Guided by the Compass: Cultivating Surgical Conscience in Perioperative Practice

By Dr. Danielle Quintana

Guided by the Compass: Cultivating Surgical Conscience in Perioperative Practice is an inspiring and evidence-based exploration of the moral, behavioral, and human dimensions of perioperative practice. Grounded in the author's research on the Barriers to Surgical Conscience Action (BSCA) framework, this book invites nurses, educators, and leaders to reconnect with the ethical foundation of their work-their surgical conscience which is the inner compass that guides integrity, advocacy, and patient safety.

Through vivid narratives, reflective journaling prompts, and case-based scenarios, readers embark on a guided journey to rediscover surgical conscience as both a moral compass and leadership tool. Each chapter blends philosophy, psychology, and perioperative practice, offering tools to teach, model, and sustain ethical action in complex surgical environments.
