Evaluation of surgical technologists' performance in laparoscopic instrument decontamination and sterilization by 360-degree appraisal method: An observational study
Introduction
Surgical technologists play a crucial role in maintaining patient safety and ensuring the overall quality of care in surgical settings. Their performance in the field of decontamination and sterilization of laparoscopic instruments is as important as it directly affects the risk of surgical complications. Therefore, the present study aimed to appraise the performance of surgical technologists in laparoscopic instrument decontamination and sterilization by A 360-degree performance appraisal method in selected hospitals in Alborz Province, Iran.
Methods
The present study is a cross-sectional study which was conducted among 110 surgical technologists in Alborz Province, Iran from May 2024 to January 2025 using convenient sampling. Data were collected using a performance checklist and the 360-degree evaluation method. The checklist's validity was confirmed through content validity and expert panel opinions. Its reliability was established with a 0.91 agreement coefficient between two external raters and an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.822 for the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 28 software and one-sample t-test, independent groups t-test, and one-way analysis of variance.
Results
The findings on the performance of surgical technologists in the decontamination and sterilization of laparoscopic instruments reveal that 2 technologists were classified in the low performance category, with scores between 0 and 16. A total of 101 technologists fell into the moderate performance category, achieving scores ranging from 17 to 33. Furthermore, 7 technologists achieved the high-performance level, with scores between 34 and 50.
Conclusion
This study utilized the 360-degree feedback method, which revealed that surgical technologists perform moderately in reprocessing laparoscopic instruments. To gain a clearer understanding of their strengths and areas needing improvement, it is important to conduct ongoing evaluations using a range of methods.
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.
