Method: Data were collected from 290 operating room staff including nurses, anesthetists, and surgeons at the two university hospitals in Turkey. A Turkish translation of SAQ-OR and employee information form were used to collect data. Results: The following factors significantly contributed to an increase in safety attitudes among operating room staff: having worked 11 years or more, working only in the day time, and working in operating rooms that have 2–5 surgery per day. Also, operating room staff exhibit a higher level of team collaboration and communication with their colleagues and nurses than other operating room staff. Conclusion: Patient safety culture and teamwork between OR staff should be improved. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAdaptation Of ScaleOperating RoomOperating Room StaffPatient SafetyPatient Safety CultureConference Object172-s2.0-8507185697110.1016/j.xjep.2019.100287Q3
