Nursing Care for Children´s Patients with Injuries with Stress on Perioperative Nurse
TRINKBAUEROVÁ, Eva
"Injury is defined as any unintentional or intentional damage to the body, which resulted from acute exposure to thermal, mechanical, electrical or chemical energy and the subsequent lack of necessary vital energy elements or variables, such as oxygen or heat" In everyday life we often encounter with slight injuries, but few of us are aware that accidents are not just fractures or bruises. The fact is, however, that accidents are annually responsible for three hundred of children's lives and are traditionally the most common cause of child deaths. One of the key persons involved in the rescue of handicapped children is a perioperative nurse. She fulfills the role of a provider of nursing care and the role of an educator, who has a crucial function in the child injury prevention programs, which can significantly influence the rate of child injuries in future. Field surveys were carried out with an objective to map current state of a perioperative nurse role and injured children treated in the operating room. This research results should lead to the minimization of discomfort and reduced perception of negative feelings experienced by children in the operating room plus to the introduction of this nursing process in the operating rooms, where this practice is not currently used.
