Abstract
This research was a cross-sectional study. The purpose was to assess performance of perioperative nurses in relation to the standard of perioperative nursing in one university hospital. The study analyzed the associations between personal characteristics, knowledge on the standard of perioperative nursing, work ability, professional nursing values and performance of perioperative nurses in relation to the standard of perioperative nursing. The samples were 205 perioperative nurses. Data were collected using questionnaires of personal characteristics, knowledge on the standard of perioperative nursing, work ability, professional nursing values and performance of perioperative nurses in relation to the standard of perioperative nursing. All questionnaires were tested for content validity and reliability using Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient. Reliability of knowledge on the standard of perioperative nursing was at 0.71, work ability reliability was at 0.80, reliability of professional nursing values was at 0.95 and performance of perioperative nurses in relation to the standard of perioperative nursing was at 0.99. Questionnaires were gathered from 25th November 2016 to 25th December 2016, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analysis. The research results found that 67.8% of perioperative nurses had standard of perioperative nursing overall at a good level. Among nursing performance of perioperative care which could perform at the highest level is the 8th standard, patient’s rights protection. And the least is the 5th standard of health promotion. 79.5% of the sample had knowledge on the standard of perioperative nursing at a good level; 68.3% of the sample had work ability at a good level and a good level of professional nursing values at 95.1%. The factors associated with performance of perioperative nurses in relation to the standard of perioperative nursing in one university hospital consisted of work experience in operation room at least 6 years and over (Adj. OR = 3.80; 95% CI 1.93 - 7.50) and professional nursing value at a good level (Adj. OR = 1.09; 95% CI 1.01 - 1.18). From this research, all perioperative nurses should be encouraged to participate and give importance or play a role in health promotion to provide information and health knowledge and continuing care for patients who undergo more surgery, and sustain the career of perioperative nurses who have been working in the operating room from 6 years and up, including promoting good professional values in order to improve the quality of perioperative nursing in accordance with standard.
