Several patient safety measures have been adopted universally in the operating room (OR) before, during, and following surgical procedures. Despite this, errors or near misses still occur. Nurses in the OR have a pivotal role in the identification of factors that may impact patient safety and quality of care. Therefore, exploring the OR nurses\u2019 understanding of their roles and responsibilities for patient care and safety in the intraoperative practice, which could lead to optimal patient safety, is essential.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study explored the understanding of OR nurses regarding their roles and responsibilities for patient care and safety measures in the intraoperative practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was conducted in one of the tertiary care hospitals in the United Arab Emirates. Qualitative, descriptive, exploratory research design was utilized. The data were collected using semi-structured face to face interviews. Purposive sampling included eight nurses. Data analysis was performed following Colaizzi's seven-step strategy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seven emerging themes were identified. The main themes are: patient safety, preoperative preparation, standardization of practice, time management, staffing appropriateness, staff education and communication, and support to the patient in the OR.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>OR nurse leaders may take into consideration the current findings as a reference for quality improvement projects in the hospital, considering the specific characteristics of each local setting. Although the participants consider that the environment is safe and the quality of care is high in the study setting, there is still room for improvement on workflows and processes. OR workflow should be improved especially by addressing the potential patient safety issues.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23779608231186247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]],"date-time":"2023-07-14T02:50:36Z","timestamp":1689303036000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Operating Room Nurses\u2019 Understanding of Their Roles and Responsibilities for Patient Care and Safety Measures in Intraoperative Practice"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Bisma","family":"Chellam Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Staff Nurse, Head and Neck Operation Theater, Manchester Royal Infirmary Hospital, Manchester, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2788-2755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Judie","family":"Arulappan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child health, College of Nursing, Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-23779608231186247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aorn.2013.10.021"},{"key":"bibr2-23779608231186247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e3181f69b22"},{"key":"bibr3-23779608231186247","volume-title":"Patient safety: Achieving a new standard for care","author":"Aspden P.","year":"2004"},{"key":"bibr4-23779608231186247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0001-2092(06)60012-4"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr5-23779608231186247","first-page":"1059","volume":"81","author":"Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses","journal-title":"AORN Journal"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr6-23779608231186247","first-page":"1054","volume":"81","author":"Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses","journal-title":"AORN Journal"},{"key":"bibr7-23779608231186247","volume-title":"The practice of social research: South African edition","author":"Babbie E.","year":"2001"},{"key":"bibr8-23779608231186247","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.aorn.2014.08.008"},{"key":"bibr9-23779608231186247","unstructured":"Benze C., Spruce L., Groah L.
