SSIs continue to pose a great strain on healthcare systems worldwide, with high morbidity and mortality and considerable additional healthcare costs. The perioperative nursing staff helps prevent SSI and achieve the desired outcomes of the surgical process through sustained adherence to aseptic measures and the application of evidence-based interventions throughout the patient’s surgical journey.
The aim of this literature review was to evaluate different perioperative approaches for preventing surgical site infections and their impact on improved patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. The purpose of the literature review is to classify how to improve perioperative knowledge on reducing the risks of surgical site infections among nurses working in the operation theatre.
A thorough literature review was carried out to identify and appraise current evidence of perioperative nursing interventions for preventing SSI. The relevant studies were identified through a search of data-bases from both CINAHL and PubMed. The articles were analyzed utilizing the conventional content analysis method. The data was extracted and then methodically arranged to determine and distinguish themes and sub-themes.
The literature review established that preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative and entire perioperative nursing interventions should be implemented to minimize the occurrence of SSI. This research high-lighted the importance of perioperative nursing strategies to prevent surgical site infections by incorporating evidence-based practices such as preoperative hygiene, appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis, aseptic techniques, maintaining normothermia, and proper postoperative wound care.
Surgical site infections remain the most common perioperative complications and that it is important to ensure patient safety during the surgical procedure to improve postoperative surgical outcomes. It is crucial for perioperative nurses to minimize the risks of getting SSI through various evidence-based guide-lines. The research results show that healthcare institutions should develop and implement standardized, evidence-based protocols and keep them up to date. Perioperative nurses should be educated and continuously trained and work in a multidisciplinary approach.
