Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Perioperative Care
  • Professional Certification

Background:

  • The Certified Perioperative Nurse (CNOR) credential represents a voluntary commitment by nurses.
  • Perioperative nurses are crucial for quality patient care, irrespective of certification status.
  • The value of CNOR certification in validating nurses for patient care delivery is questioned.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the motivations behind pursuing CNOR certification.
  • To investigate the relationship between CNOR certification and quality perioperative patient care.
  • To assess the assumptions regarding the application of knowledge post-certification.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was utilized to gather data from perioperative nurses.
  • The study explored perceptions of CNOR certification and its impact.

  • The feasibility of future, larger-scale studies was assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • CNOR certification is primarily sought to achieve personal and professional goals.
    • Several nursing traits, not solely CNOR certification, contribute to quality perioperative care.
    • The study validates the process for future research into CNOR certification.

    Conclusions:

    • Claims about CNOR outcomes require documented evidence, not assumptions.
    • Further large-scale research is needed to inform potential changes to the certification process.
    • CNOR certification remains a significant topic in perioperative nursing.
