The operating room group philosophy
The the part time and full time bachelor program of the operating room technology is designed according to the philosophy that the patient as a human being is able to independently choose his desired treatment, therefore, graduates will be able to emphasize on social justice and equality of human beings and according to the values of the Islamic society, ethics, and beliefs, to respect the patient as a special person with his or her specific physical, psychological and emotional characteristics. They screen the entire surgery from the beginning of the admission to the discharge from the operating room and by attracting the patient's trust, provide appropriate human contact with the patient; because reducing the level of patient's anxiety before surgery and meeting its comprehensive needs , is a key to preventing many complications from anesthesia and postoperative problems. From other values, we can mention the optimal attempt in using and maintaining the equipment used, observing professional ethics and strictly avoiding discrimination in providing services to various classes. The Operating Room group of Shahrekord Nursing and Midwifery Faculty is also taking steps in this direction.
