Analysis

The Operating Theatre Human Factors Questionnaire is designed to assess the human factors that influence performance and safety within the surgical environment.

Objective

The primary goal of the Operating Theatre Human Factors Questionnaire is to identify and analyze parameters related to human behavior, communication, organization, and teamwork during surgical procedures.

Scoring

Participants evaluate various aspects of the surgical environment using Likert-type or other rating scales. The total score is used to analyze human factors and identify areas for improvement in the surgical setting.
