Perioperative nurses are critical to the SSC\u2019s successful implementation, but their experiences and the obstacles they encounter are underexplored under specific organizational systems.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study assessed SSC compliance and completion and investigated perioperative nurses\u2019 perspectives and experiences using it in a Tunisian university hospital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A sequential mixed\u2010methods study was conducted over a 3\u2010month period. For the quantitative part, a retrospective review of 760 patient medical records was performed over a 19\u2010month period. Compliance and completion rates were analyzed and compared across all checklist phases and four surgical specialties. As for qualitative data, 13 semistructured interviews were conducted with perioperative nurses and then analyzed thematically to explore perceptions and experiences with the SSC. Participation was voluntary. Anonymity and confidentiality were ensured.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Quantitative findings revealed an SSC compliance proportion of 39.7%, which peaked at 60% during the implementation phase but declined to 29.4% during follow\u2010up. Compliance was significantly lower during night shifts and in emergency cases (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001). The \u201cSign\u2010Out\u201d section was the most frequently omitted. Qualitative analysis identified five key themes: initial skepticism shifting to acceptance, barriers including time pressure and lack of accountability, facilitators such as leadership engagement and nursing champions, perceived positive impacts on teamwork, and concerns about long\u2010term sustainability.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While the SSC is valued by nurses, its successful implementation and sustainability are critically dependent on the organizational culture within the operating room. Sustainable implementation requires formally integrating the SSC into hospital policy. This must be supported by strong leadership endorsement and strategic empowerment of nurse champions to overcome hierarchical barriers and foster a shared responsibility for patient safety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for Nursing Management<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Beyond
