Abstract:

Background and significance of research: Nurses’ awareness of professional values and how those values affect their behaviors is an integral part of nursing care. There is a large body of research on nursing professional values, however, a careful survey of the available literature did not yield any studies investigating the status of professional values in operating rooms. Objective: This study aims to investigate the perception of operating room nurses of university hospitals toward professional values. Research plan: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected using Schank and Weis’s Nurses Professional Values Scale–Revised. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS version 16. Participants and settings: The 513 participants of the study consisted of operating room nurses and nurse anesthetists from six university hospitals. Ethical considerations: This study has been approved by the ethics committee of the university. Findings: The mean total professional values score of the operating room staff was found to be 100.84 ± 15.685, which indicates that the participants had a positive perception toward observance of nursing professional values in practice. The results showed that the participants considered the domains of justice and activism as, respectively, the most and the least important. The operating room staff’s overall professional values scores were not found to correlate significantly with their ages, professional experience, university majors, or attendance at ethics workshops. However, a significant difference was found between the professional values scores of the female and male staff. The professional values scores of the operating room nurses and the nurse anesthetists were not significantly different (p value = 0.494). Conclusion: Operating room staff’s awareness of professional values is essential to providing care to patients based on professional principles. Accordingly, there is need for programs to raise operating room nurses’ awareness of their professional duties and improve their professional performance.

Abstract:

Training of non-technical skills helps to achieve reduction of human errors that could contribute to safety of patients. For assessment of non-technical skills of Operating Room (OR) nurses, researchers of the University of Aberdeen developed intra-operative work organization protocol for observation of non-technical behaviour. This system includes taxonomy of non-technical skills, definitions, desirable and adverse behavioural markers, and Likert scale for behavioural assessment. The objective of this research is to assess non-technical skills of OR nurses in work environment and compare the findings with OR nurses self-assessment of non-technical skills. The study involved 15 interviews with OR nurses in sterile position (scrub nurses) and 15 observations of their work in four hospitals. Providing self-assessment, OR nurses note a tendency to minimal communication. In practice, nurses often show good ability to think analytically, to predict events and needs and are able to act decisively during surgery. OR nurses in Latvia partially associate their work with non-technical skills, however in practice these skills are used, and they were relatively highly valued during the study. Insufficient self-assessment of such skills of nurses as cooperation in performance of physical tasks, promotion of personnel safety and decisive action, indicates the need for development of scrub nurse's work standards with clearly defined area of responsibility and duties.

Abstract:

BackgroundAvoidable complications for surgical patients still occur despite efforts to improve patient safety processes in operating rooms. Analysis of experiences of operating room nurses can contribute to better understanding of perioperative processes and flow, and why avoidable complications still occur.AimTo explore aspects of patient safety practice during joint replacement surgery through assessment of operating room nurse experiences.MethodA qualitative design using semistructured interviews with 21 operating room nurses currently involved in joint replacement surgery in Sweden. Inductive qualitative content analysis was used.ResultsThe operating room nurses described experiences with patient safety hazards on an organisational, team and individual level. Uncertainties concerning a reliable plan for the procedure and functional reporting, as well as documentation practices, were identified as important. Teamwork and collaboration were described as crucial at the team level, including being respected as valuable, having shared goals and common expectations. On the individual level, professional knowledge, skills and experience were needed to make corrective steps.ConclusionThe conditions to support patient safety, or limit complication risk, during joint replacement surgery continue to be at times inconsistent, and require steady performance attention. Operating room nurses make adjustments to help solve problems as they arise, where there are obvious risks for patient complications. The organisational patient safety management process still seems to allow deviation from established practice standards at times, and relies on individual-based corrective measures at the ‘bedside’ at times for good results.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Understanding nurses’ knowledge and attitudes might be important in influencing their behaviors of complying with pressure injury prevention measures in the operating room. PURPOSE: The aim of this descriptive and cross-sectional study was to determine operating room nurses’ knowledge and attitudes about pressure injury prevention. METHODS: This study was performed with 174 nurses working in the operating rooms of 5 hospitals in Istanbul between July and October 2020. The data were collected with the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test-MPPUKT and Attitude Towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention Instrument-APuP and analyzed with parametric and nonparametric tests using the SPSS 20.0 package program. The statistical significance level was accepted as P < .05. RESULTS: The total mean score of the MPPUKT of the operating room nurses was 32.72 ± 6.65, and the knowledge level of only 57.5% of the nurses was considered sufficient (MPPUKT score ≥ 70%); the total mean score of the APuP was 44.67 ± 3.10, and almost all (94.8%) had a satisfactory attitude (≥75%). In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the knowledge and attitudes of the operating room nurses about pressure injury prevention (P = .000). CONCLUSION: This study has shown that the knowledge level of the operating room nurses was weak and their attitudes were satisfactory. It is recommended to improve the knowledge and attitudes of operating room nurses to prevent pressure injuries through effective in-service training programs.

Abstract:

Operating room nurses play a critical role in patient safety. The evaluation of safety attitudes of operating room nurses reflects their awareness and belief of patient safety. Currently, however, the research on the safety attitudes of operating room nurses is hard to track in the existing literature in China. Therefore, this paper was conducted to explore the factors influencing the safety attitudes of operating room nurses and their cognition and attitudes toward adverse event reporting. A total of 711 operating room nurses from 16 tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province from March 1, 2018, to 2019 were selected. The general information of operating room nurses, such as age, gender, and years of service in the operating room, was obtained through the basic information questionnaire. The Chinese version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (C-SAQ) was used to evaluate the safety attitude of operating room nurses, and the cognition and attitude of the subjects to adverse event reports were assessed through the questionnaire of cognition and attitude toward adverse event reporting. The average score of safety attitudes of operating room nurses was 4.20 ± 0.49. The two dimensions with a lower positive reaction rate of the safety attitudes of operating room nurses were stress recognition and working conditions. The main factors affecting the safety attitude of operating room nurses were night shifts, as well as cognition and attitudes toward adverse event reporting. There was a positive correlation between the total score of C-SAQ and the total score of cognition and attitudes toward adverse event reporting ( P < 0.01 , r = 0.445). The safety attitude of operating room nurses is at the upper-middle level, but the stress recognition and working conditions need to be improved. Through the allocation of nursing human resources, the strengthening of hospital logistics support, and the establishment of nonpunitive nursing adverse event reporting system, the operating room safety can be significantly enhanced.

Abstract:

Introduction. The use of guidelines in the work of operating room nurses makes daily tasks easier and enables treatment in accordance with set procedures based on scientific evidence. Additionally, the use of set guidelines in the work of operating room nurses enables traceability of healthcare and the best care for the patient, which also increases the safety of the patient in the operating room during the perioperative period. Aim. The goal of this article is to investigate and determine if operating room nurses are aware of the guidelines, if they use them in their daily work, and if the guidelines are available at their workplace. The goal is also to determine the opinion of operating room nurses about legal protection that the guidelines provide in case of unforeseen events, as well as the necessary level of education of the personnel setting the guidelines, and the effect of the guidelines on the patient's safety in the operating room. Additionally, it is to determine if the use of the guidelines reduces inconsistencies in the work of operating room nurses in different hospitals, and which institutions are in charge of setting them. Methods. The survey for this research was conducted by the author of this paper and was distributed at the Congress of Operating Room Nurses in October of 2019. 210 operating room nurses completed the survey, being of different levels of formal education, and are employees of various Clinical Hospital Centres, Clinical Hospitals and General Hospitals in the Republic of Croatia. Results. According to the results of the survey, 90 respondents were Bachelors of Nursing, 60 respondents had a university degree, and 60 respondents had a high school diploma. The length of work experience of the operating room nurses who participated in the survey was between 1 and 30 years. The results of the research showed that the majority of operating room nurses were familiar with the existence of the guidelines and recommendations, and they used them in their work. Results show that most respondents are aware of the need to use the guidelines, and that they are available at their work place. Results also show that operating room nurses feel that the use of the guidelines has a very strong influence on the level of patient safety. Operating room nurses know that the guidelines provide legal protection and that the level of the nurses' education is important for setting the guidelines. Conclusion. Operating room nurses use the guidelines in daily work whenever they are applicable. Respondents have also developed an awareness of the obligation to use the guidelines, as well as their benefits in improving patient safety. They also provide legal protection in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Abstract:

Objective: to indentify the coping strategies used by nurses of the Operating Room and Recovery Room. Methods: this is a descriptive study, from quantitative approach. Data was collected by inventory of coping strategies of Lazarus and Folkman, which includes thoughts and actions used to deal with external or internal demands of a particular stressor, centralizing in the use of strategies for coping. The results were verified as statistically significant or not, stablishing the level of significance of 5%. Results: it was found that the confrontation and overcoming of stress in the workplace, converged for the pleasure and satisfaction of nurses. As the process is understood as an interactive model, in wich the relations between person and workplace interact constantly, it becomes evident that the adaptation of the human being to the different stress situations is necessary so that the adequate coping happens. Conclusion: it is concluded that the strategy used by nurses was more problem-solving and less used, the removal. Descriptors: stress; adaptation psychological; operating rooms.

Abstract:

Patient safety has now become a global issue and a critical component of hospital quality management. One of the components in patient safety that must be carried out in the operating room is the application of the surgical safety checklist. Adherence in implementing the surgical safety checklist is influenced by several factors such as the knowledge of patient safety that nurses have. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of patient safety knowledge and the compliance of nurses in implementing the surgical safety checklist in the Pre-Operation Room, the Operation Room, RSD Mangusada Badung. This study used a quantitative observational method with a cross sectional design. The sample was all nurses in the operating room installation room RSD Mangusada Badung who were selected by a total sampling of 41 people. The research was conducted from 01-31 October 2020. The results of data analysis using the rho Spearman nonparametric statistical test at a significance level of ? 0.05, the p value was 0.000 <0.05. This shows that there is a significant relationship between the level of patient safety knowledge on nurses' compliance in implementing the surgical safety checklist in the Pre-Operation Room for the Operation Room, RSD Mangusada Badung. It is hoped that health workers, especially nurses in the operating room, can increase knowledge about patient safety and be more obedient in implementing the surgical safety checklist.

Abstract:

The Key Skills Management in Operating Room (KSMOR) was a project that assessed key skills, knowledge, procedures and the degree of adaptation of perioperative nurses in operating theatres in the countries of the European Union (EU). Five EU countries participated in data collection. The respondents were perioperative nurses divided into two groups (with experience in operating rooms up to 2 years and over 2 years). The third group consisted of operating theatre managers who participated in the data collection and subsequently evaluated the user-friendliness of the questionnaires used for the data collection. The user-friendliness of the questionnaires was also assessed by all the perioperative nurses participating in the data collection. The majority of respondents from the Czech Republic rated the level of knowledge/skills at a good level, i.e. 2 points ("You are independent, you manage the procedure normally in your daily routine"), even for the group of the respondents with the length of experience in operating rooms up to 2 years. Both the managers and the perioperative nurses assessed the user-friendliness of the questionnaire on skills and knowledge of perioperative nurses positively. The output of the KSMOR project is an electronic version of the questionnaire on skills and knowledge of perioperative nurses, which enables evaluation and training of perioperative nurses not only in basic skills but also in very specific ones according to the particular field. It is also a suitable tool for the operating theatre manager for the management and evaluation of perioperative nurses, planning and support of educational activities and its subsequent integration into the operation of operating theatres.

Abstract:

The quality of health services and the image of a hospital is largely determined by the role of nurses, because 90% of health services in hospitals are provided by nurses. in providing quality nursing services can be applied by using caring behavior in providing nursing care to clients. Caring is special and depends on the relationship between the nurse and the client, where caring facilitates the nurse's ability to recognize the client so the nurse can find out the client's problem and find and implement a solution. The survey conducted by researchers at Solok District Hospital on evaluating the quality of nursing services to patient satisfaction in the inpatient office of Solok Hospital obtained a surgical room with 42% good, and 58% less good. The fact that was found in the field more than half (59.4%) of respondents had a negative perception of the implementation of nurses caring behavior in the operating room in Solok Hospital and more than half (40.6%) of respondents had a positive perception of the implementation of nurses caring behavior in the room inpatient surgery. It is expected that all nurses, especially nurses in the room can carry out caring behaviors to all patients optimally because caring behavior by nurses can optimally affect how a person or patient thinks, feels and behaves in dealing with others, so as to provide patient satisfaction towards nursing services.

Abstract:

Background Medical malpractice data can be used to improve patient safety. Objective To describe the types of harm events involving nurses that lead to malpractice claims and to compare claims among intensive care units (ICUs), emergency departments, and operating rooms. Methods Malpractice claims closed between 2007 and 2016 were extracted from a national database. Claims with a nurse as the primary provider were identified and then compared by location of the harm event: ICU, emergency department, or operating room. Multivariable regression was used to determine predictors of claims payment. Results Of 54 699 claims, 314 involved ICU nurses as the primary provider. The majority (59%) of claims involving ICU nurses resulted in death or permanent injury. The most common allegation of claims involving ICU nurses was failure to monitor (47%), which was higher than among claims against nurses in the emergency department (9%) or the operating room (4%) (P < .001). The most common diagnosis in claims involving ICU nurses was decubitus ulcers (26%). Despite equivalent numbers of defendants per claim, the median indemnity for paid claims involving ICU nurses was higher ($125 000) than that paid for claims originating in the emergency department ($56 799) or operating room ($43 910) (P < .001). In multivariable regression, 2 variables increased the risk of claim payment: ICU location (odds ratio, 1.79 [95% CI, 1.29-2.48]) and permanent injury (odds ratio, 1.50 [95% CI, 1.07-2.09]). Conclusions Malpractice claims involving ICU nurses were distinct from claims in comparably fast-paced settings. Focusing harm-prevention efforts in the ICU on skin integrity and monitoring of patients would most likely mitigate many highly severe harms involving ICU nurses, which would benefit both patients and nurses.

Abstract:

Objective To investigate and compare the attitudes of operating room nurses and doctors regarding patient safety, performance of surgical time-out and recognition of count error. Methods This cross-sectional study recruited operating room nurses, surgeons and anaesthesiologists between 1 August 2015 and 5 February 2016. A Safety Attitude Questionnaire was used to analyse the three elements in both groups of operating room staff (nurses and doctors). Results The study analysed the questionnaires from 171 participants; 95 nurses (55.6%) and 76 doctors (44.4%). Differences exist between doctors and nurses regarding teamwork climate, working conditions, perception of management and the recognition of stress. On the performance of surgical time-out, nurses showed higher scores on way of counting, while doctors showed higher scores on the time-out procedure itself. Also, doctors believed they actively cooperated with the nurses, while nurses believed they did not receive cooperation. Scores for the recognition of count error were higher in nurses than in doctors. More experienced operating room staff showed higher scores than younger less experienced staff. Conclusions Perceptual differences among doctors and nurses need to be minimized for the safety of the patient in the operating room.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Operating theatre is a very specific work environment. The staff employed in this organizational unit, apart from specific professional qualifications, must have the ability to make quick decisions as well as the skills to utilize highly specialized medical apparatus and equipment. Operating theatre nurses are exposed to various harmful factors, thus strain resulting from this type of work can be both mental and physical. The aim of this paper was to assess the level of knowledge of surgical nurses about harmful factors at their workstations. Material and methods: The study was performed in a group of 625 nurses working in different types of operating rooms of public hospitals in Poland. An original questionnaire survey was used to characterize the harmful factors occurring at the operating room nurse's workstation. Results: The results obtained prove that according to the nurses surveyed, the main problem associated with working in the operating theatre is constant exposure to harmful factors that have a significant impact on workload. Conclusions: There are factors identified by the staff at the operating theatre nurse's workstation that affect the level of strain both physically and mentally. Shaping the right working conditions, affecting the efficiency and safety of employees should be a priority for hospital managers and directors.

Abstract:

This article reports the results of a case study of the consequences of mobile device use for the work practices of operating room nurses. The study identifies different patterns of mobile technology use by operating room nurses, including both work-related and non-work-related use. These patterns have multiple consequences for nurses, such as improvements in information access, e-learning and work-related communication, as well as a perceived increase in distractions from the collaborative work. We conceptualize these consequences in terms of three level effects and explain how we find both positive and negative consequences on the third level. On the positive side, improvements were found in how nurses spent their unoccupied time during the stable parts of operations, contributing to their well-being and job satisfaction. A negative consequence was the perceived increase in distraction from the collaborative operating room work practices.

Abstract:

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) stands out among healthcare-related infections as one of the most important globally due to its associated morbidity and mortality. However, it is well known that the transoperative period is recognized as one of the most critical moments for the prevention of SSI. Objective: We evaluated the knowledge of the operating room (OR) nurse coordinators regarding SSI prevention measures. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 30 large hospitals in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, from February 2018 to April 2019. Data were collected through interviews with OR nurse coordinators. Results: Administration time of prophylactic antibiotic administered between 30 and 60 minutes prior to surgery was reported by 84% of the professionals and the suspension of this agent in the first 24 hours was reported by 47.8%. Preoperative hair removal within the operating room was mentioned by 60% of respondents and 36.7% mentioned using a razor. The Safe Surgery program of the WHO was unknown to 6.7% of nurses. Among those who knew about it, 20.8% stated that there was no surgical site demarcation. Presentation of the surgical team occurred before the beginning of the procedure in only 53.3% of the institutions. Patient surveillance for SSI was reported by 93.3% of respondents, but the criteria adopted for the diagnosis of SSI were unknown, even though SSI rates were given for 90% of services, predominantly via meetings (53.5%). Conclusions: The knowledge of nurses related to the prevention of SSI was not satisfactory, pointing to the need for immediate efforts in education and awareness programs. Such programs may facilitate changes in practice through the recognition of surgical patient risk by these professionals, thus leading to better planning and practice during the trans-operative period.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Abstract:

Background. Occupational exposure seriously threatens the physical and mental health of professionals and has become an important public health problem. In clinical medical and nursing work, medical staff, especially nursing staff, are faced with the status quo of occupational exposure with high risk, serious harm, and severe situation. Therefore, a sound management system must be established to control the occupational exposure of nurses. Aims. According to the PRECEDE management model, evaluate the operating room nurses’ knowledge, belief, and behavior scores on the protection of surgical smoke, understand their awareness of surgical smoke and the current status of protection, improve the mastery rate and protection compliance of surgical smoke-related knowledge in the operating room, reduce the harm of surgical smoke to the human body, and provide a basis for smoke protection.Materials and methods. 125 doctors working in the operating room of our hospital were selected as the control group of this study, and 112 nonsmoke-exposed nurses working in the operating room of our hospital were selected as the observation group. The nurses’ knowledge-belief behavior scores and self-evaluation scores of smoke influence were counted before and after the intervention in the operating room. SPSS25.0 was used to process the data. Tests and repeated measures analysis of variance were used to compare the effects before and after intervention. Results. After one month of intervention, the knowledge scores of nurses in the operating room on the protection of surgical smoke increased significantly, and the difference was significant ( P < 0.05 ); the scores of related concepts, physical properties, chemical properties, and authoritative protection standards increased significantly ( P < 0.05 ). There was no significant increase in the scores of smoke hazards ( P > 0.05 ); the attitude of smoke protection increased significantly, which was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ); and the behavior compliance of smoke protection was significantly increased, which was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). After one month of intervention, the self-evaluation score of smoke effect of operating room nurses decreased significantly, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). The data was analyzed by repeated measure analysis of variance. The knowledge of surgical smoke ( F = 65.570 , P < 0.001 ), attitude ( F = 78.307 , P < 0.001 ), and behavior ( F = 403.015 , P < 0.001 ) scores gradually increased. The observation group’s total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the proportion of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were higher than that of the control group, and the proportion of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was lower than that of the control group. The difference was statistically significant P < 0.05 . Conclusion. After the intervention of operating room nurses under the guidance of PRECEDE management mode, the theoretical knowledge of operating room nurses is effectively improved, the operations are standardized, the self-evaluation scores of smoke influence are reduced, and the safety level of operating room is improved. More importantly, the health of nursing staff is fully guaranteed.

Abstract:

Health, one of the fundamental human rights, should be eligible and attainable and it should be provided equal to everybody. Advances in the field of medicine and technology today may sometimes cause the line between life and death to become uncertain in health field. Also, along with some value problems the importance of ethic in working life has increased gradually. Ethic is a department of philosophy which investigates the quality and fundamentals of values underlying the relations between people and it is to examine good or bad or right or wrong morally. It leads to what should or should not be do in professional works and presents the necessary moral values so that science and technology do not damage the society.The concept of ethic has a different importance for operating room nursery as well as in all fields of nursery. Operating rooms are the areas where patients expose to a significant attempt like surgery. They are stressful atmospheres that patients are unconscious due to anaesthesia, there are many technological devices around, a multidisciplinar team works together, there are life-threatening situations and the events that require to make fast decisions happen very often in this process. In addition, they are the places where harmful risks such as encountering of patients with injury, infection and tocsic materials are high. Because of all of these features, operating room nurses may often experience ethical problems. Eventually, nurses who are important members of health teams often encounter with the situations that require to make decisions due to their expanding roles and responsibilities, continuous communication with patients and team and busy working conditions. Nurses have to decide according to ethical principles and take the responsibility of these decisions. Thus, ethical sensitivity has to be developed in risky environments where ethical problems are often experienced such as operating rooms. In this context, educators in undergraduate education should effort to bring basic ethical principles to nursery students, to make the importance of ethic in professional work to be understood and to develop ethical sensitivity. Nurse administrators also should reinforce this development in post-graduate process. Importance of ethic for operating room nurses, study results for frequently encountered ethical problems and operating room nursery in terms of general ethical principles are presented in this collection.

Abstract:

Background: Surgical site infection has become a problem in the operating room, and the nurses’ knowledge, attitude, and practice could impact the incidence of the infection. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of studies on this issue in China. Therefore, determining nurses’ knowledge, attitude, and practice of surgical site infection prevention is necessary. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the knowledge, attitude, and practice of surgical site infection prevention and their relationships, as well as to identify differences in knowledge, attitude, and practice of surgical site infection prevention according to nurses’ demographic characteristics. Methods: A sample of 999 operating room nurses participated in 49 tertiary hospitals and 75 secondary hospitals in Guizhou Province, Southwest China. Data were collected using validated questionnaires through a Chinese survey website. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, One-Way Analysis of Variance, and Pearson product-moment correlation. Results: The knowledge of surgical site infection prevention was at a low level, the attitude was positive, and the practice was at a high level. Approximately 39% of the nurses passed knowledge scores of ≥ 70%, 60% gave a positive attitude score of ≥ 80%, and 76% achieved a practice score of ≥ 80%. The nurses’ attitude was positively related to knowledge (p < .01), and practice (p < .01), respectively. However, knowledge and practice did not significantly relate. The age group of 30-39 years old had significant higher knowledge than other age groups. The nurses with working experience of 6-15 years had significant higher knowledge scores than other groups. In addition, the nurses with one time of training frequency had significant lower attitude and practice scores than those with six to ten times of training frequency. Conclusion: Approximately 60% of operating room nurses still had inadequate knowledge regarding surgical site infection prevention, but they had a positive attitude and high level of practice. The findings of this study might serve as an input for nurse administrators or policymakers to provide updated knowledge or guideline, closed supervision, and in-service training on surgical site infection prevention for operating room nurses.

Abstract:

Objective: Moral courage distinguishes real moralists from hypocrites and indicates the commitment of nurses to their patients. Organizational commitment can also influence this commitment. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the correlation between moral courage and organizational commitment of operating room nurses working in the teaching hospitals of Arak University of Medical Sciences.Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on 136 operating room nurses who were selected using the convenience sampling method. The required data were collected through demographic information form, the organizational commitment questionnaire of Allen and Myer, and the professional moral courage scale by Sekerka and colleagues. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software (version 21) for descriptive and correlational analyses.Results: The mean scores of moral courage and organizational commitment of operating room nurses were 62.5±6.5 and 101.86±13.7, respectively. Moreover, moral courage did not have a statistically significant relationship with organizational commitment (P>0.05). The moral courage and organizational commitment of the participants differed significantly in terms of their type of employment (P<0.05) and age (P<0.05), respectively.Conclusion: Given the high mean score of moral courage and organizational commitment in operating room nurses, it can be said that nurses tend to show moral behaviors. On the other hand, the low score of the endurance of threat indicates that operating room nurses do not receive the necessary support from the organization for their courageous behavior. Therefore, the support of senior managers is essential for the occurrence of such behaviors.
