    Abstract

    Achieving the goal of "best practice" in the perioperative field requires continuous education and reflection. Applying transformational learning principles can improve perioperative nursing practice by allowing staff members to reflect on their current practices, discover faulty assumptions, and revise them. Using a proactive approach, leaders can apply transformational learning principles on a case-by-case basis to build professional teams that are effective and efficient. Leaders who use transformational principles and act as role models can influence other staff members to be accountable for their own practice and self-development. If leaders are effective and inspirational, individual practice and even departmental or institutional cultures can be changed.
