Survey of the Safety Culture in the Perianesthesia Setting Linda Wilson PhD, RN, CPAN, CAPA, BC, CNE Dina Krenzischek MAS, RN, CPAN Pamela E. Windle MS, RN, CAN, BC, CPAN, CAPA Patricia Shewokis PhD H. Lynn Kane MSN, MBA, RN, CCRN Myrna Mamaril MSN, RN, CPAN American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses ASPAN
Objectives Describe the ASPAN Safety Matrix Discuss the research study that investigates the safety culture in the perianesthesia setting
American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) The association serving nurses practicing in all phases of preanesthesia and postanesthesia care, ambulatory surgery, and pain management www.aspan.org
Purpose of the Study To determine the safety culture among perianesthesia nurses in various perianesthesia settings
Research Question What is the current safety practice among perianesthesia nurses in their main perianesthesia setting?
Perianesthesia Settings Preadmission testing Preoperative / Holding Area Phase I PACU Phase II and III PACU
Methodology Survey completed by perianesthesia nurses from a variety of settings: Preadmission testing; Preoperative / Holding Area; Phase I PACU; Phase II and III Recovery
Instrument Demographic Data Form ASPAN Safety Matrix Survey Assessing the Safety Culture in the Perianesthesia Setting 60 item instrument with likert scale where 1 = never, 2 = rarely, 3 = sometimes, 4 = usually, and 5 = always
ASPAN Safety Matrix Pilot study 36 participants Alpha coefficients PAT =.79 Pre-op =.94 Phase I PACU =.91 Phase II/III PACU =.89
