- Abstract
- Background: This study aimed to identify changes in counting error prevention awareness and patient safety perception through counting error prevention education to operating room nurses. Methods: This was a one-group, pretest-posttest, quasi-experimental study. The participants were operating room nurses. A total of 46 nurses were recruited, and data was collected between October 1 and 31, 2022. Measures used for this study assessed counting error prevention awareness and patient safety perception. The data were analyzed using paired t-tests. Results: The counting error prevention awareness of the participants increased significantly from 3.68 to 3.95 points before and after education, respectively (t=-5.07, P<0.001), while patient safety perception significantly increased from 3.95 to 4.20 points before and after training, respectively (t=-2.68, P=0.010).Conclusions: Counting error prevention awareness and patient safety perception of operating room nurses prevent fatal damage to patients with surgeries and lower mortality. The results of this study suggest the necessity of various education methods to reduce medical accidents among surgical patients and to raise patient safety perception for operating room nurses.
