Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive tests (mean, percentage) and analytical tests (chi square) by Stata software.Results: According to the results, there was no significant difference between control and case groups after theimplementation of surgical safety checklist in morbidity and mortality of operated patients (P˃0.05).Conclusion: The effectiveness of an instrument depends on a set of conditions that using method and the attitude ofthe staff towards it is very determinative, Therefore, it seems that completing the surgical safety checklist merely as one of the stages of the surgical process in operating room cannot improve the situation and reduce the morbidity and mortality of the operated patients.
