“…Although there is an extensive literature in the United States of America (USA) concerning nursing roles in theatre and anaesthesia (e.g. Schneider 1987, Rothrock 1997, Beyea & Nicoll 1998, De Mello & Pagran 1998, Todd 1998) this does not apply to the United Kingdom (UK). Reports such as those of Lewin (1970) and Bevan (1990) reflect the development of these roles in the UK and describe the difficulties of recruitment and retention of staff in this area of practice.…”

Clinical effectiveness in the post-anaesthesia care unit: how nursing knowledge contributes to achieving intended patient outcomes This paper reports part of an ongoing study on how nursing knowledge develops in practice and influences patient outcomes. The practice focus is post-anaesthesia nursing, an area which has been under-represented in nursing research. A qualitative approach was used to explore narrative data, collected by in-depth interviews, with 32 experienced post-anaesthesia nurses. Data analysis and interpretation were informed by a phenomenological perspective consistent with a research focus on individual experiences. Interpretation of the narratives gave rise to a description of knowledge development which occurred as nurses gained experience, drew on the available knowledge base, and used knowledge in practice. This led to the identification and description of 'referential' and 'effective' types of knowledge. Referential knowledge comprises the variety of external knowledge sources available to inform practice. When referential knowledge was incorporated into the personal knowledge of the individual nurse in everyday practice, it was transformed into effective knowledge which was used by nurses to achieve desired patient outcomes. The study findings indicate that nurses used effective knowledge as evidence for decision making and interventions in everyday practice. The key finding of the study is that effective nursing knowledge requires practice for its development.

“…After I recovered from the shock of receiving her letter, I conducted a self‐assessment of my skills, strengths, and knowledge just as Jane C. Rothrock, RN, DNSc, CNOR suggested in last month's “Career Line.” 2 I took an inventory of my strengths and weaknesses and looked at all aspects of my current job. I also asked myself these questions: What do I really enjoy doing most as a perioperative nurse? What kind of lifestyle do I want to lead? Am I only in my current job for the money? What excites me most about what I could do next in my nursing career? What do I want people to remember me for?…”
