“…In addition, they are faced hazardous objects including chemicals and disinfectants, radiographic rays, sharp objects and blood pathogens, surgical smoke, waste anesthetic gases, long sleep deprivation, injuries caused by long standing and holding the instruments and equipment during surgery. In other words, these stressful problems include biological, chemical, and physical factors that may increase burnout ( Rothrock, 2019 ; Li et al, 2021 ; Fereidouni et al, 2022 ).…”

BackgroundOccupational burnout is a mental health problem that among nurses may lead not only to physical and psychological complications, but also to a decrease in the quality of patient care. Considering the stressful nature of surgery, operating room nurses may be at a greater risk. Therefore, the present study aimed to identifying factors associated with the occupational burnout from the perspective of operating room nurses.Materials and methodsThis qualitative study was conducted in Iran in 2021 using conventional content analysis. Sampling was performed using purposeful sampling method with maximum variation. In order to collect data, individual, semi-structured interviews were performed with 18 operating room nurses. Interviews continued until data saturation. Data were recorded, transcribed and analyzed using steps proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. Data management was performed using MAXQDA-2020 software. Four criteria provided by Guba and Lincoln were used to improve the study’s trustworthiness and rigor.ResultsA main theme, 4 categories and 15 subcategories were extracted from the data. The main theme is “gradual burnout due to job tension” and categories and subcategories include organizational factors (manager incompetence, organizational indifference, ambiguity in organizational role, organizational inconsistency), interpersonal factors (surgeon aggression, surgeon authoritarianism, surgeon failure to manage stress, unprofessional behavior of nurses), Occupational nature factors (psychological factors and occupational hazards) as well as individual factors (occupational attitude, unprofessional behavior, emotional involvement, demographic factors, physical factors).ConclusionNumerous factors associated with burnout in operating room nurses, which may put the personnel under more pressure. According to these factors, nursing managers and operating room nurses can consider effective strategies to prevent or coping with burnout.

Objective Clinical education plays a key role in preparing students for patient care. Laparoscopy is one of the most important minimally invasive surgeries (MISs) wherein surgical technologists are responsible for camera navigation and assistant surgeons are responsible for peg transfer. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the attitude of the operating room students toward these skills during their study period. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of simulating training in the fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery (FLS) on the attitude of the operating room students. Methods This interventional study was conducted on 28 operating room students of Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2019. The census sampling method was used. The data-collection tool included the “Intrinsic motivation inventory (IMI) questionnaire.” The educational intervention was carried out in theoretical (booklet design) and practical (simulation) sections. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential analyses including the paired t-test, Mann–Whitney U test, and independent t-test. The collected data were analyzed using R and SPSS software. P-value <0.05 was considered as the significant level. Results The mean ± SD of the participants’ age was 22.93 ± 2.14 years, and the majority of them were women (67.9%). There was a significant difference in the mean scores of students’ attitudes toward the FLS before and after the educational intervention (P < 0.001) in all dimensions (interest, perceived competence, perceived choice, and tension). There was also a significant correlation between gender and interest dimension (P = 0.005). Conclusions The results of the present study showed that simulating the training FLS curriculum positively affects students’ attitudes. Therefore, the researchers suggest that for creating a positive attitude, increasing students’ interest in laparoscopic surgery, and ensuring a more effective presence in the operating room, this training should be considered in the operating room curriculum.
