Perioperative nurses
What? Nursing Knowledge: PONV
 Risk Factors
 Prevention
 Management

How? Assessment of nursing knowledge
before and after a class on PONV
What is the impact of an educational program on
perioperative RN’s knowledge of the identification
of risk factors, prevention, and management of
postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in adults
in an outpatient surgical setting?

2000: Jolley
◦ 60% correct

2009: Lewthwaite
◦ 61% correct

2012: Hambridge
◦ Literature review

Identified a gap in nursing knowledge

Inconsistent practice

Need for further education

Identified need for further research

RNs: very experienced

Questions about our practice:
◦ Is it evidence-based?
◦ Is it based on CURRENT guidelines?

Anesthesiologists: Proactive and thorough

Variable nursing practice

No use of risk assessment tool
2014 Guidelines for Management of PONV

Tested knowledge prior to class (Pre-test)
 Evaluated tool in collaboration with Department of
Anesthesia




30 minute class presented with slides and handouts
Tested knowledge immediately after class (Post-test)
6 nurses/60% of regular staff

Increase education efforts
Consider HealthStream/new hire
orientation course development
Refine education/test
Collaborate w/anesthesia: update postop
order set

Implement Risk Assessment Tool/Score

Develop article for publication
Future study:
◦ Further data collection
◦ Evaluate additional outcomes◦ LOS, Readmissions, and Patient
satisfaction

PONV remains the main concern of patients

Gaps in nurse’s knowledge around PONV exist



Nurses: responded favorably, improvement in test
scores
More education for nurses is needed
Ultimate goal of education is to improve outcomes
and experience for surgical patients
No one dies of nausea,
but it can seriously sap the will to live.
