ABSTRACT
In this study of delegated intraoperative nursing activities performed by surgical technologists (STs) in low-risk and high-risk surgical procedures, 343 OR directors, perioperative nurses, and STs from rural, community, and medical center hospitals reported that STs frequently perform activities related to surgical counts, the sterile field, and equipment and supplies. Surgical technologists do not frequently perform tasks related to patient transportation, teaching, medication administration, OR environment, patient monitoring, and patients' rights. The investigator used nine competency statements of intraoperative nursing as a framework for the research instrument. Data analysis determined that the levels of risk in patient situations affects how frequently STs perform transportation, teaching, sterile field, OR environment, and patients' rights activities.
