I must begin by saying that I am not a theatre nurse. My professional background is very much in medical nursing and I did not begin to think about theatres until I became a nurse teacher. It was then I found myself helping to prepare nurses for their alloction to theatres and, later, listening to their accounts of their experiences. I have to say that theatres were not, and are still not, a highspot in pre-registration courses as far as the majority of students are concerned. As a tutor, particularly as I became more involved in the development of Project 2000, I began to ask myself why this was. What were the implications and did theatre experience really matter. During the last year I have been talking to theatre nurses in different hospitals about how they see their work and whether tutors should still be sending them students. These talks have been very informal but my objective was to tease out the nursing element of theatre work. I very much support the view that theatre nursing exists and that it can be made explicit. I must emphasise at this stage that this work is very much in its infancy and, as yet, lacks strong theoretical dimensions. Comments and contributions from readers will be very welcome.
首先我得说，我不是一名手术室护士。我的专业背景主要是医疗护理，直到成为一名护士教师后，我才开始考虑手术室护理。那时我发现自己在帮助护士们为被分配到手术室做准备，后来又听她们讲述自己的经历。我不得不说，就大多数学生而言，手术室护理过去不是，现在仍然不是预注册课程的重点内容。作为一名导师，尤其是当我越来越多地参与到“2000计划”的发展中时，我开始问自己为什么会这样。这有什么影响，手术室护理经历真的重要吗。在过去的一年里，我一直在与不同医院的手术室护士交谈，了解她们如何看待自己的工作，以及导师是否仍应给她们派送学生。这些交谈非常随意，但我的目的是梳理出手术室护理工作中的护理要素。我非常支持手术室护理存在且可以明确界定这一观点。在现阶段我必须强调，这项工作还处于起步阶段，目前还缺乏坚实的理论基础。非常欢迎读者发表评论和提供见解。
