Bi-lingual content validation of the Non-Technical Skills for Operating Room Nurses (NOTSORN) tool: A Delphi study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The primary responsibility of the operating room nurse is to prevent adverse events and patient harm during surgery. Since most preventable adverse events are the result of breakdowns in communication and teamwork, or non-technical skills, training such skills should strengthen the operating room nurses' error prevention abilities. Behavioural marker systems operationalise non-technical skills; however, previous systems for operating room nurses do not cover the full extent of non-technical skills used by operating room nurses. Thus, the Non-technical Skills for Operating Room Nurses (NOTSORN) behavioural marker system was developed. Objective: The objective of this study was to establish face and content validity of the Non-Technical Skills for Operating Room Nurses behavioural marker system. This multi-item scale measures individual non-technical skills in operating room nursing. Participants: A purposive sample of operating room nursing researchers, educators, and senior clinicians from nine countries worldwide. Methods: A two round, Delphi panel with international experts in operating room nursing. The survey was administered online. Content validity index (CVI) was used to measure agreement among panel members. Results: 25 operating room nurse experts participated in the online Delphi study. After round 1, 56 items were accepted, 26 items were revised, and 1 item was dropped. Following round 2, all items (6 with minor revisions) were accepted. Thus, the Non-technical Skills for Operating Room Nurses tool comprise 81 items. The scale level CVI score for the final 81 item tool was 0.99. The individual item level CVI scores ranged from 0.9 to 1.0. Conclusions: The Non-Technical Skills of Operating Room Nurses behavioural marker system is a nuanced tool with a myriad of non-technical skills operating room nurses need to undertake their work safely. The tool's intended use includes student/trainee supervision, supervision of novice operating room nurses, self-reflection for performance reports, and in operating room nursing education. Over time, use of the tool has the potential to contribute to patient safety in the operating room. Tweetable abstract: The NOTSORN tool provides a comprehensive and holistic evaluation of OR nurses' non-technical skills for safe surgical performance.
