“…This means that, in this study, the lowest scores in the dimensions of personality and motivation were still higher than the highest scores in the study of Wang et al . [ 19 ] In addition, Lim and Yi[ 20 ] compared the staff of two ORs and general surgery wards in terms of the dimensions of communication and interpersonal communication ability of clinical competence. According to their results, OR was a relatively more complicated and specialized environment, compared to the general surgery ward, and required competent staff to establish interpersonal relationships.…”

“…However, improving the content of university courses might be one of the most important factors for training competent OR nurses. [ 16 ] In this regard, Lim and Yi[ 20 ] argued that while work experience increased the clinical competence of the staff, it was skill training and proper functioning of the academic course that more improved the clinical competence of nurses.…”

Background: Operating Rooms (ORs) are complicated environments that necessitate the improvement of OR staff's knowledge and skills to remain clinically competent and secure patient safety. The aim of this study was to assess clinical competence of OR staff in accordance with some related factors. Materials and Methods: This descriptive analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 227 OR staff in nine academic hospitals. Sampling was performed from the beginning to the end of May 2019 and the samples were selected by quota sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire encompassing six dimensions of competency including general knowledge, specialized knowledge, general practical skills, specific practical skills, personality, and motivation. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and interpretive statistics. Results: The mean (SD) total score of competence was 80.99, which was optimal (11.28). The lowest score was related to the dimension of general practical skills with the mean (SD) score of 53.32 (10.26). The mean score of specialized practical skills was significantly higher in single-specialty ORs (F = 21.53, p < 0.001). Based on multiple linear regression test, it was possible to predict clinical competency through the age and work experience (R-squared = 0.96, beta = 0.31, p = 0.022). Conclusions: Specialized training has overshadowed the general practical skills that are related to the observation of basic principles of patient safety apart from surgical specialization. Strengthening of competence in general practical skills need to be prioritized in empowerment programs. We need a fixed and permanent space for the continuation of educational programs designed to promote perioperative general practical skills.

“…OR nurses are responsible for maintaining accurate records and smooth operation based on speed, expertise, and advanced technology. 11,12 Patient safety is one of the most important responsibilities of OR nursing. They are responsible for accurately counting surgical instruments, preventing patient damage during all stages of the procedure, and accurately checking patients before surgery to ensure patient safety.…”

This study attempted to assess the perceived importance and performance of patient-safety nursing among operating room (OR) nurses and to identify the "concentrate here" level using importance-performance analysis (IPA). The goal was to identify the educational priorities of patient-safety nursing and to use it as foundational data to develop educational programs. Methods: The IPA of patient-safety nursing (infection control, patient identification, specimen management, surgical coefficient, medical equipment and supplies, high-alert medicines, and damage prevention) was surveyed online for nurses in general hospitals in Korea, and the data of 47 participants were analyzed. Differences in the importance and performance of patient-safety nursing were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test, and IPA was conducted to identify areas on which improvement efforts should be focused. Results: Within the six areas of OR patient-safety nursing, notable differences in importance and performance were observed in infection control and surgical count areas. The IPA revealed specific items that require "concentrate here", including handwashing, checking the cleanliness and sterility of medical equipment, and conducting 5-Rights checks before administering high-alert medications. Conclusion:Regular training for OR nurses should encompass preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative infection control, as well as appropriate surgical counts. In particular, training, monitoring, feedback, and intervention should be provided on hand hygiene, sterilization maintenance, and accurate administration of high-alert medications, which are items included in "concentrate here".

“…Communication competence is essential for OR nurses, who collaborate with other medical staff and perform nursing tasks within the operating team [ 17 , 18 ]. However, the communication competence of OR nurses was not sufficient, compared to that of nurses working in general wards [ 19 ]. It was determined that job stress and resilience were associated with the communication competence of OR nurses [ 20 ], and communication competence was negatively correlated with burnout in OR nurses [ 21 ].…”

Background Burnout negatively impacts the personal and professional life of nurses. Job stress and resilience have been determined to be associated with nurse burnout. Given the importance of communication competence in operating room (OR) nurses, the associations of job stress, resilience, and communication competence with burnout have not been examined. Purpose To determine the relationships of job stress, resilience, and communication competence to burnout of OR nurses in South Korea. Methods This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study of 146 OR nurses. A series of self-reported questionnaires was used to assess job stress, resilience, communication competence, and burnout. Pearson correlation coefficient and a hierarchical linear regression were used for data analysis. Results Communication competence was correlated with resilience (r = 0.65, p < .001) and burnout (r = -0.44, p < .001), and resilience was correlated with burnout (r = -0.48, p < .001). Resilience (β = -0.22, p = .027) and communication competence (β = -0.33, p < .001) were associated with burnout of OR nurses in a hierarchical linear regression (F = 6.28, p < .001). Conclusions Increased resilience and communication competence were associated with lower burnout of perioperative nurses. To prevent and reduce burnout of OR nurses, it is necessary to develop and implement a program targeting for communication competence and resilience. Implications for nursing management Nurse leaders should provide programs fostering communication competence and resilience to OR nurses and encourage them to actively participate in such job trainings.
