Occupational safety challenges for operating room nurses: contributing factors, health impacts, and coping measures
Viktorija Piščalkienė, Erika Juškauskienė
The Monograph is intended to identify occupational risk factors affecting operating room nurses, assess their impact on health complaints, and systematically search for measures to mitigate occupational risk factors affecting operating room nurses. The scientific study is characterised by various research methods, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. In this way, the Monograph is multidisciplinary, as it integrates the fields of nursing, public health, education, management, and psychology. The Monograph on these issues is the first in Lithuania, as there has not yet been an open discussion of the challenges nurses face in their professional lives. Although the study involved the participation of Lithuanian operating room nurses, the research also discusses the experiences of other countries around the world related to the professional activities of operating room nurses and the risk factors, as well as their impact on health and the mitigation of occupational risk factors.
