Comprehensive training is crucial for nurses entering specialized operating room (OR) roles. This article outlines adult learning strategies to build effective perioperative nursing orientation programs, enhancing patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Perioperative Nursing
  • Adult Learning Theory

Background:

  • Perioperative nursing demands specialized skills due to the operating room (OR) environment.
  • New and experienced nurses require thorough training to ensure patient safety and quality care.
  • Existing orientation programs may need revision to meet current specialty standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present four key adult learning principles applicable to perioperative nursing.
  • To offer practical strategies for developing and organizing OR orientation programs.
  • To provide a framework for enhancing perioperative nurse training.

Main Methods:

  • Review of adult learning principles relevant to healthcare education.
  • Development of practical strategies tailored for the OR setting.

  • Framework construction for a structured perioperative nursing orientation program.

    • Main Results:

    • Identification of four core adult learning principles (e.g., relevance, experience, problem-centeredness, self-direction).
    • Detailed strategies for implementing these principles in OR nurse orientation.
    • A proposed framework for creating, organizing, or updating orientation programs.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective perioperative nursing orientation is vital for quality patient care.
    • Integrating adult learning principles enhances the effectiveness of nurse training.
    • The proposed framework supports the development of robust OR nursing programs, facilitating entry into the specialty.
