Guri Rasmussen

Guri Rasmussen serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Health and Nursing at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway, with office location at Øya helsehus. Her academic role centers on advancing surgical nursing practices and patient safety through rigorous research and clinical application.

Her research program demonstrates deep expertise in surgical nursing environments, focusing on non-technical skills development, operating room safety protocols, and innovative training methodologies. Key investigations include organizational analysis of surgical instrument tables, crisis management during unexpected operating room events, and reflective learning techniques in mental health nursing education. Recent work emphasizes technology integration through virtual reality simulations for surgical team training.

Publication analysis from 2012-2021 reveals consistent thematic progression toward optimizing surgical safety systems. Early work established foundations in non-technical skills assessment, while recent scoping reviews and VR implementations demonstrate methodological evolution toward systems-based solutions. This trajectory highlights her commitment to translating research into practical safety improvements for surgical teams.
