Barriers to compliance with the Surgical Safety Checklist.

NO NEED TO FOLLOW SSC	The nurse already confirms the required details of the patient before coming to the operation theatre.
	There is no need to read aloud components of the surgical safety checklist as we are already performing it.
	It doesn't help to improve morbidity or mortality.
LACK OF FEASIBILITY	Its time consuming and can't be followed in a chaotic OT environment.
	It can't be followed in an emergency as it causes a delay in surgical intervention.
	It increases the workload of OT staff.
	Sign-out can't be followed as surgeons have to take a rest before the subsequent surgery.
	It causes interruption to workflow during surgery.
	Members of the multidisciplinary team are at different locations during surgery, so it's not feasible to follow it.
LACK OF AWARENESS AND TRAINING	The staff is not aware and not trained to follow it.
LACK OF MOTIVATION	We are not provided with any incentive to follow it.
	No one initiates the process.
	I have not been assigned to follow it.
