    "abstract": "Introduction Nurse anesthetists (NAs) rely on various tools to perform their daily tasks effectively, with communication being one of the most essential during the perioperative phase.\u00a0The study aimed to explore NAs' experiences with the perioperative dialogue with patients and how this dialogue has evolved over the past 30 years. Materials and methods The study employed a qualitative design, with data gathered through three group interviews focusing on NAs' experiences. Interpretive content analysis, following the approach of Graneheim and Lundman, was used. Initially, 27 NAs were recruited, and 18 (three men and 15 women) participated in the interviews. Their ages ranged from 33 to 72 years, with work experience spanning 17 to 42 years. Results The text analysis identified three categories: advantages of perioperative dialogue, disadvantages of its absence, and suggestions for improvement. Key challenges included maintaining continuity of care, ensuring a high level of patient and NA safety, reducing care-related complications, minimising patient socialisation, providing incomplete care, and increasing stress for both NAs and patients. The NAs also offered several suggestions for improvement. Conclusion Perioperative meetings should be better structured to improve communication and assess outcomes. Enhancing patient involvement, developing NAs' skills, and providing clearer information in multiple languages could improve satisfaction and safety. Further research is needed to establish the dialogue's role as a guiding principle for staff and patients.",
