This study aims to identify key research priorities in perioperative nursing across the lifespan. Methods: A two-round e-Delphi study was conducted across three Portuguese hospitals, involving expert perioperative nurses (87 in the first round and 69 in the second). Participants rated the importance of various research topics on a 5-point Likert scale about six dimensions: (1) professional development and non-technical skills, (2) person-centered care, (3) organizational aspects and work environment, (4) patient and team safety, (5) digital innovation, and (6) patient outcomes and quality of care. Data were analyzed using mean scores, Content Validity Ratio (CVR) for initial validation, and the Coefficient of Variation (CV) to determine the level of consensus. The reporting of this study followed the DELPHISTAR (Guideline for Reporting Delphi Studies) recommendations. Results: A high degree of consensus was achieved (all CV < 0.20). The experts established a consensus on 48 components. The highest-rated priority was nurse burnout and professional satisfaction (Mean = 4.74). This was closely followed by patient safety (Mean = 4.68), team safety (Mean = 4.65), disaster response (Mean = 4.62), and emergency management (Mean = 4.58). Acute pain control and interdisciplinary communication also emerged as critical areas. Topics such as digital innovation and artificial intelligence, while valued, received lower priority scores. Conclusions: The identified priorities should direct funding toward research, education, quality improvement, and health policies. Future studies should focus on developing interventions to promote a favorable perioperative environment and optimize clinical responses to individuals' conditions, catastrophes, and life-threatening situations across the lifespan. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: equations & formulas research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
