A review of the literature reveals that there are very few studies that have been carried out on surgical smoke, and there are no studies researched on the problems experienced by those working in operating rooms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>This descriptive study was conducted between April and June 2015.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study was carried out in the operating rooms of Training and Research Hospital with 81 nurses and doctors.
