The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Surgical Care
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Surgical positioning is critical for patient safety.
  • Understanding nurses' perspectives on positioning risks is essential for improving care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore nurses' conceptions of patient safety during surgical positioning.
  • To identify perceived risks and preventive strategies from the nursing viewpoint.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative descriptive exploratory study.
  • Focus group technique with seven nurses in a private hospital.
  • Content analysis using Bardin's methodology.

Main Results:

  • Six categories emerged: patient safety, surgical patient risks, nurses' role, training, interprofessional involvement, and risk assessment.
  • Injuries from positioning were identified as the greatest risk.
  • Nurses' presence is essential for risk prevention via assessment and training.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses perceive significant risks to patient safety related to surgical positioning.
  • Nurses consider their presence in the operating room indispensable for mitigating these risks.
