Clinicians' Perspectives on Proactive Patient Safety Behaviors in the Perioperative Environment.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The perioperative environment is hazardous, but patients remain safe with a successful outcome during their care due to staff adaptability and resiliency. The behaviors that support this adaptability and resilience have yet to be defined or analyzed. One Safe Act (OSA), a tool and activity developed to capture self-reported proactive safety behaviors that staff use in their daily practice to promote individual and team-based safe patient care, may allow for improved definition and analysis of these behaviors.

This qualitative thematic analysis included a convenience sam
