title: Difficulties in intraoperative care.
abstract: Difficult situations which occur intraoperatively have a direct impact on nurses working within the area. A study was undertaken focusing nurses' confrontations with difficult situations where the narrations from twelve nurses were taped. A phenomenological method was used to analyse this information and revealed how difficult intraoperative situations arise and how the nurses found different ways of handling these situations.
