Background: Quality in health is an emergent concern, particularly in surgical settings, and is associated with the investment of each profession, including nurses.
Objective: To evaluate nurses’ perceptions of the quality in health in the operating room as regards structure, process, and outcome.
Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted in a sample of 478 nurses working for at least 2 years in an operating room. An electronic questionnaire was applied, including the scales - Structure Indicators in the Operating Room (IEBO), Quality Care Processes in the Operating Room (PQABO), and Quality Outcomes in the Operating Room (RQBO).
Results: The highest evaluations occurred in outcomes. However, the structure dimensions, namely Circuits in the operating room, Continuity in nursing care, and Specificities of professional groups, had the lowest ratings.
Conclusion: The evaluation of quality is essential because of the important role that nurses can play in these settings, namely in planning corrections and improvements for the quality and safety of care.
