Background: The Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is a critical junction between the operating theatre and the wards. It is essential for the close monitoring of patients before they are discharged to their destination wards for recovery. Many clinical and non-clinical factors influence the flow of patient discharge from the PACU to the wards. This study explores PACU nurses’ perceptions of non-clinical factors causing discharge delays and how these impact the work of nurses. Method: In this study, a descriptive qualitative methodology was implemented. This methodology is widely used in nursing and health care research as it provides a descriptive analysis of a phenomenon with straightforward descriptions of experience and perceptions. Data were collected from ten PACU nurses via in-depth, semi-structured, recorded, individual interviews. Thematic analysis using the work of Braun and Clarke was applied to gain rich insight into PACU nurses’ views, values and experiences concerning discharge delay influenced by non-clinical factors. Findings: Four themes related to discharge delay were identified: ‘accepted as part of the day’, ‘wards are never ready’, ‘feeling frustrated, powerless and stressed’ and ‘empathy for patients’. The analysis of interview transcripts demonstrated that PACU nurses constantly experienced discharge delays because ward beds or ward nurses were not readily available for admitting post-operative patients from the PACU. The findings also revealed PACU nurses’ perceptions of non-clinical discharge delay and how this event may induce stress, frustration and feelings of hopelessness at work. Participants expressed that discharge delay caused them stress and negative emotions or ‘bad feelings’ and challenged their ability to show compassion for patients. Conclusion: PACU nurses perceive discharge delays due to non-clinical factors as compromising their work. Their perspective on discharge delay indicates the need to improve relevant non-clinical factors to minimise PACU nurses’ work stress and to help facilitate the discharge experience of patients and nurses.

Surgical plume poses a risk to perioperative nurses and the perioperative team as a whole, as well as the operative patient. Surgical plume contains various hazardous components which pose multiple health risks to the perioperative staff who are exposed to it. Further research is required in order to definitively understand the risks to perioperative staff from long-term exposure to surgical plume and to advance current policies and procedures. The current practice standard on surgical plume management from the Australian College of Perioperative Nurses (ACORN) sets out methods of reducing these risks. However, this standard's utility in practice and barriers to its implementation lead to ongoing unnecessary plume exposure. Through adhering to current practice standards and educating perioperative nurses, the risks posed by surgical plume can be mitigated. Thorough education on this topic will empower nurses to advocate for their safety and the safety of their patients, leading to the reduction of surgical plume exposure.

paper Abstract The disparity in health outcomes between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians continues to increase. Barriers to accessing health care, particularly surgical treatment, contribute to health inequalities among Indigenous Australians. Despite a positive correlation between improved patient experiences and health outcomes, there is little research available on nursing interventions to improve Indigenous patients’ perioperative health care treatment. This discussion paper investigates culturally appropriate and evidence-based nursing interventions that can be applied in the perioperative setting to improve the surgical experience of Indigenous patients. It was shown that establishing trust among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients through anaesthetic nurse practices and advocating for family involvement is critical in providing culturally safe care and enhancing patient experiences. Indigenous health liaison officers were also identified as a valuable resource in bridging cultural and communication gaps between health care providers and Indigenous patients. These findings demonstrate that using tailored nursing strategies while providing perioperative care to Indigenous Australians can enhance their perioperative health care experience and contribute to improving health outcomes of Indigenous Australians. It is therefore recommended that perioperative nurses adopt these strategies; however, further research is needed to investigate implementation of an enhanced role for anaesthetic nurses, advocating for family involvement and referral to Indigenous health liaison officers. Such research should evaluate the impact of these new holistic and patient-centred approaches on the health outcomes and experiencecs of Indigenous patients.
