Abstract

Background

Productivity refers to the maximum use of human resources in service provision. Due to the existence of advanced equipment and instruments for surgery, the operating room is one of the most complex and income-generating sections of a hospital. Since the improvement of operating room nurses’ productivity can lead to enhanced hospital productivity, this study was done to determine the productivity rate of operating room nurses in Iran.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was done on 533 operating room nurses from 8 metropolises in Iran in 2022. The sampling method in this research was multistage. The data collection instruments were Hersy & Belanchard & Gold.Smith productivity questionnaire and demographic characteristics. After receiving the ethics code, data collection was done for three months. Descriptive and inferential analyses, including independent t-tests and analysis of variance, were used for data analysis. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 18. P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results

The mean age of the participants was 29.83 ± 5.94 and 421 of the participants were women. The mean and SD for total productivity in operating room nurses was obtained at 60.83 ± 12.78, below average. Data analysis shows that total productivity was significantly associated with marital status (P-value = 0.035) and working experience (P-value = 0.019).

Conclusion

Considering the low mean productivity rate of operating room nurses, researchers recommend that hospital managers pay more attention to the productivity of operating room nurses by knowing the influential factors and implementing proper and high-quality management.

伊朗观点手术室护士的手术室生产率：全国横断面研究

背景生产力是指在提供服务时最大限度地利用人力资源。由于拥有先进的手术设备和器械，手术室是医院中最复杂、最能创造收入的部门之一。由于提高手术室护士的生产率可以提高医院的生产率，因此本研究旨在确定伊朗手术室护士的生产率。方法本横断面研究于 2022 年对伊朗 8 个大都市的 533 名手术室护士进行了调查。本研究的抽样方法为多阶段抽样。数据收集工具为 Hersy & Belanchard & Gold.Smith 生产率问卷和人口统计学特征。在获得道德规范后，数据收集工作持续了三个月。数据分析采用了描述性和推论性分析，包括独立 t 检验和方差分析。收集到的数据由 SPSS 18 进行分析。结果参与者的平均年龄为（29.83 ± 5.94）岁，其中 421 人为女性。手术室护士总生产率的平均值为（60.83 ± 12.78），低于平均水平。数据分析显示，总生产率与婚姻状况（P 值 = 0.035）和工作经验（P 值 = 0.019）有明显相关。

期刊介绍： The objective of this new online journal is to serve as a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed source of information related to the administrative, economic, operational, safety, and quality aspects of the ambulatory and in-patient operating room and interventional procedural processes. The journal will provide high-quality information and research findings on operational and system-based approaches to ensure safe, coordinated, and high-value periprocedural care. With the current focus on value in health care it is essential that there is a venue for researchers to publish articles on quality improvement process initiatives, process flow modeling, information management, efficient design, cost improvement, use of novel technologies, and management.
