RESUMO
Perioperative nursing is changing in response to the increasing complexity of patient care during diverse, specialized surgical procedures. As a result, designated specialty surgical teams have developed to fulfill needs of patients, nurses and surgeons. This exploratory, descriptive study examined reasons for implementing specialty surgical teams, the frequency and RN composition of such teams and their benefits. Data concerning the prevalence and specific use of specialty surgical teams are necessary to validate and redefine the nature and role of specialized perioperative nurses. Results of the U. S. study generally paralleled the Missouri study although findings were not as pronounced. Clearly though, in both studies, specialty surgical teams are perceived very positively by study respondents.

Despite the very specific name of this game, the format of "Pancreaticmania" can be readily and inexpensively adapted to accommodate other content areas at various curricular levels. For example, by changing the name, this gaming format could be adapted to teach other medical-surgical content as well as concepts in such specialty areas as psychiatry nursing, maternal-child, or pediatrics. Question categories could be developed based on content and course objectives. Length of play could be adapted to meet specific needs or time constraints. With minor changes in terminology and focus, this game was used as a teaching tool in a diabetic support group. Students, as well as other adult learners, enjoy and gain from the variety that gaming provides. Since the game requires only the use of a die, diabetic candy, and 3 x 5 index cards, the game can easily be used in the classroom or transported to the clinical setting. Any number of students can play the game. However, if a team is too large, the quality of intragroup interaction may diminish. Motivation and enjoyment by the learner should be considered when selecting instructional strategies for teaching nursing. Gaming is an instructional strategy that requires active participation by the learner. Once actively involved in the experience, the student is receptive to learning. Gaming can be used as a tool to link theory to real-life situations through the application of principles and concepts.
