Brief Summary

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the perceived competence of operating room nurses and the opinions of the surgical team, regarding the competence of nurses and the influencing factors with a deep understanding.

Method: This convergent parallel mixed-methods study was carried out with members of the surgical team working in 17 hospitals including three public, two university, one city, one education and research, and ten private ones located in city center of Burdur, Isparta and Antalya provinces. The data were collected between May 1th, 2020 and August 20th, 2020 using Quantitative and Qualitative Personal Information Forms, Perceived Perioperative Competence Scale (PPCS-R) and semi-structured interview form. The quantitative data were assessed using the SPSS 24.0 package program, and the qualitative data were assessed using content analysis and thematic analysis. The quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed independently, and interpreted based on analytical generalization in the discussion section.
