Awareness and Knowledge of the Surgical Safety Checklist Among Operational Staff in University Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal: A Cross-sectional Questionnaire

October 11, 2019 updated by: Yurie Kobashi, Fukushima Medical University

The introduction of the World Health Organization Surgical Safety Checklist (WHO SSC) is a priority to promote surgical safety. However, little is known regarding awareness and knowledge of the WHO SSC in developing countries. This study aimed to obtain region-specific information for the introduction of the checklist in a core medical institution in Nepal.

The present research was a cross-sectional study using data from a survey conducted at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) in Kathmandu, Nepal. A questionnaire was distributed to 150 healthcare professionals working in the operating theatre. Responses to the questionnaire were analysed descriptively and regression analyses identified factors associated with awareness of the checklist.
