SAFETY MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS OF NURSES' COMPLIANCE TO THE SURGICAL SAFETY CHECKLIST WITHIN THE OPERATING THEATRE
Main Article Content
Abstract
While the surgical team aims to prevent harm to patients, incidents
resulting in negative outcomes, including severe injury or even death, do still
occur. This study aims to investigate the correlation between nurses' attitudes
and their compliance to the surgical safety checklist within the operating
theatre. The research employs a correlational analytical design with a crosssectional approach, with a total sampling method applied. The population under
consideration comprises all nurses working in the surgical unit of Prof. Dr.
Soekandar Mojokerto Hospital. Data collection was conducted using
questionnaires, and analysis was performed through chi-square tests and the
contingency coefficient. The statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.003 for
attitude, thus supporting the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1). This
finding suggests a significant relationship between nurses' attitudes and their
compliance with the surgical safety checklist in the operating room, with a
correlation coefficient of 0.644. Consequently, nurses' attitudes have a notable
impact on their adherence to the surgical safety checklist, which is vital for
safeguarding both nurses and patients. Ensuring patient safety is of utmost
importance and should be prioritised by healthcare professionals in the delivery
of health services.
