Abstract

Objective: To construct and validate a checklist for the organization of operating rooms.
Method: Methodological study conducted from June to December 2018 in a private hospital in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. It consisted of the following steps: literature review for the construction of the checklist, elaboration of the instrument and content validation. Seventy-four (74) members of the surgical team made assessments to validate the content. Reliability test by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and degree of internal consistency ≥ 0.70 were used.
Results: An instrument with three items (functionality of fixed and mobile equipment/accessories in the operating room; surgery; anesthesia) and 33 sub-items was developed. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.956.
Conclusion: The checklist has high reliability, good internal consistency and is suitable to the organization of the preparation of operating rooms. It contributes to a better management of incidents, safe surgical care and support for new studies.
