Knowing how, arguing why: nurse anaesthetists' experiences of nursing when caring for the surgical patient.

Background: Patients undergoing surgery and anaesthesia are in a vulnerable situation, requiring advanced treatment and care. Nurse anaesthetists are specially trained to meet their needs when administering and monitoring anaesthesia, ensuring patient safety and comfort throughout the entire perioperative care. However, there is a growing concern that efficiency requirements might take precedence over humanistic care when having to prioritize.

How nursing care is expressed among nurse anaesthetists in the perioperative context: A meta-ethnographic synthesis.

Aim: To develop a conceptual framework describing nursing care from the anaesthesia nurse's perspective in the perioperative context.

Background: Surgical patients find themselves in a vulnerable situation in need of advanced treatment and care. Nurse anaesthetists have a central role in reducing harm and enhance patient safety, in which person-centred care has been identified as a key component.
