Context: The operating room is a unique environment in which learning happens through interactions with others and facing complex situations. The results of studies show that non-technical skills play a key role in successful technical performance in critical situations. Therefore, the identification and assessment of them are very valuable. This review study was performed to identify and critique non-technical skill assessment tools for surgical team members. Results: This literature review yielded 13 assessment tools of non-technical skills in the operating room, including ANTS, AS-NTS, N-ANTS, ANTS-AP for the anesthesia team, OTAS, Oxford NOTEHS, Oxford NOTECHS II, and Revised NOTECHS for the surgical team, SPINTS for scrub nurses, and OSANTS, NOTSS, SDM-RS, and SLI for surgeons. Conclusions: Since the development of the tools depends entirely on the context and task analysis of any member of the surgical team, all countries must customize the available tools and develop similar tools for other members of surgical teams.
