The practice of core competencies : A qualitative interview study of operating theater nurses’ experiences of working in the operating theater (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Operationssjuksköterskan har en skyddad yrkestitel som innebär specifikt ansvar för patienten både före, under och efter det kirurgiska ingreppet. Ansvaret formuleras i kärnkompetenserna i kompetensbeskrivning för specialistsjuksköterska inom operationssjukvård. Syfte: Att beskriva operationssjuksköterskors upplevelser av att arbeta på operationssalen. Metod: En kvalitativ metod användes där fem semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med operationssjuksköterskor med minst ett års yrkeserfarenhet. Datamaterialet analyserades enligt kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i ett övergripande tema: Operationssjuksköterskans arbete präglas av att omväxlande fokusera på helhet och delar, samt tre kategorier; att arbeta i team, att hitta sin plats och att ha patienten i fokus. Konklusion: Studien visade att kontinuitet i teamets sammansättning har betydelse för hur väl kommunikation och samarbete fungerar under en operation. Väl inarbetade team medför ett effektivare och kvalitativt bättre arbete och en säkrare vård för patienten.
