American nurses developed the profession of the perioperative RN. Lasting personnel shortages led to the creation of the position of surgical technologist, however, and the necessity of having an RN in the OR has been under scrutiny in the United States and United Kingdom. The Netherlands had a different historical development of perioperative professions, resulting in ORs largely staffed by technicians. The differences in staffing practices have consequences not only for functionality but also for perioperative staff members job satisfaction. An examination of the historical differences in staffing may support the hypothesis that both disciplines may be needed for the OR to function most effectively.
美国护士发展了围手术期注册护士这一职业。然而，长期的人员短缺导致了外科技术员这一职位的设立，并且在美国和英国，手术室配备注册护士的必要性一直受到审视。荷兰围手术期职业的历史发展有所不同，其手术室的工作人员主要是技术员。人员配备方式的差异不仅会影响手术室的功能，还会影响围手术期工作人员的工作满意度。对人员配备历史差异的研究可能支持这样一种假设，即手术室要最有效地运作，这两个专业人员可能都是需要的。
