Qualitative data from the field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology.RESULTS:
The core category of experience with patient safety in the operating room was 'trying to maintain principles of patient safety during high-risk surgical procedures'. The participants used two interactional strategies 'attempt continuous improvement', 'immersion in operation with sharing issues of patient safety'.CONCLUSION:
The results indicate that the important factors for ensuring the safety of patients in the operating room are manpower, education, and a system for patient safety. Successful and safe surgery requires communication, teamwork and recognition of the importance of patient safety by the surgical team.
