Methods: Data were obtained by searching the SCOPUS database.

Comparison of the predictive validity of the Braden, Munro and 3S scales in surgical patients.

Aim Of The Study: This research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study aimed at examining the use of three different scales to assess the risk of pressure injury (PI) in surgical patients.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted between February 1 and July 1, 2022. The study included patients who had planned surgery in general surgery clinic.

Nursing Students' Operating Room Experiences: A Qualitative Metasynthesis.

Purpose: This study was conducted to analyze the findings of qualitative studies about nursing students' experiences with operating room (OR) practices. There is a need to conduct metasynthesis studies to highlight the overarching dimensions of nursing students' experiences in the OR learning environment, identify and summarize key elements, draw attention to the professional implications of the experience, and then help define the future research agenda. This original study is the first metasynthesis of qualitative studies focusing on nursing students' OR practice experiences.

The Distraction Perceptions of Health Care Professionals in the Operating Room: The Disruptions in Surgery Index (DiSI).

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Disruptions in Surgery Index (DiSI) in operating room health care professionals and to determine the frequency of distractions DESIGN: Methodological study.

Methods: The sample consisted of 152 health care professionals. Data were collected online using the DiSI scale.

Effects of three endotracheal tube cuff pressure control measures on microaspiration of gastric content: Study protocol for randomised controlled trial.

Aim: To analyse the effect of endotracheal tube cuff pressure control measures on the microaspiration of the stomach contents by measuring at the level of pepsin in deep tracheal aspiration.

Design: A single-blind, randomised controlled trial.

Methods: This trial protocol was reported using the SPIRIT checklist.

Comparison of interface pressures on three operating table support surfaces during surgery.

Aim Of The Study: To investigate the effect of support surface usage and positions on interface pressure during surgery.

Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled experimental study was conducted between October 2018 and June 2019. The study included patients who had planned surgery in supine and prone positions.

Comparison of Body Temperature, Normothermia, and Extubation Times of Patients Heated with Forced Air Warming Method Based on Whether Patients Underwent On-Pump or Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft.

Aim: This study aimed to compare the body temperature, normothermia, and extubation times of patients heated with forced air warming method based on whether they underwent on-pump or off-pump coronary artery bypass graft.

Method: This quasi-experimental study comprised 109 patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft operation in the cardiovascular surgery department of a university hospital and a private hospital in Afyonkarahisar. Patients were divided into the following two groups: group 1 comprised 65 patients who underwent on-pump coronary artery bypass graft and group 2 comprised 44 patients who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass graft.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate physicians' and nurses' knowledge and practices regarding forensic cases in the operating room.

Design: This is a descriptive study.

Methods: The sample consisted of 139 physicians and 59 nurses working in the operating rooms of a university hospital.

The process of nurse adaptation to robotic surgery: A qualitative study.

Background: This study aimed to reveal the experiences of nurses in robotic surgery and their adaptation to this method.

Methods: This research was planned within the framework of qualitative research methods. The study population consisted of robotic surgery nurses in Turkey.

Environment-Friendly Practices in Operating Rooms in Turkey.

Background: Environment-friendly practices refer to decreasing energy consumption, using resources carefully and sustainably, and reducing environmental pollution. An environment-friendly hospital is defined as a hospital where energy is saved, carbon emissions are decreased, and productivity and quality are increased. Operating rooms (ORs) account for most wastes generated daily by hospitals.

Effect of patient position on endotracheal cuff pressure in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients.

Background: Endotracheal tube cuff pressure must be maintained within 20-30mHO to prevent complications. There is limited literature reporting the impact of nursing care on endotracheal cuff pressure. However, few studies have reported the effect of nursing care on endotracheal cuff pressure.

The examination of problems experienced by nurses and doctors associated with exposure to surgical smoke and the necessary precautions.

Aims And Objectives: This study aims to investigate the problems experienced by nurses and doctors as a result of exposure to surgical smoke and the precautions that need to be taken.

Background: Electrosurgery is carried out in almost all operating rooms, and all of those who work in these rooms are exposed to surgical smoke, especially doctors and nurses. A review of the literature reveals that there are very few studies that have been carried out on surgical smoke, and there are no studies researched on the problems experienced by those working in operating rooms.

The Operating Room Experiences of Nursing Students: A Focus Group Study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate operating room (OR) experiences of student nurses.

Design: The focus group interview from qualitative research methods was used.

Methods: This study was carried out between February and March 2011 in an OR practice at a university school of nursing.

Nurses' attitudes towards pressure ulcer prevention in Turkey.

Background: Pressure ulcers remain a major problem in healthcare system. Pressure ulcer incidence is widely accepted as an indicator for the quality of care. Positive attitudes towards pressure ulcer prevention have positive impacts on preventive care.
