Standardised evaluation questionnaire
We used a short standardised
evaluation questionnaire to evaluate team members’ experiences with
perioperative briefing and debriefing. All members of the eight surgical
teams received this questionnaire together with the TCI. Questions were
presented as statements and covered the topics ‘cooperation within the
surgical team’ and ‘work efficiency’. We used a 5-point Likert scale
ranging from 1 (‘disagree strongly’) to 5 (‘agree strongly’) with the
statements. Participants were also given the opportunity to report the
perceived strengths and limitations of briefing and
debriefing.16
