Development and validation of a technology for obstetric intraoperative care safety

Abstract

Objectives: to develop and validate an obstetric surgical safety checklist for intraoperative care. Methods: this is a methodological study with two phases: integrative review in databases, using selection criteria and descriptors to synthesize the evidence and develop the checklist; checklist content validation, with 37 judges, who answered a Likert-type questionnaire. For analysis, a >85% content validation index was applied. Results: the checklist’s first moment reached a 96.1 content validation index; the second moment, 95.5; the third moment, 98.9. Thus, the validation index of all verifying sections present in the three surgical moments was 97.1. Cronbach’s Alpha value was 95.57%. Conclusions: the checklist items were validated by judges, with improvement of some items and insertion of others.

Segurança do paciente: a importância da cirurgia segura no centro obstétrico

“…Foi possível evidenciar alguns benefícios da implementação da lista de verificação de cirurgia segura nos centros obstétricos, dentre eles, melhoria no atendimento intraoperatório (13) ; melhorias e qualificação dos cuidados, padronizando condutas essenciais (14) ; diminui o risco de hemorragia periparto e pré-eclâmpsia (15) ; melhoria na saúde e no bem-estar das mulheres submetidas à cirurgia obstétrica ou ginecológica (16) ; e ajuda na padronização do atendimento, melhora na comunicação e ajudando as equipes a ter um desempenho ideal (17)(18)(19) .…”
