Abstract

Objective: To analyze the scientific evidence on safety culture by health professionals related to the operating room environment. Method: Critical integrative review with a search in the Medline, Embase, LILACS, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science databases based on the health sciences descriptors: organizational culture, surgicenters and health personnel. Eight articles were selected, 75% of which were published by nursing, the professional class most found in the studies. Results: In data collection, the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture was used in 3 studies, the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire in 3, the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire/Operating Room in 1 and the online survey in 1 study. Two dimensions, management support and communication, were considered weak, while the best score was for teamwork. Conclusion: The use of various instruments to evaluate the safety culture in the operating room is evidenced, although there is an instrument of specific applicability.
