“…Inpatient surgical treatments in Egypt have been established to have a complication rate of 3-22 percent and a fatality rate of 0.4-0.8 percent, according to a study (10) . The purpose of this study was to determine how well emergency operating room nurses are doing when it comes to ensuring patient safety.…”

Background: By implementing patient safety programmes, nurses play a critical role in improving healthcare. A patient safety culture assessment will help improve nurses' performance by identifying the nurses' impressions of the culture and examining their training and expertise about patient safety. Aim of the study: Evaluate Nurses' Performance Regarding Patient Safety in Emergency Operating Rooms. Subjects and Methods: Research design: A descriptive approach has been used. Setting: The research was carried out at the emergency operating rooms of the Zagazig University Hospitals. Subjects: A convenience sample which composed of 70 nurses. Tools of data collection: The data for this study was gathered using three different instruments: Tool I: The study nurses' personal qualities and knowledge were assessed using an interview questionnaire. Tool II: Observational checklist to determine the degree of patient safety measures in emergency operating rooms and Tool III: An instrument for gauging nurses' attitudes toward patient safety, a large percentage (52.9%) of nurses surveyed had inadequate comprehensive knowledge. More than a third (38.5 %) of the nurses surveyed practiced unsafely in emergency operating rooms when it came to patient safety. More than seventy percent of the nurses evaluated had a poor outlook on patient safety in emergency operating rooms. Conclusion:There was a lack of understanding, practice, and attitude towards patient safety in emergency operating rooms among the majority of nurses evaluated. All of the variables related to patient safety in emergency operating rooms were shown to have a statistically significant relationship. Recommendation: Continuous educational poster and training program should be designed particularly to the younger nurses with short duration of experience in emergency operating room.

“…One possible explanation of these items of missed perioperative nursing care is the negative attitudes of staff toward using safe surgical checklist which is considered a metaphor for steps for safer surgery. This negative attitude was highlighted in studies conducted in the study settings [ 49 – 51 ]. Poor prevailing patient safety culture is a another concern explaining missed perioperative nursing care since previous works in the study settings found poor perception of healthcare providers for patient safety culture [ 52 – 54 ].…”

Background Perioperative missed nursing care is a serious issue that can compromise patient safety and quality of care. However, little is known about the factors that influence perioperative missed nursing care. Aim This study aimed to examine the effects of job embeddedness and polychronicity on perioperative missed nursing care as well as to test the mediating role of polychronicity on the relationship between job embeddeness and perioperative missed nursing care. Method This was a cross-sectional correlational study that used a convenience sample of 210 operating room nurses from nine hospitals in Egypt. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires that measured job embeddedness, polychronicity, and perioperative missed nursing care. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships among the variables. Results The findings demonstrated a significant negative and moderate association between missed perioperative care and both nurses’ job embeddedness and polychronicity. Moreover, there was a moderately positive and significant correlation between polychronicity and job embeddedness. Path analysis revealed a significant positive causal effect between job embeddedness and polychronicity. The results of mediation revealed that the indirect effect of job embeddedness on missed care through polychronicity was statistically significant; suggesting that polychronicity partially mediated this relationship. Conclusion This study sheds light on the intricate relationship between nurses’ job embeddedness, missed care, and polychronicity in the operating theater context. By enhancing job embeddedness and fostering polychronicity among nurses, healthcare organizations can reduce perioperative missed care and ultimately improve patient care outcomes in this critical healthcare setting.

“…Nurses working in the OR are highly trained professionals tasked with ensuring patient safety from the moment they are received from the ward. Therefore, adherence to OR protocols, including thorough patient checks, verification of patient identity, understanding of the surgical procedure, and pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative care, is essential (3). Central to these protocols is the concept of "TIME OUT," mandated by the Joint Commission International (JCI) as part of its certification requirements (4,5).…”

Surgical Time Out protocols are pivotal for ensuring patient safety in operating rooms (ORs), designed to prevent surgical errors such as wrong-patient surgery and retained surgical instruments. Despite established protocols, adherence varies, with potentially fatal outcomes. Aim: The study aims to assess the knowledge and implementation of Surgical Time Out protocols among surgical nurses at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Rawalpindi, determining the impact on patient safety and surgical outcomes. Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 150 OR nurses selected through convenience sampling. A validated questionnaire was employed to collect data on the nurses' knowledge and application of Time Out protocols. Results: Results showed that 68% of nurses had adequate knowledge regarding Time Out protocols, recognizing their essential role in patient safety. Nevertheless, 32% had insufficient knowledge, which could compromise surgical safety. Conclusion: The study concludes that while a majority of nurses understand the importance of Surgical Time Out protocols, there is a significant portion who require further training. It emphasizes the necessity of regular, structured training programs to enhance adherence to Time Out protocols, thereby improving patient safety and reducing preventable surgical complications.
