of Operating Room (OR) novices. METHODS This study was conducted on 51 s-semester undergraduate OR technology students taking the course "An Introduction to Surgical Instruments and Equipment." An additional virtual training session was held via a learning management system using two different methods. The students of the Game Training Group (GTG, n = 27) played individually with the "PlaSurIn" game during a week, while the students of the Lecture Training Group (LTG, n = 24) received the lecture-based training during a week. To measure knowledge, all the students participated in a theoretical test with 10 multiple-choice questions before and immediately after the training. They also participated in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) after the training, and their performance was evaluated by the remained time for setup completion and the scores, errors, and bonuses. RESULTS The mean score of the theoretical test was significantly higher in the GTG than in the LTG after the training (p = 0.040). Additionally, the GTG participants had higher scores (p = 0.016), fewer errors (p = 0.001), and higher bonuses (p = 0.011) compared to the LTG ones. The remained time for setup completion was also significantly longer in the GTG than in the LTG (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Virtual training by "PlaSurIn" was superior to the lecture-based method for the enhancement of surgical instruments setup knowledge and performance amongst OR novices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital nurses observe and respond to deterioration using the 'National Early Warning Score 2'. Surgical nurses are highly engaged in the early recognition of and response to deterioration. Responses to deterioration are based on deviating vital signs, while nurses also act on subjective indicators like worry. Scientific literature and (inter)national guidelines do not mention any information about acting upon worry. OBJECTIVE To gain an in-depth understanding of the actions nurses on surgical wards undertake to generate an appropriate response to nurses' worry when the 'National Early Warning Score 2' does not indicate deterioration. METHOD A qualitative focus-group study with surgical nurses working at a hospital in the Netherlands. Data was collected by focus-group interviews supported by vignettes and analysed thematically. FINDINGS Four focus-group interviews with a total of 20 participants were conducted between February and April 2020. Two sequential themes emerged: 'Searching for explanation and confirmation' and 'Responding by actively applying nursing interventions'. Nurses gathered additional information about the patient and searched for a reference point to place this information in perspective. Nurses also approached others for co-assessment and verification. However, nurses faced barriers in calling for medical assistance. They felt physicians did not take them seriously. After gathering additional information, nurses responded by applying nursing interventions to comfort the patient. CONCLUSION Nurses mainly try to formalise an in-depth understanding of their feeling of worry to convince a physician to accurately treat the patient. Spending much time on a search to this understanding leads to delays in escalating care.

BACKGROUND Game-based training has been considered as an alternative modality to traditional training in different perioperative nursing fields. OBJECTIVES To describe the adaptation and validation process of "Playing with Tweezers", a Portuguese game developed for novices to set up basic surgical instruments on the Mayo stand or a back table. DESIGN A validation study with three phases of translation, reconciliation, and evaluation (face, content, and construct validity). SETTINGS Several medical universities in Iran. PARTICIPANTS Twelve students in a pilot translation test, 18 experts in the reconciliation phase, 20 experts in the face and content validity stages, and 120 students (72 novices, 26 intermediates, and 22 experts) in the construct validity stage. METHODS Following "forward-backward" translation from Portuguese to English, the English version of the game was appraised in the reconciliation phase using a 57-item questionnaire. To test face and content validity of the final version of the game, a 30-item questionnaire addressing different aspects of the game was completed. The students' game performance (remained time for game completion, obtained score, and error) was compared to assess the construct validity. RESULTS Minor differences were detected and resolved during the translation process. The English version of the game was reconciled in two sequential steps, and the final game called "Playing with Surgical Instruments (PlaSurIn)" was developed. All the items regarding the face validity received 80-100% of positive responses. Moreover, regarding the content validity, all of the evaluated items obtained a content validity index of 0.90-1.0. Compared to the novices, the experts and intermediates received higher scores (p < 0.001 in two cases) and fewer errors (p < 0.001, p = 0.007). The remained time for game completion was significantly longer for experts than the novices (p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS The "PlaSurIn", as a virtual training strategy, can prepare novices to set up basic surgical instruments.

Abstract
AIM To investigate workplace bullying, and explore correlations between bullying, burnout, and resilience amongst perioperative nurses in Australia. BACKGROUND Workplace bullying in perioperative nursing involves verbal, physical and psychological violence. However, no prior studies have measured Australian perioperative nurses' experiences of workplace bullying nor sought to understand if there is a relationship with burnout, and resilience. METHODS A descriptive correlational study was conducted utilising an online survey incorporating four validated instruments. Descriptive statistics and regression models analysed workplace bullying, burnout, and resilience. RESULTS Over half of perioperative nurses (n = 158/257, 61%) were exposed to workplace bullying. Consequences included fatigue and exhaustion (n = 129/192, 67%), anxiety (n = 123/192, 64%) and sleeplessness (n = 121/192, 63%). Organisational processes (r = 0.458, p<0.001), bullying acts (r = 0.289, p<0.001) and avoidance and withdrawal at work (r = 0.440, p=0.001) increased burnout. Psychosocial distress (r = -0.216, p<0.001) was associated with decreased resilience. CONCLUSIONS Workplace bullying is a persistent issue with negative impacts upon burnout, resilience, and wellbeing. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT The psychological wellbeing of employees can be prioritised by establishing and maintaining an organisational climate of psychosocial safety. Thereby inhibiting the potential of bullying to manifest and positively influencing employee wellbeing to help promote workplace engagement, productivity, and reduce burnout.

Abstract
Objective Operating room nurses, as essential members of health care teams, often face ethical challenges in the operating room. By using the ethical experiences of operating room nurses, a better understanding of ethics in the operating room can be achieved, which can lead to better nursing decisions in the face of these challenges. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate operating room nurses’ lived experiences of ethical codes. Methods A hermeneutic phenomenological study was performed in Hamadan (Iran) from February 2019 to November 2020. Ten operating room nurses were selected as participants by purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was performed based on Van Manen methodology. Results Data analysis revealed three main themes and 11 sub-themes representing the operating room nurses experience of the ethical code. The main themes were; adherence to professional commitments, preserving patient dignity, and respect to colleagues. Conclusion The results underlined ethics and ethical values in the operating room. Due to the intense interactions between operating room nurses with the patient and surgical team, commitment to ethics by nurses can lead to improving quality of care and interactions among members of the surgical team. It is suggested that using these codes as a guideline and a framework could be developed to improve the ethical and professional performance of operating room nurses.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the prognostic capacity of the clinical indicators of a delayed surgical recovery nursing diagnosis throughout the hospital stay of patients having cardiac surgery. DESIGN A prospective cohort design was adopted. A sample of inpatients undergoing elective cardiac surgery was followed during the immediate preoperative period and hospitalization. This research was conducted in the southeast region of Brazil at a national reference institution that treats highly complex diseases and performs cardiac surgeries. Data were collected from July 2017 to July 2018. METHODS At the end of 1 year of data collection, 181 patients were followed in this study. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival time related to delayed surgical recovery. In addition, an extended Cox model of time-dependent covariates was adjusted to identify the clinical signs that influenced the change in the nursing diagnosis status. RESULTS A delayed surgical recovery nursing diagnosis was present in 23.2% of the sample studied. With an expected length of stay of 8 to 10 days, most new cases of delayed surgical recovery were observed on the 10th postoperative day, and the survival rate after this day was decreased until the 29th postoperative day, when the nursing diagnosis no longer appeared. Interrupted healing of the surgical area, loss of appetite, and atrial flutter were indicators related to an increased risk for delayed surgical recovery. CONCLUSIONS Timely recognition of selected clinical indicators demonstrates a promising prognostic capacity for delayed surgical recovery. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Accurate identification of prognostic factors allows nurses to identify early signs of postoperative complications. Consequently, the professional can develop an individualized plan of care, aiming at the satisfactory clinical recovery of the patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of non-technical skills in the prevention of adverse events in the operating room is well documented through research. With the increased attention to non-technical skills, the need for structured training to support the development of such skills has emerged. The Scrub Practitioners' List of Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills (SPLINTS) is an instrument for structuring observation as well as rating and feedback of non-technical skills for operating room nurses, and it can be used for student supervision and self-reflection. SPLINTS-no is the Norwegian translation and adaptation of SPLINTS. OBJECTIVE To explore the experiences of operating room nurse preceptors using SPLINTS-no in the supervision of operating room students' non-technical skills. DESIGN An explorative qualitative design was used. METHODS Data were collected using semi-structured qualitative interviews with 10 operating room nurse preceptors in a Norwegian university hospital. The data were analysed by inductive qualitative content analysis. RESULTS The operating room nurse preceptors experienced that the use of SPLINTS-no had an impact on the quality of student supervision. They improved their supervision competencies, and the use of SPLINTS-no contributed to consistency in observation and supervision. There were also findings supporting that reflection over non-technical skills contributed to building an increased awareness of these skills. CONCLUSIONS SPLINTS-no has an impact on clinical student supervision through an increased awareness on non-technical skills. It is well accepted by the operating room nurses as a supportive tool in the supervision of non-technical skills of student operating room nurses during clinical placement.

Abstract
Dry eye is a common ocular surface disease that can occur in part of patients before cataract surgery. A variety of incentives during the perioperative period can decrease the stability of the tear film, cause or aggravate dry eye symptoms, and therefore reduce the visual outcome and life quality of the patients. In order to standardize the management of dry eye during the perioperative period of cataract surgery, the Cataract Group of the Ophthalmology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association conducted a comprehensive discussion on the evaluation and improvement of the preoperative ocular surface conditions, the intraoperative ocular surface protection, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of postoperative dry eye. The consensus of opinions has been reached for reference of Chinese ophthalmologists. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57:17-22).

Abstract
Objective: To explore the influence of standardized and comprehensive incubational measures on perioperative treatment of extensively burned patients who underwent escharectomy and skin grafting. Methods: From January 2017 to November 2018, 50 patients with extensive burn who underwent escharectomy and skin grafting in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University and met the inclusion criteria of this study, were recruited in this retrospective cohort study. According to the incubational measures at that time, 20 patients (14 males and 6 females, aged (33.5±5.2) years) who received routine incubation during the perioperative period from January to October 2017 were set as routine incubation group, and 30 patients (23 males and 7 females, aged (35.8±1.4) years) who received standardized comprehensive incubational measures during the perioperative period from November 2017 to November 2018 were set as comprehensive incubation group. Their body temperature was controlled mainly in 4 stages: preoperative preparation and transfer from intensive care unit (ICU) to operating room, preoperative preparation in operating room, intraoperative operating room management, as well as postoperative transfer from operating room to ICU. The initial body temperature in operating room and intraoperative hypothermia duration, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative recovery time, postoperative chill, blister, and ulcer, and wound healing rate on post operation day (POD) 10 were recorded and calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with two independent samples t test and chi-square test. Results: (1) The initial body temperature in operating room of patients in comprehensive incubation group was (36.3±0.4) ℃, which was significantly higher than (35.6±0.4)℃ in routine incubation group, t=6.658, P<0.01; the intraoperative duration of hypothermia was (205±38) min, which was significantly shorter than (234±42) min in routine incubation group, t=2.564, P<0.05. (2) The intraoperative blood loss of patients in comprehensive incubation group was (323±114) mL, which was significantly less than (490±162) mL in routine incubation group, t=4.272, P<0.01; the postoperative recovery time was (36±8) min, which was significantly shorter than (49±17) min in routine incubation group, t=3.229, P<0.01. (3) The incidence of postoperative chill of patients in comprehensive incubation group was significantly lower than that in routine incubation group (χ(2)=28.626, P<0.01). The incidences of postoperative blister and ulcer of patients between the 2 groups were close. (4) On POD 10, the wound healing rate of patients in comprehensive incubation group was (78.08±0.06)%, which was significantly higher than (71.03±0.08)% in routine incubation group, t=3.694, P<0.01. Conclusions: The standardized and comprehensive incubational measures can effectively improve the initial body temperature of patients entering the operating room, shorten the intraoperative duration of hypothermia, reduce the amount of blood loss and postoperative complications, as well as shorten the postoperative recovery time, thus improve the wound healing rate.

Abstract
There are marked disparities in supply and demand for specialty-trained health care providers in low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC). Nurses are at the forefront in volunteering to provide humanitarian health support in local, national, and international disasters. Responding to the call to provide expert medical and surgical education and care in LMIC aligns with the passion and purpose of nursing. This article shares a real-world experience of perioperative nurses in partnership with the surgical team to provide cleft lip/palate repair for children in LMIC. It is all in the smile left behind.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In surgical teams, health professionals are highly interdependent and work under time pressure. It is of particular importance that teamwork is well-functioning in order to achieve quality treatment and patient safety. Relational coordination, defined as "communicating and relating for the purpose of task integration," has been found to contribute to quality treatment and patient safety. Relational coordination has also been found to contribute to psychological safety and the ability to learn from mistakes. Although extensive research has been carried out regarding relational coordination in many contexts including surgery, no study has explored how relational coordination works at the micro level. The purpose of this study was to explore communication and relationship dynamics in interdisciplinary surgical teams at the micro level in contexts of variable complexity using the theory of relational coordination. METHODS An ethnographic study was conducted involving participant observations of 39 surgical teams and 15 semi-structured interviews during a 10-month period in 2014 in 2 orthopedic operating units in a university hospital in Denmark. A deductively directed content analysis was carried out based on the theory of relational coordination. RESULTS Four different types of collaboration in interdisciplinary surgical teams in contexts of variable complexity were identified representing different communication and relationship patterns: 1) proactive and intuitive communication, 2) silent and ordinary communication, 3) inattentive and ambiguous communication, 4) contradictory and highly dynamic communication. The findings suggest a connection between communication and relationship dynamics in surgical teams and the level of complexity of the surgical procedures performed. CONCLUSION The findings complement previous research on interdisciplinary teamwork in surgical teams and contribute to the theory of relational coordination. The findings offer a new typology of teams that goes beyond weak or strong relational coordination to capture four distinct patterns of relational coordination. In particular, the study highlights the central role of mutual respect and presents proposals for improving relational coordination in surgical teams.

Abstract
A systematic review was conducted on electronic databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, CINAHL, and Embase until December 2017, using relevant keywords for educational games developed for nursing students in perioperative field. To evaluate the level of strength and quality of the evidence, the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) revised model for evidence appraisal was used. Of the 852 evidence, only 10 met the criteria and were reviewed and appraised. Educational games had focused on different learning domains, including skills, feelings, emotion, knowledge, performance, attitude, motivation, and interest. With respect to the evidence level, most evidence was categorized as V (expert opinion = 2, case report = 2, literature review = 1, and organizational experiences = 1), and only one was in level I (randomized controlled trial). The quality level of most evidence was high (n = 4) and low (n = 4), and the rating of most of them was moderate (n = 4) and limited (n = 4). Based on the findings, most evidence had inappropriate quality and was found to be weak. It seems that the investigated games are insufficient to promote the nursing students' learning outcomes in different domains. Accordingly, more high-quality studies are required to design and develop innovative and practical games for students in perioperative nursing by considering validity and reliability process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Simulation-based learning has been extensively explored, especially in baccalaureate nursing programmes. Recently, simulation-based learning has been introduced in perioperative nursing. The aim of this scoping review is to investigate work published on the use of simulation-based learning in the field of perioperative nursing. DESIGN AND DATA SOURCES A scoping review was conducted using the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley to identify a broad range of relevant literature, regardless of study design. A comprehensive and systematic search was performed using Medline, CINAHL, Eric, Svemed+, PsychINFO and Embase in May 2016 and then was updated in February 2018. Each database was searched for literature published between 1st January 2005 and 8th February 2018. REVIEW METHOD Two authors independently assessed literature eligibility and extracted data to answer our research question 'What is known about the use of simulation-based learning in the field of perioperative nursing?' RESULTS Nine articles and one doctoral thesis were included in the review. There appears to be a paucity of research or results-oriented evidence regarding the use of simulation-based learning in the field of perioperative nursing. Different goals of simulation-based learning were reported. It was difficult to confirm whether these goals had been reached as none of the articles included control groups, and no evaluations had been undertaken against Kirkpatrick's level 3 to see changes in participants' behaviours, and level 4, to determine whether the training had a positive impact on, for example, patient outcomes. CONCLUSION Owing to the lack of research and the inadequate descriptions of design and method in simulation-based learning in most of the articles included, there is little evidence in the existing literature to guide practitioners of this learning in the field of perioperative nursing. This indicates a need for further research in this area.

Abstract
Background This study describes the in-service training experience of perioperative nurses from the SickKids-Ethiopia Paediatrics Perioperative Nursing Training Program in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study emphasizes specifically how nurses applied the knowledge and skills gained from the Paediatrics Perioperative Nursing Training program in their subsequent practice and consider the situational factors that facilitated or hindered implementing these new knowledge and skills. Methods The first author led qualitative in-depth interviews with nine perioperative nurses who participated in training in September 2016, and systematically developed descriptive codes and themes to analyze the data. Results The authors found that participants experienced improved knowledge, skills, confidence, and job retention related to perioperative nursing practice after participating in Paediatrics Perioperative Nursing Training. Participants also stressed key challenges including lack of access to ongoing perioperative in-service training and problematic staffing policies that impact perioperative nurses' ability to fully utilize and share new knowledge gained during CPD training. Conclusion The findings highlighted the value of specialized perioperative CPD training for Ethiopian nurses, yet also pointed to multidimensional challenges for knowledge translation and sustainability of best practices. The authors offer recommendations for individual and institutional strategies to address some of them.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nausea and vomiting are common postoperative complications that occur within the first 24 h in adults. Clinical practice guidelines and a Cochrane review recommend stimulating the P6 acupoint to prevent or reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting. However, there are currently no standards and optimal timing is not known. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of acupressure application on the P6 acupoint, using acupressure wristbands, in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting and the antiemetic drug requirement in patients who had high postoperative nausea and vomiting risk related to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. DESIGN This was a longitudinal, randomized controlled clinical study. SETTINGS The study was conducted in the general surgery department of a training and research hospital (105 beds), from March 2015 to March 2016. PARTICIPANTS A total of 111 female patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery were divided into three groups of 37, using a block randomization method. METHODS Training on acupressure wristband use was provided to the intervention group and an acupressure wristband with a plastic cap was placed at the P6 acupoint. A wristband with the same appearance as the acupressure wristband, but without a cap, was used in the placebo group. No intervention was used in the control group. The wristband was placed approximately one hour before the surgery and removed six hours after the surgery in both the intervention and placebo groups. The data were collected at the 2nd, 6th, and 24th postoperative hours. RESULTS The application of the acupressure wristband to the P6 acupoint in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy was found to be more effective in decreasing the severity of nausea at the 2nd postoperative hour and the nausea incidence at 2-6 h, postoperatively, when compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the intervention group and the control group. Therefore, acupressure application to the P6 acupoint was not found to be clinically effective in decreasing postoperative vomiting, antiemetic drug requirement, and in decreasing pain, anxiety, or the need for analgesic drugs (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We did not find the stimulation of the P6 acupoint with an acupressure wristband to be clinically effective in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting or antiemetic drug requirement in patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract
Background Throughout many countries, professional bodies rely on yearly self-assessment of competence for ongoing registration; therefore, nursing competence is pivotal to safe clinical practice. Our aim was to describe and compare perioperative nurses’ perceptions of competence in four countries, while examining the effect of specialist education and years of experience in the operating room. Methods We conducted a secondary analysis of cross-sectional surveys from four countries including; Australia, Canada, Scotland, and Sweden. The 40-item Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale-Revised (PPCS-R), was used with a total sample of 768 respondents. We used a factorial design to examine the influence of country, years of experience in the operating room and specialist education on nurses’ reported perceived perioperative competence. Results Regardless of country origin, nurses with specialist qualifications reported higher perceived perioperative competence when compared to nurses without specialist education. However, cross-country differences were dependent on nurses’ number of years of experience in the operating room. Nurses from Sweden with 6–10 years of experience in the operating room reported lower perceived perioperative competence when compared to Australian nurses. In comparing nurses with > 10 years of experience, Swedish nurses reported significantly lower perceived perioperative competence when compared to nurses from Australia, Canada and Scotland. Conclusion Researchers need to consider educational level and years of experience in the perioperative context when examining constructs such as competence.

Abstract
Background Emergency surgery is unplanned by definition and patients are scheduled for surgery with minimal preparation. Some patients who have sustained emergency orthopaedic trauma or other conditions must be operated on immediately or within a few hours, while others can wait until the hospital’s resources permit and/or the patients’ health status has been optimised as needed. This may affect the prioritisation procedures for both emergency and elective surgery and might result in waiting lists, not only for planned procedures but also for emergencies. Method The main purpose of this retrospective, observational, single-centre study was to evaluate and describe for the number and reasons of delays, as well as waiting times in emergency orthopaedic surgery using data derived from the hospital’s records and registers. All the emergency patients scheduled for emergency surgery whose procedures were rescheduled and delayed between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2013 were studied. Result We found that 24% (8474) of the 36,017 patients scheduled for emergency surgeries were delayed and rescheduled at least once, some several times. Eighty per cent of these delays were due to organisational causes. Twenty-one per cent of all the delayed patients had surgery within 24 h, whilst 41% waited for more than 24 h, up to 3 days. Conclusion A large number of the clinic’s emergency orthopaedic procedures were rescheduled and delayed and the majority of the delays were related to organisational reasons. The results can be interpreted in two ways; first, organisational reasons are avoidable and the potential for improvement is great and, secondly and most importantly, the delays might negatively affect patient outcomes.

Abstract
The robotic nurse plays an essential role in a successful robotic surgery. As part of the robotic surgical team, the robotic nurse must demonstrate a high level of professional knowledge, and be an expert in robotic technology and dealing with robotic malfunctions. Each one of the robotic nursing team “nurse coordinator, scrub-nurse and circulating-nurse” has a certain job description to ensure maximum patient's safety and robotic surgical efficiency. Well-structured training programs should be offered to the robotic nurse to be well prepared, feel confident, and maintain high-quality of care.

Abstract
AIMS To report experience of perioperative nursing of tracheal silicon stent implantation in infants. METHODS Retrospective analysis on the cases of tracheal silicon stent implantation in infants in our hospital. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Since middle of 2014, totally four tracheal silicon stent implantation were performed in our center. Of them, one case was recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula and the other three cases were traheomalacia. Parent's psychological support, infants' nutrition support and airway care were key responsibility for a nurse before implantation. During the procedure of stent implantation, it was responsible for a nurse to closely monitor the infants and to support operator. After the implantation, airway care and prevention of intra-airway bacterial colonization were important to avoid complications.

Abstract
Preventing intraoperatively acquired pressure ulcers (IAPUs) in patients undergoing spinal surgery in the prone position using a Relton-Hall frame is challenging. We investigated the efficacy of soft silicone foam dressings in preventing IAPUs. A prospective dual-center sham study was conducted among patients undergoing elective spinal surgery in a general hospital and a university hospital in Japan. The incidence of IAPUs that developed when soft silicone foam dressings and polyurethane film dressings were used was compared on two sides in the same patient. IAPUs developed on the chest in 11 of 100 patients (11%). Polyurethane film dressings were associated with a significantly higher rate of IAPUs than soft silicone foam dressings (11 versus 3, P = 0·027). A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a diastolic blood pressure of <50 mmHg (P = 0·025, OR 3·74, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1·18-13·08) and the length of surgery (by 1 hour: P = 0·038, OR 1·61, 95% CI 1·03-2·64) were independently associated with the development of IAPUs. The use of soft silicone foam dressings reduced the risk of IAPUs (P = 0·019, OR 0·23, 95% CI 0·05-0·79) and was more effective than film dressings for preventing IAPUs in spinal surgery patients.

Abstract
There is a mutual interaction between health and the workplace. Health affects the capacity to work and working conditions affect a worker's health. Operating rooms (ORs) are stressful, complex settings in which there are ergonomic risk factors, such as lifting/moving heavy equipment. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) can arise due to unhealthy ergonomic conditions. Our study showed that nurses had been absent from work and/or retired early due to WRMSDs. Good ergonomic conditions in ORs increase nurses' occupational health and safety, their job satisfaction and performance. These factors contribute to patient care outcomes in a positive way.

Abstract
The change in patient population leads to an inevitable transformation among the healthcare system. Over the past decades, thoracic surgical technique has been evolving from conventional open thoracotomy to minimally invasive video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Thoracic nursing team of Prince of Wales Hospital (PWH) grows together with the evolution and aims at providing holistic and quality care to patients require thoracic operation. In order to enhance patient post-operative recovery, few strategies have been implemented including early mobilization, staff training and clinical audit. On the other hand, nursing case management approach was proved to be a cost-effective method in managing patients. It is also suitable for thoracic patients, especially for those who are suffering from thoracic neoplasm. It is believed that, the introduction of nursing case management approach would provide a better holistic care to the thoracic patients.

Abstract
Patients undergoing surgery in the park-bench position are at high risk of developing intraoperatively acquired pressure ulcers (IAPUs). The purpose was to examine retrospectively risk factors associated with IAPUs in the park-bench position. This study was conducted at a general hospital during the period of September 2010 to September 2012. Twenty-one potential risk factors were evaluated using data obtained from the hospital database. IAPUs developed in 30 of 277 patients (11%). Perspiration was statistically found to be independently associated with IAPUs [OR 3·09, 95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.07-8·58, P = 0·037]. A length of surgery of more than 6 hours was identified to be likely associated with IAPUs (OR 2·64, 95% Cl 0·84-9·08, P = 0·095) compared with less than 6 hours. Furthermore, there was an interaction between the length of surgery and the core temperature; that is, when the length of surgery was more than 6 hours, a core temperature of more than 38·1°C at the end of surgery had a higher odds ratio (8·45, 95% Cl 3·04-27·46, P < 0·001) than that at a lower core temperature (3·20, 95% Cl 1·23-8·78, P = 0·017). These results suggest that perspiration and core temperature are preventable causative factors of pressure ulcers, even under conditions of prolonged surgery in the park-bench position.

Abstract
Despite focused attention to improve the quality and safety of patient care, and the financial impact pressure ulcers (PUs) can have on a health care provider or institution, evidence supports that PUs continue to occur in other patient populations during admission to the hospital. An example of a patient population in which evidence indicates that the development of PUs occurs, is patients who have a surgical procedure. The article discusses a project designed to identify potential knowledge deficits among perioperative nurses of indicators for PU development in the surgical patient population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Multi-organ procurement surgical procedures through the generosity of deceased organ donors, have made an enormous impact on extending the lives of recipients. There is a dearth of in-depth knowledge relating to the experiences of perioperative nurses working closely with organ donors undergoing multi-organ procurement surgical procedures. AIM The aim of this study was to address this gap by describing the perioperative nurses experiences of participating in multi-organ procurement surgical procedures and interpreting these findings as a substantive theory. DESIGN This qualitative study used grounded theory methodology to generate a substantive theory of the experiences of perioperative nurses participating in multi-organ procurement surgery. SETTING Recruitment of participants took place after the study was advertised via a professional newsletter and journal. The study was conducted with participants from metropolitan, rural and regional areas of two Australian states; New South Wales and Western Australia. PARTICIPANTS Thirty five perioperative nurse participants with three to 39 years of professional nursing experience informed the study. METHODS Semi structured in-depth interviews were undertaken from July 2009 to April 2010 with a mean interview time of 60 min. Interview data was transcribed verbatim and analysed using the constant comparative method. RESULTS The study results draw attention to the complexities that exist for perioperative nurses when participating in multi-organ procurement surgical procedures reporting a basic social psychological problem articulated as hiding behind a mask and how they resolved this problem by the basic social psychological process of finding meaning. CONCLUSION This study provides a greater understanding of how these surgical procedures impact on perioperative nurses by providing a substantive theory of this experience. The findings have the potential to guide further research into this challenging area of nursing practice with implications for clinical initiatives, management practices and education.

Abstract
AIM: To assess the application value of accelerated rehabilitation surgical care in the perioperative nursing of patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
METHODS: Eighty gastrointestinal cancer patients who were treated at Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University from March 2012 to March 2014 were randomly divided into either a study group or a control group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was given routine perioperative care, while the study group was given perioperative accelerated rehabilitation care. Postoperative recovery and adverse events were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS: Postoperative ventilation time, time to liquid diet, time to ambulation and hospital stay were significantly shorter in the study group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Accelerated rehabilitation surgical care has high value in the perioperative nursing of patients with gastrointestinal tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, perioperative nursing has received ongoing attention as part of an interprofessional collaboration. Perioperative nursing is constantly faced with new challenges and opportunities that necessitate continual updates of nursing knowledge and technical skills. In light of the longstanding relationship between nursing and technology, it is interesting that few studies with this focus have been performed. Therefore, our research question was: What is the content of perioperative nursing and how do nurses facilitate the interaction between nursing care and technology in highly specialized operating rooms in public university hospitals? METHODS An ethnography involving participant observations and interviews was conducted during a 9-month study period. The participants comprised 24 nurses from 9 different operating wards at 2 university hospitals in different regions of Denmark. RESULTS Patients were addressed as either human beings or objects. Likewise, the participants' technical skills were observed and described as either technical flair or a lack of technical skills/technophobia. The different ways in which the technical skills were handled and the different ways in which the patients were viewed contributed to the development of three levels of interaction between technology and nursing care: the interaction, declining interaction, and failing interaction levels. CONCLUSION Nursing practice at the interaction level is characterized by flexibility and excellence, while practice at the declining interaction level is characterized by inflexibility and rigidity. Nursing practice at the failing interaction level is characterized by staff members working in isolation with limited collaboration with other staff members in operating rooms. Considering that the declining and failing interaction levels are characterized by inflexibility, rigidity, and isolation in nursing practice, nurses at these two levels must develop and improve their qualifications to reach a level of flexible, excellent interaction. Nurse leaders must therefore refocus their skills on proficiency in perioperative nursing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the Swedish public health-care system is to provide care on equal terms for all citizens. In this, as in most other systems where taxes and/or insurances pay for most of the care, normal market forces are set aside at least in part. At times, this has, for example, resulted in long waiting lists, particularly in terms of elective orthopaedic surgery, with several negative consequences, such as cancellations of planned surgery. METHODS The main purpose of this retrospective observational single center study was to evaluate and describe the number and reasons for cancellations in elective orthopaedic surgery. Studied were all the elective patients scheduled for joint replacement, arthroscopy and foot & ankle surgery, January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2011, whose procedure was cancelled at least once. RESULTS Of all 17,625 patients scheduled for elective surgery 6,911 (39%) received at least one, some several cancellations. The most common reason for cancelling a planned surgery was different patient-related factors 3,293 (33%). Cancellations due to treatment guarantee legislation reached 2,885 (29%) and 1,181 (12%) of the cancellations were related to incomplete pre-operative preparation of the patients. Organisational reasons were the cause of approximately 869 (9%) of the cancellations. CONCLUSIONS In this study of patients waiting for elective orthopaedic surgery 6,911(39%) had their surgical procedure cancelled at least once, some several times. It appears that it should be possible to eliminate many of these cancellations, while others are unavoidable or caused by factors outside the responsibility of the individual clinic or even hospital. One possible way of influencing the high rate of cancellations might be to change the view of the patients and involve them in the overall planning of the care process.
