The Intervening Conditions and the Strategies for Effectively Implementing of the Surgical Safety Guideline in the Hospitals

Abstract

Objectives: There are deficiencies in codifying and implementing the surgical safety guideline, which may result in decreasing its positive outcomes. The aim of the current study is determining the intervening conditions and the strategies for effectively implementing the surgical safety guideline in the hospitals. Data Sources: Content analysis was used for analyzing the 28 qualitative articles that were searched by the systematic review in English databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, Elsevier, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar. Finally, 28 articles were entered into a research, and classified by the MAXQDA10 software. Results: The intervening conditions were categorized in 21 sub-categories and three categories as follows: technical factors, human factors, and managerial-organizational factors. The strategies were categorized in 19 sub-categories and three categories as follows: technical strategies, human strategies, and managerial-organizational strategies. Conclusions: It is necessary to consider the intervening conditions and strategies as a proper subset of factors related to safe surgical care.
