The remaining three articles were published in 1999 (Lawson et al., 1999), 1996 (Sturgess et al., 1996) and 1987 (White et al., 1987). Seventeen of the 25 studies were conducted in an outpatient clinic setting (Bodle et al., 2008; Bolme et al., 2020; Chan et al., 2020; Collins, 2010; Gallagher, 2017; Godsell, 2005; James and McPhail, 2008; Jejeebhoy et al., 2011; Kelly et al., 2008; Laker-Oketta et al., 2015; Lawson et al., 1999; Malata, 2018; Martin, 2002; Newey et al., 2006; Palmquist, 2010; Sapre et al., 2012; Williams et al., 2020), five in an operating room or operating theatre (Chu et al., 2011; Giramonti and Kogan, 2018; Hickey and Cooper, 2009; Michelotti et al., 2014; White et al., 1987), and three in an endoscopy unit (Duncan et al., 2017; Hui et al., 2015; Sturgess et al., 1996).
Current methods of nurse-surgeon training and education: Systematic review
2021, International Journal of Nursing Studies AdvancesCitation Excerpt :Nurse-performed surgery is not a novel concept as it predates the Task Shifting strategy of the World Health Organisation (2008) by at least 60 years (White et al., 1987). In the 1950s, the first documented nurse-surgeon was trained by an American missionary surgeon to perform obstetric surgeries in sub-Saharan Africa (White et al., 1987). The decision to train this nurse-surgeon emerged from the same problem still experienced today, the need to redesign surgical capacity to meet surgical demands with limited physicians (Bath et al., 2019; World Health Organisation, 2014).
