The role of the OR nurse.

Abstract

1. Cyprus health policies and strategies emphasize the value of the individual in a caring family and community framework, with the implication that health is the responsibility of the whole country and its citizens. 2. Operating room nursing has undergone many changes in the past few years, such as the introduction of the nursing process together with the team concept. 3. Many aspects of nursing care in operating theaters have improved greatly, but we face the future with aspirations for additional improvement.
