“…Previous reports addressing the experiences of nursing students in the OR demonstrate a positive correlation in choice of specialty upon graduation similar to those reported for medical students [13]. However, it was interesting to find that the three groups surveyed did not demonstrate parity in rating the importance of OR observation for nursing students with that of medical students.…”

“…An initial version of our programme was first developed in 2010, centred around a curriculum that was designed to address some of the common educational needs of preclinical medical and nursing students that have been identified in the literature and emphasized in similar programmes [2,5,7,9,10], as well as to address the technical skills that are pertinent to the clinical encounters expected of clinical clerks at our institution [35].…”

The practical aspects of operative and perioperative specialties are often underrepresented in preclinical medical and nursing school curricula. Students must narrow down career choices early during the course of their education, which can be difficult in the absence of adequate exposure. A 5-day training programme was developed at our institution to allow students in both medicine and nursing to learn crucial operating room (OR) principles and skills in a structured, interprofessional setting. The week culminates in an interdisciplinary team-based management of a patient using various forms of simulation. Seventy (70) students participated in the 2012 offering of the programme. A course evaluation survey revealed an overwhelmingly positive response, with many students highlighting the significant practical benefits of the experience. An analysis of pre-and post-course responses revealed that students perceived an improvement in their technical ability (P<0.001, effect size >0.5), comfort level within the OR environment (P<0.001, effect size >0.5) and a greater sense of preparedness for surgical clerkship/clinical encounters (P<0.001, effect size >0.5). Nursing and medical students also noted an enhanced understanding of each other's roles in the OR and reported an increased interest in pursuing a career with a strong technical/hands-on focus (P=0.014, effect size=0.34). Students with an interest in OR specialties may benefit from an early interactive exposure to these fields. Mentor-guided simulated experiences can allow for students to better define their potential career interests in operative and perioperative specialties in a timely fashion.

“…Some schools off er a very superfi cial content in the surgical nursing discipline and the prac cal part consists of visi ng OR units. This quick exposure to the OR or an internship that is limited to a few days of observa on implies that students will not be able to become involved in ac vi es in the periopera ve environment or iden fy what the nurses' role is in the OR unit (14) .…”

“…Due to the high demand for professionals in the labor market in the United States, health care services have hired nurses without a specializa on degree in the area, and, therefore, ins tu ons deal with unprepared professionals who, for this reason, are also incapable of keeping the job (14) . An evalua on regarding newly graduated nurses observed that without the opportunity to gain experience on context-based skills, graduates have reported a feeling of not feeling prepared (17) .…”

RESUMOEste ar go tem por obje vos apresentar uma síntese da evolução do conteúdo de bloco cirúrgico na Escola de Enfermagem da Universidade de São Paulo (EEUSP) e uma refl exão sobre as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais do Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem (DCN). O estudo se desenvolveu a par r de um breve histórico do desenvolvimento da enfermagem em centro cirúrgico na prá ca profi ssional e sua inserção no currículo de graduação da EEUSP. As Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais têm seu mérito ao assegurar às ins tuições de ensino superior a liberdade na composição da carga horária a ser cumprida para a integralização dos currículos e na especifi cação das unidades de estudo a serem ministradas, porém, as competências e habilidades propostas são inespecífi cas. Entendemos que o enfermeiro generalista é aquele que tem oportunidades de aprendizado teórico prá co para atuar em todos os cenários de cuidado, área e níveis de atenção em saúde. DESCRITORESEducação em enfermagem Currículo Enfermagem perioperatória Enfermagem de centro cirúrgico Educação superior ABSTRACTThe objectives of this paper are to present a summary of the evolution of the content of perioperative nursing at the University of São Paulo School of Nursing (EEUSP) and reflect on the National Curriculum Directives (NCD) for the nursing course. The study was developed from a brief history of the practice of perioperative nursing and the inclusion of this topic in the nursing curriculum at EEUSP. The National Curriculum Directives are important because they permit undergraduate schools to determine the amount of teaching time for each course that will comprise their curriculum, but the competencies and skills proposed are nonspecific. We believe that the general nurse should have theoretical and practical learning opportunities to work in every area and level of healthcare.
