“…[2][3][4][5]7,8,[10][11][12][13][14][15] In one article on academic-practice partnerships, authors described the development of three specialty electives (ie, in oncology, perioperative, and neonatal intensive care nursing) created to meet the needs of both students and clinical practice partners. 16 The authors attribute course success to a strong academic-practice partnership and commitment to preparing students for the unique nursing roles in these areas. In their reflections on the perioperative elective, students indicated they felt more confident and prepared after completing each of the courses.…”

“…An additional student benefit was the ability to create relationships with personnel in reputable health care organizations and use these to facilitate employment. 16 In a qualitative study of 19 students who had completed a perioperative elective worth three credit hours, researchers investigated the influence that the course had on the students' career path in nursing. Students attended one of two focus groups.…”

To help solve the perioperative nursing shortage, it is imperative that health care leaders understand why students choose or do not choose to pursue a career in perioperative nursing. In May 2021, we published the results of a specialty elective course evaluation from a leadership and perioperative services personnel perspective; in the current article, we examine the same program from the students’ perspective. We distributed survey links to undergraduate nursing students to evaluate their perioperative knowledge before and after completing the course. Students reported large gains in knowledge, critical thinking, teamwork, and confidence at course completion, but the posttest mean number of students with an interest in pursuing perioperative nursing was lower than the pretest mean. This realization is perceived as a positive outcome of the perioperative elective course because it may lead to a decrease in turnover among newly hired perioperative nurses.

Perioperative nursing education in Brazil: reviewing the past to survive the future

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objectives: to summarize historical aspects related to perioperative nursing education in Brazil and to outline future perspectives. Methods: a descriptive-reflexive essay about the historical process of Brazilian perioperative teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels. Results: the reflection addresses the historical axes of perioperative nursing, teaching perioperative nursing, curriculum changes, graduate studies and relationship with the perioperative period and trends in perioperative nursing education. Curriculum changes reduced time available for teaching and learning, with a focus on the perioperative period, and diluted contents of surgical nursing in other subjects, which could cause irreversible losses for generalist nurses’ training. Final Considerations: when reviewing historical aspects of national nursing curricula, it was found that the nomenclature perioperative nursing was never used in the curriculum, however, the surgical area has always been contemplated in undergraduate and graduate studies. Future trends indicate the need to integrate themes and prepare professionals with perspectives focused on global health and technology.

“…Neste contexto, percebe-se um movimento mundial direcionado a atender às demandas das novas gerações e suas necessidades de aprendizado, tornando os conteúdos atrativos, ao mesmo tempo que preparam profissionais para atender às necessidades do mercado profissional, fortemente atingido pela carência de mão-de-obra qualificada, devido ao envelhecimento dos especialistas na área e à ausência de reposição adequada para as aposentadorias (6)(7) .…”

Educação em enfermagem perioperatória no Brasil: rever o passado para sobreviver ao futuro

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

RESUMO Objetivos: sumarizar aspectos históricos relacionados ao ensino de enfermagem perioperatória no Brasil e traçar perspectivas futuras. Métodos: trata-se de um ensaio descritivo-reflexivo acerca do processo histórico do ensino perioperatório brasileiro no âmbito da graduação e pós-graduação. Resultados: a reflexão aborda os eixos histórico da enfermagem perioperatória, ensino da enfermagem perioperatória, mudanças curriculares, pós-graduação e relação com o perioperatório e tendências do ensino de enfermagem perioperatória. Alterações curriculares reduziram o tempo disponível de ensino-aprendizagem, com enfoque no perioperatório, e diluíram os conteúdos de enfermagem cirúrgica em outras disciplinas, podendo causar perdas irreversíveis para a formação de enfermeiros generalistas. Considerações Finais: ao rever aspectos históricos dos currículos nacionais da enfermagem, constatou-se que a nomenclatura enfermagem perioperatória nunca foi utilizada nos currículos, contudo a área cirúrgica sempre foi contemplada na graduação e pós-graduação. Tendências futuras assinalam a necessidade de integrar temáticas e preparar profissionais com perspectivas direcionadas à saúde mundial e tecnologia.
