Delirium in a surgical context from a nursing perspective: A hybrid concept analysis.

Background: The term delirium has been defined in medical diagnosis criteria as a multidimensional disorder, and the term acute confusion is included in nursing classifications. Delirium can be a serious complication assessed in a patient after a surgical procedure. Still, the patient's delirium frequently remains unrecognised.

The Criterion Validity, Reliability, and Feasibility of an Instrument for Assessing the Nursing Intensity in Perioperative Settings.

Patient classification systems generate information for staff allocation based on a patient's care needs. This study aims to test further the instrument for assessing nursing intensity (NI) in perioperative settings. Nine operating departments from five university hospitals were involved.

Testing an Instrument for Assessing Nursing Intensity in Perioperative Settings: Construct Validity.

Purpose: To test the construct validity of an instrument to assess nursing intensity in perioperative settings.

Methods: A survey based on 24 core elements of perioperative nursing was used. A total of 652 assessments were performed on 308 patients.

Validation of the core elements of perioperative nursing.

Aims And Objectives: To define the core elements of perioperative nursing.

Background: To measure the nursing care intensity in operating departments and day surgery units, a consensus on the content of perioperative nursing is required. The core elements of perioperative nursing were initially defined based on literature and the clinical expertise of the national workgroup.
