Perioperative nursing--the Jamaican perspective
1Department of Advanced Nursing, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica.
Abstract:
Under constraints of a restricted economy Jamaica strives to deliver health care at the standard of developed countries. Nurses in Jamaica assume various roles as they provide perioperative nursing care; they work as a team and act as patient advocates. Bonds of caring and love are often established between patients, families, and the nursing staff. The quality of nursing care often determines the client's perioperative outcome, and Jamaican nurses strive to meet the challenges inherent in achieving positive patient outcomes.
