Consent is a concept inherent in any nurse-patient relationship and provides nursing with both theoretical and practical challenges. Within the perioperative area written informed consent is obtained for surgical and anaesthetic interventions. Consent is not formally negotiated for the multitude of interventions undertaken to facilitate the most straightforward of surgical procedures. An explorative, qualitative research project was undertaken to explore the processes used by perioperative nurses for negotiating such consent. Data was collected from perioperative nurses working in an acute teaching hospital using 'consent episodes' as units of data focusing on daily tasks of perioperative patient care. Findings indicate there is a dominant discourse of implied consent in which perioperative nursing practice is located. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
