Résumé

Tackling operating theatre waiting lists may focus healthcare organisations' attention on increased productivity while downplaying safety concerns. To explore safety culture in a perioperative department from operating theatre practitioners' perspective. Cross-sectional pen-and-paper survey among nurses in an operating theatre department in Malta using the Safety, Communication, Operational Reliability and Engagement questionnaire. The response rate was 71.2% (n = 146). An organisational win-win situation is achievable, whereby safety culture perceptions are improved, not necessarily by decreasing job demands such as tackling waiting lists, but by recognising operating theatre staff's input and involving them in work-related decisions.
