چکیده
74 Nigerian Journal of Surgery ¦ Volume 23 ¦ Issue 1 ¦ January-June 2017 Questionnaires were distributed to three groups of theater users – surgeons, anesthetists, and perioperative nurses. The responses were collated by the lead researcher, entered into Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, exported and analyzed with SPSS (IBM,Chicago). Results: Eighty‐five questionnaires were distributed, seventy responses were gotten, and four were discarded due to poor filling. The studied 66 comprised 40 surgeons, 12 anesthetists, and 14 perioperative nurses. Fifty‐five (83.3%) of the responders indicated awareness of the checklist, but only 12 (21.8%) correctly stated that the main objective is for patients’ safety and safe surgery. Major barriers to its use include lack of training 58.2%, lack of assertiveness of staff 58.2%, and that its delays operation list 47.2%. Conclusion: The study demonstrated high level of awareness of surgical checklist in our hospital; however, this awareness is superficial as it is not reflected in the true aim of the checklist. Majority of the responders would want to be trained on checklist despite the highlighted barriers.
