RESUMEN
The purpose of this study was to develop a standardized hand-off program based on the SWITCH tool (surgical procedure, wet, instruments, tissue, counts, have you any questions?) and to examine its effectiveness in terms of self-reported perceptions of hand-off satisfaction, self-efficacy, surgical nursing performance, and communication competence among OR staff members. This randomized controlled trial used a nonsynchronized control group with a pretest and posttest design. The nurses in the experimental group received one educational session and used the standardized hand-off tool for four weeks. The control group performed hand offs using the usual method rather than a tool. After the intervention, self-reported hand-off satisfaction (P = .001), self-efficacy (P = .005), and surgical nursing performance (P < .001) scores were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. A standardized hand-off tool can improve nurse perceptions of satisfaction, self-efficacy, and surgical nursing performance.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to examine related factors of operating room nurses' attitudes and awareness towards surgery-related pressure injury prevention in Turkey, Croatia, and Italy. METHODS: A descriptive and cross-sectional design was used. The study was conducted between March and September 2023. Data were collected with an online questionnaire created on Google Forms, consisting of a Nurse Information Form, a Surgery-related Pressure Injury Awareness Form, and the Attitude towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention Instrument. RESULTS: The sample of the study consisted of 258 operating room nurses working in Turkey, Croatia, and Italy. It was found that the majority of the participants (70.90 %) did not use a risk scale, had not received education on pressure injury prevention and treatment (58.10 %) but wanted to receive it (86 %). Mean attitude scores of operating room nurses by country were at an adequate level in Turkey (42.48 ± 4.30) but not at the desired level in Croatia (37.48 ± 3.44) and Italy (36.20 ± 4.02). While there was a significant positive relationship between the awareness and attitudes of operating room nurses in Turkey (p = 0.002) and Croatia (p < 0.001), no relationship was found between these variables of nurses in Italy (p = 0.109). A statistically significant difference was found between nurses' consideration of themselves sufficient and their attitudes and awareness in all three countries (p < 0.05). It was also determined that reading articles affected nurses' awareness in all countries. CONCLUSIONS: While operating room nurses' attitudes towards preventing pressure injuries were adequate in Turkey, it was determined that those of the nurses in Croatia and Italy were not at the desired level. Nurses should receive regular training on surgical pressure injuries to increase their awareness and to support them in implementing the recommendations of pressure injury guidelines in accordance with institutional policy.

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to reveal the awareness and perceptions of operating room nurses concerning inadvertent hypothermia, as well as their experiences and recommendations for its prevention. DESIGN: The study employed a phenomenological qualitative approach. METHODS: This study was conducted with 17 nurses working in the operating room of a university hospital in Konya, Turkey. Data were collected face to face between 15 August and 30 September 2022 using the in-depth individual interview method. The data were subjected to inductive content analysis. Written permission was obtained from the hospital, the ethics committee, and the participants to conduct the study. FINDINGS: The mean age of the nurses was 28.4 years and the majority were female. The nurses were graduates of a four-year health vocational high school, a two-year nursing associate degree program, or a four-year nursing bachelors' degree program. Their operating room experience ranged from 1 to 22 years. All the nurses were aware of inadvertent hypothermia, and all but one encountered hypothermia and applied preventive measures. The data analysis revealed 263 codes, 12 categories, and 4 themes on the awareness and perceptions of operating room nurses about inadvertent hypothermia and their experiences and recommendations for its prevention. CONCLUSIONS: The findings showed that the majority of the participants were aware of inadvertent hypothermia and its risk factors, and frequently encountered inadvertent hypothermia despite implementing preventive measures.

INTRODUCTION: Counting of accountable items used during surgery, frequently called 'the count', is a fundamental practice to ensure that items such as surgical instruments, sponges and sharps are not forgotten within patients. Although inadvertently leaving behind a sponge or instrument at the end of an operation is a rare event, it is an error that may have serious implications. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this evidence implementation project was to contribute to promoting evidence-based practice in surgical counts in open abdominal and pelvic surgeries and thereby improving the outcomes of the surgical patients at a surgical centre of a university hospital. METHODS: The current evidence implementation project used the JBI Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System and Getting Research into Practice (GRiP) audit and feedback tool. The JBI Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System and GRiP framework for promoting evidence-based healthcare involves three phases of activity: first, establishing a project team and undertaking a baseline audit based on evidence-informed criteria; second, reflecting on the results of the baseline audit and designing and implementing strategies to address non-compliance found in the baseline audit informed by the JBI GRiP framework; third, conducting a follow-up audit to assess the outcomes of the interventions implemented to improve practice, and identify future practice issues to be addressed in subsequent audits. These three phases were performed over a period of 6 months, from August 2017 to March 2018. RESULTS: The baseline audit revealed deficits between old and best practice in all criteria. Barriers for implementation of a protocol for surgical counts were identified, and strategies were implemented. The postimplementation (follow-up) audit showed improvement in compliance with best practice in six of the audit criteria selected except two, a multidisciplinary team approach to decrease retained surgical items, and limited staff hand-offs during surgical procedures to ensure the same team is present in all counting episodes. CONCLUSION: The main achievements of the study included substantial increases in compliance with best practice. However, registration and report and commitment of all members of surgical team to apply the entire protocol, avoiding to skip any step, persist as challenges.

BACKGROUND: The saphenous vein is the most commonly used conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Wound healing complications related to saphenous vein harvesting are common, with reported surgical site infection rates ranging from 2 to 20%. Patients' risk factors, perioperative hygiene routines, and surgical technique play important roles in wound complications. Here we describe the perioperative routines and surgical methods of Swedish operating theatre (OT) nurses and cardiac surgeons. METHODS: A national cross-sectional survey with descriptive design was conducted to evaluate perioperative hygiene routines and surgical methods associated with saphenous vein harvesting in CABG. A web-based questionnaire was sent to OT nurses and cardiac surgeons at all eight hospitals performing CABG surgery in Sweden. RESULTS: Responses were received from all hospitals. The total response rate was 62/119 (52%) among OT nurses and 56/111 (50%) among surgeons. Chlorhexidine 5 mg/mL in 70% ethanol was used at all eight hospitals. The OT nurses almost always (96.8%) performed the preoperative skin disinfection, usually for three to 5 minutes. Chlorhexidine was also commonly used before dressing the wound. Conventional technique was used by 78.6% of the surgeons, "no-touch" by 30.4%, and both techniques by 9%. None of the surgeons used endoscopic vein harvesting. Type of suture and technique used for closing the wound differed markedly between the centres. CONCLUSIONS: In this article we present insights into the hygiene routines and surgical methods currently used by OT nurses and cardiac surgeons in Sweden. The results indicate both similarities and differences between the centres. Local traditions might be the most important factors in determining which procedures are employed in the OT. There is a lack of evidence-based hygiene routines and surgical methods.

Perioperative communication failures endanger patient safety and may reduce efficiency. The objective of our phenomenological research study was to determine the reasons for and consequences of perioperative communication failures and to seek recommendations for improvement. Fourteen perioperative nurses participated in this study. We conducted in-depth interviews with a semi-structured questionnaire following Colaizzi's seven-step methodology to extract themes. We organized the themes into categories: causes, consequences, and recommendations for preventing communication failure. Some themes for causes were inadequate time for preoperative preparation, lack of personnel, and disruptive behaviors of physicians. Consequences of communication failure were decreased staff retention, avoidance of colleagues, threats to patient safety, and intra-team violence. Two recommendations included enforcing institutional regulations and creating team spirit. The study revealed that nurses believe that institutional regulations should not only be present but enforced. Further, nurses believe that strengthening employees' interpersonal skills is essential to preventing communication issues.

International operating room nurses come from different regions of the world with diverse social and cultural backgrounds, religions, personal beliefs, and education. They are likely to form unique attitudes toward multi-organ procurement that potentially might affect their opinions and clinical practices. The aim of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of international operating room nurses participating in deceased organ procurement procedures in Australia. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 18 international operating room nurses. van Manen's phenomenological data analysis method was adopted to uncover and interpret meanings from these nurses' descriptions. Four essential themes emerged and evolved to signify the meanings of participants' experiences in organ procurement procedures: the surreality of death, personal and professional challenges, becoming stronger, and personal beliefs and wishes. The present study highlights the importance of cultural awareness in dealing with death, organ procurement, and interprofessional collaboration in the multi-cultural perioperative context. It is essential to provide clinical education and support around culture and practice transition for international operating room nurses to increase and maintain their professional confidence, career satisfaction, health, and well-being during organ procurement surgery.

OBJECTIVE: This study sought to develop a method that supports a more evidence-based approach to evaluating multiple design options in virtual reality (VR), combining subjective insights gathered using traditional approaches and objective feedback gathered using the VR platform. Additionally, this study sought to understand how objective data garnered from the VR platform could be used to compliment traditional evaluation strategies. BACKGROUND: VR can be a viable research platform for supporting evidence-based design practices. Prior studies have predominately utilized experiential user feedback. While able to provide valuable subjective insights, these approaches are less effective in making objective comparisons between multiple designs alternatives. METHOD: A repeated measures study was conducted with nursing faculty. User feedback was captured through surveys, interviews, and the VR platform. RESULTS: The survey, interview, and the objective VR data converged in terms of identifying the highest performing design option. Survey data showed that Room 2 performed best in terms of perceived physical access to supplies, unobstructed movement, and availability of space to accommodate additional equipment. VR data showed that participants in Room 2 had significantly higher visibility to both patient and care partners throughout their simulated interaction. CONCLUSION: Simulation-based evaluations in VR that use a combination of users' subjective insights and objective data obtained from VR can be an effective tool for helping designers evaluate multiple design options. The use of scenario-based simulations provided a structured and clinically relevant approach to comparing three preoperative rooms, supporting a more robust assessment of users' physical response to a simulated healthcare environment.

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a quick response code-based nursing education program to improve the competence of operation and recovery room nurses. An experimental methodological design was used to develop a quick response code-based nursing educational program and analyze its effects and nurses' satisfaction with its use. The quick response code-based nursing education program was developed in five steps based on the ADDIE model: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The program was built on smartphones, and a Web site was linked to it. After testing the program for 40 days, nurses' attitudes toward various medical devices were significantly less negative. Nurses were able to use a large number of medical devices and were highly satisfied and willing to engage with the quick response code-based nursing educational program. In the context of nursing education, introducing educational content using quick response codes helps to improve nurses' knowledge and competence in providing high-quality nursing care and medical services.

BACKGROUND: Virtual Reality (VR) simulation has recently been developed and has improved surgical training. Most VR simulators focus on learning technical skills and few on procedural skills. Studies that evaluated VR simulators focused on feasibility, reliability or easiness of use, but few of them used a specific acceptability measurement tool. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to assess acceptability and usability of a new VR simulator for procedural skill training among scrub nurses, based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. PARTICIPANTS: The simulator training system was tested with a convenience sample of 16 non-expert users and 13 expert scrub nurses from the neurosurgery department of a French University Hospital. METHODS: The scenario was designed to train scrub nurses in the preparation of the instrumentation table for a craniotomy in the operating room (OR). RESULTS: Acceptability of the VR simulator was demonstrated with no significant difference between expert scrub nurses and non-experts. There was no effect of age, gender or expertise. Workload, immersion and simulator sickness were also rated equally by all participants. Most participants stressed its pedagogical interest, fun and realism, but some of them also regretted its lack of visual comfort. CONCLUSION: This VR simulator designed to teach surgical procedures can be widely used as a tool in initial or vocational training.

BACKGROUND: Orthopedic operating room (OR) nurses entail specialized skills and training, which are not part of the regular curricula at most nursing college. Instead, many nursing students' exposure to orthopedic care in the orthopedic range is limited to occasional observational assignments. Additionally, teamwork is an important factor affecting the performance of the orthopedic OR nurses. This results in a knowledge gap in clinical nursing education. Problem and scripting based learning (PSBL) method is a crucial tool of pre-operative prepared improvement. It is easy for surgeon to record surgical video from his own field of vision by wearable technology (WT). Nevertheless, few studies related to combine WT and PSBL been done to investigate features underlying efficiency in training of novice orthopedic OR nurses. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of combining WT with PSBL in training of novice orthopedic OR nurses. METHODS: 20 operating room post-graduate-year-1 nurses from the First Hospital of China Medical University were randomly divided into two groups ("conventional training (CT)" group and "WT combining with PSBL" group). Initially the superior orthopedic operating room nurses who immediately followed each procedure filled out a feedback questionnaire of the novice nurses. After finished procedure, novice nurses had a basic understanding of each training method benefits and then filled out the questionnaires. Statistical analysis of the results was performed. RESULTS: Novice nurses of WT&PSBL Group got the better score in most of the preparedness and performance feedback statement. Mean scores of overall total preparedness and performance feedback statement of WT&PSBL Group was higher than CT Group (Pâ¯≤â¯0.05). Based on summarizing the questionnaires, the novice nurse in WT- PSBL Group also made significantly better total score than "Conventional training" Group (Pâ¯≤â¯0.05). CONCLUSIONS: WT&PSBL method, as a crucial tool for improving pre-operative preparedness and intra-operative performance, can cultivate novice orthopedic operating room nurses' ability to use prior knowledge and cognitive frameworks flexibly to deal with problems during performance. It plays a crucial role in training confident and safe orthopedic operating room nurses. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial (RCT).

OBJECTIVE: Quantifying non-routine events (NREs) assists with identify underlying sociotechnical factors that could lead to adverse events. NREs are considered any event that is unusual or atypical during surgical procedures. This study aimed to use prospective observations to characterize the occurrence of non-routine events in gynecological surgeries. METHODS: Observational data were collected prospectively within one surgical gynecology department over a five month period. Researchers captured NREs in real time using a validated tablet PC-based tool according to the NRE type, impact, whom was affected, and duration. Researchers also noted what surgical approach (i.e. open, laparoscopic, robotic) was used. RESULTS: Across 45 surgical cases, 554 non-routine events (Mâ¯=â¯12.31 NREs per case, SDâ¯=â¯9.81) were identified. The majority of non-routine events were external interruptions (40.3%), teamwork (26.7%), or equipment (21.3%). The circulating nurse was most frequently affected by NREs (43.2%) followed by the entire surgical team (13.7%). There was no statistically significant difference in non-routine events based on surgical approach. CONCLUSION: Non-routine events are prevalent in the gynecological surgical setting. Identifying the sociotechnical factors that influence non-routine events are important in determining interventions that will combat the associated risks. Interventions focusing on teamwork, managing external interruptions, and coordinating equipment may have the greatest impact to reduce or eliminate NREs in gynecological surgeries.

AIM: To assess how the adjacencies of functionally different areas within operating rooms (ORs) can influence the circulating nurse's (CN) workflow patterns and disruptions. BACKGROUND: The CN plays a significant role in promoting patient safety during surgical procedures by observing, monitoring, and managing potential threats at and around the surgical field. Their work requires constant movement to different parts of the OR to support team members. The layout of the OR and crowded and cluttered environment might impact the CN's workflow and cause disruptions during the surgery. METHOD: A convenience sample of 25 surgeries were video recorded and thematically coded for CN's activities, locations, and flow disruptions. The OR layout was categorized into transitional zones and functional zones (workstations, supply zones, support zones, and sterile areas around the surgical table). CN's activities were classified into patient-, equipment-, material-, and information-related activities. Flow disruptions included those related to environmental hazards and layout. RESULTS: The CN traveled through multiple zones during 91% of the activities. The CN's workstation acted as a main hub from which the CN made frequent trips to both sides of the surgical table, the foot of the OR table, supply zones, and support zones. Transitional zones accounted for 58.3% of all flow disruption that the CN was involved in whereas 28% occurred in areas surrounding the OR bed. CONCLUSION: The similarity of the movement and flow disruption patterns, despite variations in OR layout, highlighted the adjacencies required between major zones that CNs regularly visit. These optimum adjacencies should be considered while designing ORs such that they are more efficient and safer.
