Theatre nurses currently face the greatest threat to their existence since the evolution of the theatre nursing role. Traditionally perceived as task-oriented and separatist, the nature of the current theatre nursing role has led to the operating department being devalued as a clinical placement for preregistration student nurses which has a consequent effect on recruitment and retention problems. This article examines what the nurse provides, or could provide, in the operating theatre. The themes are that theatre nurses must give due consideration to the short-term future of their clinical role in order to regain status in the hierarchy of mainstream nursing.
自手术室护理角色演变以来，手术室护士目前面临着其职业存在的最大威胁。传统上，手术室护理被视为以任务为导向且自成一体，当前手术室护理角色的性质导致手术科室作为预注册学生护士临床实习地点的价值被低估，这进而对招聘和留用问题产生影响。本文探讨了护士在手术室提供了什么，或者可以提供什么。主题是手术室护士必须适当考虑其临床角色的短期未来，以便在主流护理层级中重新获得地位。
