“…The most reported AE was the presence of pain, followed by postoperative complications (bleeding and wound infection). This is similar to national ( 21 , 37 ) and international ( 38 ) studies and suggest that efficient measures should be taken and safe practices applied ( 12 ) . It is important to note that most AE, such as pain, can be prevented or eliminated if detected early.…”

Objetivo: investigar a segurança e a satisfação de pacientes e sua relação com os cuidados dos enfermeiros no perioperatório. Método: estudo multinível, transversal, correlacional, realizado com 105 enfermeiros da área cirúrgica e 150 pacientes operados em um hospital terciário espanhol. Para os enfermeiros foram coletadas as variáveis sociodemográficas, a percepção do ambiente de trabalho, o desgaste profissional e a satisfação no trabalho. Para os pacientes, a segurança de eventos adversos e nível de satisfação, por meio de registros e questionários. Utilizou-se análise multinível, univariada e multivariada. Resultados: satisfação no trabalho, compromisso profissional e participação em questões hospitalares foram preditores negativos para eventos adversos relacionados ao paciente, enquanto o cuidado do enfermeiro no pós-operatório foi um preditor positivo. Conclusão: observa-se aumento dos eventos adversos quando os enfermeiros têm insatisfação no trabalho, menor compromisso profissional e baixa disponibilidade para participar nos assuntos de sua unidade. Por outro lado, os eventos adversos diminuem quando os enfermeiros realizam os cuidados no pós-operatório. A satisfação foi boa e não houve associação com as características do cuidado dos enfermeiros. Recomenda-se melhorar esses preditores para aumentar a segurança de pacientes cirúrgicos.

“…Empirical evidence has shown that there is need to relieve POP within a reasonable time frame because of its negative effects on clinical outcomes (Bruckenthal & Simpson, 2016; Francis & Fitzpatrick, 2013). Inadequately controlled pain negatively affects quality of life, function, and functional recovery (Kehlet, Jensen, & Woolf, 2006).…”

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Postoperative Pain Management by Nurses in Selected District Hospitals in Ghana

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: There is documented evidence pointing to the fact that there are numerous challenges with postoperative pain (POP) management globally. However, these challenges with POP management are more profound in developing countries. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the knowledge, attitude, and practices of nurses concerning POP management in four selected district hospitals in Ghana. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was employed to evaluate nurse's knowledge, attitude, and practices pertaining to POP management. Multistaged sampling was used to draw the respondents. An adapted version of the Nurses Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain instrument was used to test the knowledge, attitude, and practices of nurses and midwives. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data in order to present quantitative descriptions of variables in this study. Results: This study showed that nurses in the four district hospitals had knowledge deficits regarding POP management. Eighty-one representing 48% of nurses had low knowledge on POP management. An overwhelming majority of nurses (97.6%) relied on routinely rendered basic nursing skills to relieve POP and a few used pharmacological interventions. However, nurses had good attitudes toward POP management. Conclusions: POP is ineffectively managed by nurses in district hospitals in Ghana. Nurses and midwives in Ghana need to adhere to best practices in POP management by increasing their theoretical and practical knowledge, so that there will be tangible positive change in POP management in Ghana. Recommendations: Nurses must be empowered through continuous development programs to keep abreast with changing trends that pertain to POP management.

Synergism in Perioperative Services

This article presents an analysis of the concept of synergism in perioperative services. Perioperative services can account for a hospital's highest expenditures and net income or loss, and leaders must understand how to maximize outcomes by creating value above expectations. Using Walker and Avant's methodology, I examined the use of synergism in the literature across multiple databases. The concept has been used in business, information technology, psychology, engineering, and theology. In health care, it is used to explain the effects of combined medications, teamwork, biological systems, patient care, cleaning effectiveness, and health promotion partnerships. I identified two attributes: an emergent property and increased positivity. Optimized outcomes, increased patient and employee satisfaction, and high net revenue are evidence of perioperative synergism. Synergism in this context is dependent on team cohesion, communication, workplace adaptability, and the tactical allocation of resources to ensure unimpeded flow of the patient through the system.
