Perioperative nursing process-oriented bundled interventions and digital monitoring for the prevention of surgical site infections

To summarize current evidence on perioperative surgical site infection (SSI) prevention from a nursing perspective.

SSI is a common healthcare-associated infection with significant impacts on hospitalization and healthcare costs.
Nursing plays a critical role in all phases of perioperative care, emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts.
Bundled interventions are more effective than isolated measures, as supported by current evidence.
Digital tools can enhance nursing surveillance and SSI prevention, contingent on effective integration into existing workflows.

The review is narrative and does not provide quantitative analysis.
The effectiveness of digital tools in improving outcomes is contingent on their integration into nursing workflows.
