We aimed to identify the core competencies required for Italian SNs and to define indicative timeframes for their achievement in clinical practice. We conducted a multiphase eDelphi study from April to September 2023 with 35 expert perioperative nurses. Using the European Operating Room Nurses Association Core Curriculum as the starting framework, panelists reviewed 113 competencies and proposed two additional items relevant to Italian OR nursing practice. Overall, 79 competencies were retained. Consensus on timeframes for competency achievement was reached through two rounds of surveys and a final expert discussion. Internal reliability was high, with Cronbach alphas of 0.979 (round 2) and 0.956 (round 3). The resulting framework may support competency-based education, role transition, and greater consistency in SN training across Italian health care institutions.</p>","PeriodicalId":54317,"journal":{"name":"Aorn Journal","volume":"124 2","pages":"98-107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13408910/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148609901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These issues strain SPD workflows and increase the risk of errors in instrument assembly and sterilization.

Eighty-two adults undergoing laparoscopic lower gastrointestinal surgery were randomly assigned to a prewarming group (n = 41) or control group (n = 41). The intervention combined standard whole-body prewarming with targeted warming of both forearms and lower legs for five minutes before anesthesia induction.

In this study, a descriptive cross-sectional design was used to examine the relationships between hand-off self-efficacy, satisfaction, and communication competence among OR nurses. Eighty nurses at a South Korean tertiary hospital completed a validated questionnaire for self-efficacy, sending and receiving hand-off satisfaction, and 10 subdomains of communication competence. Canonical correlation analysis identified two significant variates. Higher self-efficacy and both sending and receiving satisfaction were strongly associated with interaction management, social appropriateness, efficiency, and expressiveness. Receiving hand-off satisfaction was also linked to immediacy. These findings indicate that specific communication skills are key to building confidence and satisfaction with intraoperative hand offs.

The revised program incorporated defined pathways, hands-on skills training, enhanced preceptor support, structured communication, and intentional socialization. Program effectiveness was evaluated using quantitative measures, including orientation length and retention, and qualitative feedback from orientees and preceptors collected through surveys and routine check-ins, including monthly \"Preceptor Bubble\" meetings.
