Surgical team perceptions of the surgical safety checklist implementation in Indonesian hospitals: a descriptive qualitative study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionThe surgical safety checklist (SSC) is designed to improve the safety of surgical procedures, reduce avoidable complications and deaths and foster better communication and collaboration among healthcare providers. Despite the global acceptance of the initiative, there is limited comprehensive research on the challenges, success factors, impact and the role of professional organisations in SSC implementation in Indonesia. This study aimed to explore the implementation of SSC in Indonesia by investigating the challenges, success factors, impact and role of professional organisations in SSC implementation in Indonesia based on the perspective of the surgical team.
methodThis descriptive qualitative study, part of a larger research project, employed purposive sampling to select 13 interview participants from surgical teams across hospitals with varying ownership structures, as well as members of surgical-related professional organisations. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analysed using thematic analysis.
resultsParticipants acknowledged the positive impact of SSC on patient safety; however, challenges such as compliance issues, teamwork dynamics and unsafe behaviour persisted. Key success factors included strong organisational and policy support at the institutional level, including hospital accreditation, educational programmes, safety and quality committees, regular audits and workload management. However, professional organisations in Indonesia have not played a significant role in promoting SSC.
conclusionEffective SSC implementation strategies must target the micro, meso and macro levels for comprehensive success. Future research should prioritise overcoming barriers and harnessing the influence of professional organisations to standardise SSC practices, ultimately enhancing patient safety across healthcare settings.
