Abstract

The pursuit of greater efficiency in modern day surgery has led to the adoption and development of many new and ‘extended’ nursing roles. Such roles often focus on physiological measurement to ensure patient safety before (and during) surgery. However, studies suggest patients require considerable care in relation to the social and psychological impact of hospital admission, general anaesthesia, surgery and discharge in such a brief period. This article discusses the impact of modern day surgery on nurses’ work and concludes by outlining the psychological care required by patients undergoing modern, elective day and short stay surgery.
