Nurses' Perceptions of the Extent and Type of Missed Perioperative Nursing Care.

Missed nursing care is a concern on inpatient hospital units but has not been adequately explored in the perioperative setting. This cross-sectional study used results from a survey of 1,693 AORN members to investigate the amount and type of missed perioperative nursing care and evaluate associations between reported missed care and facility and nurse characteristics. The survey asked OR nurses how frequently specific care items were missed by themselves or others.
