Surgical hand rubbing with alcohol-based disinfection solution is more preferred than traditional scrubbing. Regard of SSI prevention, double set of sterile gloves is recommended in clinical practice to decrease the possibility of inner gloving perforation and bacterial transmission inside out. Inductive content analysis was conducted to analyse collected data and generate appropriate categories relevant to research questions. The year publication was from 2010 to 2020 in order to meet the requirement of timely and update knowledge provision. The data search and collection processes are mainly from electronic databases as EBSCO, SAGE, and PubMed in association with the consideration of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Particularly, the study is beneficial for senior nursing students and graduated nurses as a holistic picture of aseptic technique for further specific research related to this topic.Ī combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was executed in this literature review. The purpose of this thesis is to promote understanding and awareness of aseptic technique in operation room, which contributes to SSI prevention. The thesis aims to explore which elements are related to the perioperative nurses’ practices in aseptic technique in operation room, regarding the prevention of SSIs and how these practices affect to the outcomes of SSIs. Aseptic technique practices involve the performance of hand hygiene, donning gloves, applying surgical attire, preoperative aseptic skin preparation, aseptic instrument preparation, and aseptic environment maintenance. ![]() Perioperative nurses must be well-educated and well-trained to perform aseptic technique for preventing SSIs as well as facilitating safe surgical procedures for patients.
