“…22 Being in a temporary friendship can be perceived as nurses making time for patients. 23 When this occurs, nurses gain strength and a sense of joy through that work 24 and feel that they are developing professionally. 25 When nurses must achieve more in less time, they cannot do all that is possible for patients, 26 which in turn creates a conflict of values for them.…”

This study focuses on investigating habits in perioperative nursing culture, which are often simply accepted and not normally considered or discussed. A hermeneutical approach was chosen as the means of understanding perioperative nurses' experiences of and reflections on operating theatre culture. Focus group discussions were used to collect data, which was analysed using hermeneutical text analysis. The results revealed three main categories of habits present in perioperative nursing culture: habits that promote ethical values (by temporary friendship with patients, showing respect for each other, and spending time on reflection on ethics and caring); habits that hinder progress (by seeing the patient as a surgical case, not acknowledging colleagues, and not talking about ethics); and habits that set the cultural tone (the hidden power structure and achieving more in less time).

Establishing a purposive interaction with a patient who is in a vulnerable situation prior to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery poses a challenge for the nurse anesthetist. The aim of this study was to identify and describe the interaction between the patient and nurse anesthetist immediately prior to elective CABG surgery. An observational study including 11 situations where the patient and the nurse anesthetist interacted was performed. A theoretical selection of patients and nurse anesthetists was made and data were analyzed using constant comparative method. The core category, Reassurance, emerged from the categories Continuity, Confirmation and Control. Continuity was characterized by expedient anesthesia nursing of high quality, Confirmation was related to communication in a trusting atmosphere and Control was associated with skilled nursing interventions in the thoracic operating theatre.In conclusion, reassurance can be achieved through a well-structured anesthesia nursing performance at the thoracic operating theatre, and by focusing on the patient and continuously giving him/her information during the preoperative preparation.

“…Therefore, the mere presence of a sympathetic nurse may make patients feel better. Researchers in day case and operating theatre departments have found this to be an important element of patient care (Parsons et al 1993, Leinonen et al 1996, Rudolfsson et al 2003, Mitchell 1997, 2005.…”
