Abstract

Objective: To identify the implementation process and the daily use of the surgical safety checklist, according to the report of nurses who worked
in the surgical center of hospitals. Method: Descriptive-exploratory study, with a sample of 77 nurses. Data collection took place over six months in
2016, with the application of an instrument prepared and submitted to face and content validation. In the data analysis, descriptive statistics was adopted.
Results: The realization of an educational program was essential in the process of implementing the surgical safety checklist. The circulator nurse was
responsible for checking the instrument daily in the operating room. Most nurses reported partial adherence to the use of the checklist by the surgical
team; there was difference in adherence between the checking stages (sign in, time out, and sign out) and between professional categories. Conclusion:
The knowledge produced offers subsidies for the implementation of the instrument and the use of strategies that can assist in daily clinical practice.
