Description

<p>The aim of this study was to clarify the stressors of nurses who were relocated to the operating room (OR) by conducting a literature review.</p><p>A literature search with “OR, ” “nurse, ” and “relocation” or “reassignment” as keywords was performed using the Japan Medical Abstracts Society Database (web version) from 1998 to 2018. Documents were chosen according to the following criteria: (1) original papers excluding minutes in Japan and (2) a description pertaining to a stressor of the nurse who was relocated to the OR, which can be read form the Title and Abstract. In total, 14 documents were selected for the analysis. Descriptions were categorized in accordance with their similarities.</p><p>The stressors of nurses relocated to the OR were divided into five categories: [groping acquisition of operative nursing competencies], [distinct relationships in the OR], [constant feeling of tension at work], [undesired relocation], and [difficulty in adapting to invisible rules]. [Groping acquisition of operative nursing competencies] consisted of subcategories including “learning from scratch, ” “handling of medical equipment/instruments, ” “inadequate guidance system/contents, ” “unevaluated ward experience, ” and “negative self-assessment.” [Distinct relationships in the OR] consisted of “relationship with doctors different from wards, ” “dense relationship among nurses, ” “shallow relationship with patients, ” and “closed environment of the OR.” [Constant feeling of tension while at work] included “tense situation, ” “extreme anxiety and tension, ” and “work according to surgery.” [Undesired relocation] consisted of “negative image about the OR, ” “unconvincing reason for relocation.” [Difficulty in adapting to invisible rules] included “unapproachable atmosphere, ” “poor identification, ” “flow of surgery that cannot be grasped, ” and “operations that cannot be done at their own pace.”</p><p>Comparing the results of this study with the previous studies, [difficulty in adapting to invisible rules] were mentioned as the characteristic features of the stressors of nurses who were relocated to the OR.</p>
