  1. Domain Score in SAQ at two different time points reported in the different domains, before (baseline) and after (post-intervention) a change in the use of WHO checklist. All domains on a scale 0–100, presented as mean value where 0 = Disagree strongly, 100 = Agree Strongly. P-values are a comparison between doctors and nurses perception of different domains. Doctors = surgeons and anesthesiologist. Nurses = scrub nurses, nurse anaesthetists, nurse assistants
