Background: The paper describes the problems of perioperative safety process (PBP) in practice in relation to the region in which perioperative care nurses work. Realization of research was performed in 4 health facilities in the territory of the East and the West Bohemian region.

Aim: We established four goals in our research: to determine the level of awareness of respondents about PBP, whether and how long the responders used PBP in their workplaces, how perioperative care nurses perceive the utility of PBP for the patient and how responders are satisfied with setting of PBP in their workplace.

Methods: We compiled 27-items questionnaire for our research. The resulting data were evaluated by descriptive statistics and neparametrical Mann - Whitney test. 61 responders participated in this research. The research sample consisted of 45 perioperative care nurses and 16 anestethic nurses from gynaecological and central operating rooms of four health facilities in the territory of the East and the West Bohemian region. The respondents agreed with the research.

Results: We found that on workplace of all respondents is used the perioperative safety process for ± 3 years (average 3.29, standard deviation 0.85). The awareness of respondents about perioperative safety process was evaluated as excellent. Most of respondents are satisfied with the setting of perioperative safety process on their workplace and their perceive the utility of perioperative safety process as very high.

Conclusion: Perioperative safety process is the integral part of every operation and it´s required to be carried at all workplaces in accordance with departmental safety objective.
