Research Progress on Nursing Interruptions in the Operating Room
Abstract
In recent years, research on nursing interruptions has been conducted at various levels in emergency departments, intensive care units, hemodialysis centers, operating rooms, and sterilization and supply centers. Nursing interruptions are closely related to adverse nursing events, and interruptions in operating room nursing can significantly impact the success of a patient’s surgery. However, there is a lack of in-depth theoretical research on safety risk assessment and response decision-making by operating room nurses when faced with nursing interruptions. This article reviews the concept, current status, and impact of nursing interruptions in the operating room, analyzes the cognitive level, coping strategies, and negative emotions of operating room nurses, and elaborates on management strategies to provide references for research and management of nursing interruptions in the operating room.
