Long-term effects of perioperative briefing and debriefing on team climate: A mixed-method evaluation study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To evaluate the long-term (5 years) effects of perioperative briefing and debriefing on team climate. We explored the barriers and facilitators of the performance of perioperative briefing and debriefing to explain its effects on team climate and to make recommendations for further improvement of surgical safety tools.
