On this episode of Periop Talk, we talk with Doreen Wagner, PhD, RN, CNOR, about the importance of nursing research.

A Professor of Nursing at WellStar School of Nursing, Kennesaw (Ga.) State University, AORN member, and perioperative nurse, Wagner and her team conducted the first known study to explore the relationship between unplanned perioperative hypothermia, the most common perioperative complication, and the development of postoperative delirium in a large heterogeneous non-cardiac surgery population. 

Wagner talks with AORN about the importance of research in perioperative nursing, the different types of research, and gives tips on how to start your own research.
