Abstract
The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) values learning from nursing history to provide a contextual perspective in understanding how past events have shaped current nursing practice. Until the publication of operating room nursing journals, Canada's national nursing journal, The Canadian Nurse, served as an educational and professional resource for those nurses working in the operating room and for nurses whose work was related to, or connected with, the operating room. A historical review of early issues of The Canadian Nurse (first published in 1905) reveals a substantial amount of content related to operating room nursing in the twenty year period, beginning in the 1940s, that predated the existence of OR specialty journals. The content was, for the time, both detailed and informative. It was through this journal that operating room nurses, indeed all Canadian nurses, learned about new advances, employment opportunities, educational programs, professional associations, and the achievements of those in the profession. Operating Room Nursing, as an isolated and quickly emerging specialty, was introduced to other nurses via items in The Canadian Nurse journal.
加拿大护士协会(CNA)重视从护理史中学习,为理解过去的事件如何影响当前的护理实践提供背景视角。在手术室护理期刊出版之前,加拿大的国家护理期刊《加拿大护士》(the Canadian Nurse)一直是在手术室工作的护士以及与手术室相关或有联系的护士的教育和专业资源。对《加拿大护士》早期期刊(1905年首次出版)的历史回顾揭示了从20世纪40年代开始的20年间与手术室护理相关的大量内容,这些内容早于手术室专业期刊的存在。在当时,这本书的内容既详尽又翔实。正是通过这本杂志,手术室护士,实际上是所有的加拿大护士,了解了新的进展,就业机会,教育计划,专业协会,以及那些在这个行业取得的成就。手术室护理,作为一个孤立的和迅速崛起的专业,被介绍给其他护士通过项目加拿大护士杂志。
