ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate the effect of implementing a Patient safety checklist: nursing in anesthetic procedure on the perception of safety climate and team climate of nurses and anesthesiologists from an operating room.

Method:

Quasi-experimental study held in the operating room of a hospital in Brazil with a sample of nurses and anesthesiologists. The outcome was evaluated through the instruments “Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Operating Room Version” and “Team Climate Inventory”, applied before and after the implementation of a Patient safety checklist: nursing in anesthetic procedure by nurses. The mixed effects linear regression model was used to analyse the effect of the implementation.

Results:

Altogether, 19 (30.2%) nurses and 44 (69.8%) anesthesiologists participated in the study, implementing the Patient safety checklist: nursing in anesthetic procedure in 282 anesthesias. The Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Operating Room Version score changed from 62.5 to 69.2, with modification among anesthesiologists in the domain “Perception of management” (p = 0.02). Between both professionals, the Team Climate Inventory score increased after the intervention (p = 0.01).

Conclusion:

The implementation of the Patient safety checklist: nursing in anesthetic procedure changed the perception score of safety and teamwork climate, improving communication and collaborative work.
