This book, entitled: Nursing Care for the Person and Family in the Perioperative Period - Intervention Projects to Improve Quality, brings together the results of 10 intervention projects to improve nursing care in the perioperative context, from projects developed by nurses within the scope of the Masters in Medical-Surgical Nursing at the Lisbon School of Nursing. This collection addresses a subject as important as perioperative nursing care, which requires a standard of excellence in care centered on the person, family and significant person, to ensure their safety by promoting Self-Care.

The authors of this book wanted to be associated with the European Day of the Perioperative Nurse, which was celebrated on February 15, 2024. This year with the EORNA slogan "Proud Or nurses: Our future".

The aim of this initiative is to disseminate the evidence already produced, as well as to look at the necessary paths to be taken in training and research in the permanent development of the specificity of Perioperative Nursing competencies, with a view to safety, quality of care and the health of citizens. .
