ABSTRACT
Considering the high-risk, stressful, and fast-paced nature of the perioperative environment and vulnerability of surgical patients, the quest for maintaining a safety culture in the OR is ongoing. Speaking up-an interaction between perioperative team members to address a concern-requires team member empowerment to advocate for patient safety when needed. Hierarchical gradients, lack of psychological safety, incivility, and a nonsupportive organizational culture can impede speaking-up behaviors. Strategies to improve speaking up include using multimethod education initiatives, enhancing psychological safety, and managing conflict. Perioperative nurses can experience barriers to speaking up, such as lack of team familiarity, normalization of deviance, and differing perceptions among team members. The logistics of whole-team training initiatives can be challenging; however, such initiatives can help participants improve their understanding of the perspectives and communication goals of all involved personnel. Perioperative nurses and leaders should collaborate to promote speaking up for safety when warranted.
