Abstract

Introduction: World Health Organization (WHO) surgical safety checklist implementation is important for good outcomes of surgical patients. WHO surgical safety checklist has three components (sign in, time out, and sign out) and has to be applied before the surgery and before the transfer of the patient to the recovery room. WHO surgical safety checklist was implemented in 25%−65% among the surgical team in different hospitals. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the compliance and completeness of the WHO surgical safety checklist at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. Methods: We used a three-year retrospective survey from July 2017 to July 2020 based on a chart review of surgical patient charts. We include a total of 3460 surgical patient charts for three years period, and from this, we got a surgical safety checklist from 2842 surgical patient charts. We analyzed the data by using SPSS version 21. And finally, the descriptive statistics presented. Results: From this study, the compliance of the WHO surgical safety checklist was 82.1% (2842/3460). From the parts of the checklist, sign in, time out, and sign out were implemented in 85.1% (2420/2842), 43.9% (1248/2842), and 57.7% (1642/2842), respectively. The overall completeness of the checklist (all boxes ticked off) was 30.4% (864/2842). Conclusion: The compliance of the WHO surgical safety checklist was good but their completeness was still poor so it needs attention and follow-up for better completeness of the WHO surgical safety checklist.

埃塞俄比亚中北部Debre Tabor一家综合专科医院遵守世界卫生组织安全检查表的三年回顾性研究

引言:世界卫生组织(WHO)手术安全检查表的实施对手术患者的良好预后非常重要。世卫组织手术安全核对表有三个组成部分(签到、超时和签到)，必须在手术前和患者转至康复室之前应用。在不同医院的外科团队中，实施WHO手术安全检查表的比例为25% ~ 65%。目的:本研究的目的是评估Debre Tabor综合专科医院WHO手术安全检查表的依从性和完整性。方法:我们采用了2017年7月至2020年7月为期三年的回顾性调查，基于对外科患者图表的回顾。我们收集了三年3460例手术患者的病历，从中我们得到了2842例手术患者病历中的手术安全检查表。我们使用SPSS version 21对数据进行分析。最后，进行了描述性统计。结果:本组患者对WHO手术安全检查表的符合率为82.1%(2842/3460)。从检查表的各个部分来看，签到、超时和签出的实现率分别为85.1%(2420/2842)、43.9%(1248/2842)和57.7%(1642/2842)。检查表的总体完成率为30.4%(864/2842)。结论:WHO手术安全检查表的符合性较好，但其完整性仍较差，应引起重视并进行随访，以提高WHO手术安全检查表的完整性。
