Abstract :Introduction and Objective: The Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses recommended cooperation between team members, an error reporting system, and simplification and standardization of the work process, to achieve patient safety culture. This study aims to determine the patient safety culture among staff in an operating room and to examine use of the surgical safety checklist SSC . Methods: The descriptive and cross-sectional study data were collected with the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture and Surgical Safety Checklist Questionnaire in the operating room of a university hospital between March 2014-Jaunary 2015. The study sample included 96 doctors, nurses and anesthesia technicians. Results: Of participants, 36.5% were nurses, 31.3% were physicians, 32.3% were anesthesia technicians, 41.7% had ≤5-years experience in the operating room, 81.3% knew about SSC and 76% wanted to use it, 71.9% never reported an event, but 22.9% reported 1-2 events, 59.4% considered patient safety in the operating room acceptable. When the working years in the operating room of the employees were assessed according to the scale and subscale, there was a significant difference between “Teamwork within units”, “Feedback and communication about error”, “No-punitive response to error”,” and Hospital management support for patient safety” p = 0.017, p = 0.006, p = 0.031, p = 0.015 . Conclusion: The study results can help nurses in the operating room to learn about and use SSC, which may promote their reporting events threatening safety. The results will help with designing education programs about patient safety and improvement of patient safety culture.
