“…Nursing care requires knowledge, not only of human normal functions, but also general knowledge of the current disease and its treatment. This knowledge is obtained through completing formal education to become a registered nurse with a bachelor's degree (Crafoord & Fagerdahl, ; Gillespie & Hamlin, ), but it is not enough for working in the OT department as an OT nurse. Specific nursing fields, which in this case means specializing in OT nursing and perioperative nursing (Tollerud, Botsford, Hoglan, Price, & Sawyer, ), focus on a deeper understanding of anatomy, physiology, the current disease and the surgical procedure and the six core competencies in the OT nursing context.…”

“…It also requires formal It is obvious that this complex vocational role requires an in-depth knowledge to be able to exercise the profession in a patient-safe manner. It is therefore essential to have a postgraduate diploma in specialist OT to obtain an understanding of the whole human being in the perioperative context (Crafoord & Fagerdahl, 2017).…”

Aim To discuss specialist operating theatre nurses’ competence in relation to the general six core competencies and patient safety. Design A discursive analysis of legal statutes and scientific articles. Methods Swedish legal statutes and an overview of scientific articles on operating theatre nursing were deductively analysed and classified into healthcare providers’ general six core competencies. Results All healthcare professionals should possess the general core competencies, regardless of their discipline. The specific content within these competencies differs between disciplines. The specialized operating theatre nurse is the only healthcare professional having the competence to be responsible for asepsis, instrumentation, infection and complication, control and management of biological specimens during the surgical procedure. Besides operating theatre nurses, no other healthcare profession has the formal education, competence or skills to perform operating theatre nursing care in the theatre during the surgical procedure. Operating theatre nurse competence is therefore indispensable to ensure patient safety during surgery.

Patient safety during joint replacement surgery: experiences of operating room nurses

et al. 2021

BackgroundAvoidable complications for surgical patients still occur despite efforts to improve patient safety processes in operating rooms. Analysis of experiences of operating room nurses can contribute to better understanding of perioperative processes and flow, and why avoidable complications still occur.AimTo explore aspects of patient safety practice during joint replacement surgery through assessment of operating room nurse experiences.MethodA qualitative design using semistructured interviews with 21 operating room nurses currently involved in joint replacement surgery in Sweden. Inductive qualitative content analysis was used.ResultsThe operating room nurses described experiences with patient safety hazards on an organisational, team and individual level. Uncertainties concerning a reliable plan for the procedure and functional reporting, as well as documentation practices, were identified as important. Teamwork and collaboration were described as crucial at the team level, including being respected as valuable, having shared goals and common expectations. On the individual level, professional knowledge, skills and experience were needed to make corrective steps.ConclusionThe conditions to support patient safety, or limit complication risk, during joint replacement surgery continue to be at times inconsistent, and require steady performance attention. Operating room nurses make adjustments to help solve problems as they arise, where there are obvious risks for patient complications. The organisational patient safety management process still seems to allow deviation from established practice standards at times, and relies on individual-based corrective measures at the ‘bedside’ at times for good results.
