“…As regards to qualification and the current position, the current study results clarified that nearly the majority of studied nurses were secondary school graduate and the minority of them acted as head nurse. This finding is consistent with the study done by Brasaitė, Kaunonen ,Martinkėnas, Mockienė and Suominen, (2016), who explained that most of studied operating room nurses were medical school graduate and the main base-qualifications were a non-university bachelor. In addition, this is supported by Adejumo and Olatunji (2013) when they reported that above sixty percent of nurses had Diploma certificates .…”

Improving intra operative nurses' safety practices regarding surgical patients can be achieved through assessing how patients can be harmed or experienced further adverse events as result of improper practices and errors. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the effect of intraoperative nurses' safety practices on postoperative adverse events among surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia. Convenient Sample of two different groups (19 operating room nurses who assigned for caring of intraoperative general surgical patients &78 surgical patients who had major general surgery undergoing general anesthesia and experienced adverse events in postoperative care departments) had been recruited in the study. Two tools were used to collect data (1) observational checklist (adapted by investigator), (2) global trigger tool (developed by investigator).The Results revealed that total practice score of studied nurses was unsatisfactory (78.9%) along three phases of surgery so one half of studied patients (50%) experienced surgical wound infection or sepsis as adverse event in post-operative departments. In addition, more than two thirds of studied patients (70.5%) had experienced prolonged hospitalization as result of occurrence of adverse events '' moderate level of harm'' (category F).Conclusion. When intraoperative nurses' safety practices regarding surgical patients was unsatisfactory along three phases of surgery (sign in, time out, sign out), those patients had experienced adverse events and harm in post-operative departments regardless their age, gender, type of operation, and pervious surgical and general anesthesia history. the study recommended that strict observation and evaluation of nurses` performance during their work as well as correction of poor practices is essential, the need for continuous educational programs for operating room nurses to improve their practices regarding patient safety, and establishing a data base for patients who experienced adverse events in postoperative departments is necessary.

“…Technological progress and the development in many fields of science enforce stronger and lasting relationships between education and employment [33]. New nursing put this group of professionals in need to engagement in personal professional development [1,2]. The analysis of the research results showed that for all the levels of readiness for learning and development average results prevailed and the highest level of readiness for learning and development was presented by nurses in terms of: openness to changes in environment, self-evaluation of past educational development, and effectiveness of on-the-job training [30][31][32].…”

“…In many countries, the issue of in-service training for nurses is an important element of lifelong learning (CPD-Continuum Professional Development) [17,18]. Readiness and aspiration to continue development are among the main features attributed to the role of 21st century nurses, especially in the countries where nurses are an important and numerous professional group in the health care system as in Great Britain, Ireland, Netherlands, or Norway [1,2,[19][20][21]. The current education of nurses in Poland takes place at the academic level of pre-graduate education: the first degree lasts three years, which ends with obtaining a bachelor's degree.…”

From January 2016, nurses in Poland received new competencies for prescribing. The work is the first in Poland to elaborate on the subject of nurses' readiness to learn and develop in the context of new nursing rights regarding autonomous prescription of medication and continuation of the prescription for medication. The aim of the study is to analyze the readiness of Polish nurses to learn and develop in the context of new competencies to write prescriptions. The research was conducted among 756 nurses. The standardized questionnaire (Readiness of Employees for Learning and Development) was used. For all subscales of readiness for learning and development, average scores prevailed. The readiness to write prescriptions was significantly related to the level of openness to changes in the work environment (A1 scale), self-evaluation of past educational development (C5 scale) and educational and professional goals alignment-employee and company (scale D2) and increasing the readiness of nurses to practice all of the aforementioned agents, in particular medical devices. The readiness of nurses to learn and develop at all levels of the subscales was on an average level. Younger nurses, with a shorter seniority, having higher education and additional qualifications had a higher readiness to prescribe medications and write prescriptions. The higher readiness for learning and development was matched by a greater readiness to prescribe. The results obtained can be used to plan training and courses, as well as to create special pro-development programs, which may increase the nurses' involvement in personal and professional development.

“…Hospital managers and HCPs play a key role in improving patient safety (Brasaitė, Kaunonen, Martinkėnas, Mockienė, & Suominen, ; Hughes & Clancy, ; Parand, Dopson, Renz, & Vincent, ). To date studies examining patient participation have been conducted in developed countries and have only looked at the views of patients or HCPs and no qualitative study has included the perspective of policy makers (De Brun, Heavey, Waring, Dawson, & Scott, ; Martin, Navne, & Lipczak, ; Ringdal, Chaboyer, Ulin, Bucknall, & Oxelmark, ; Skagerstrom, Ericsson, Nilsen, Ekstedt, & Schildmeijer, ).…”
