2. Method
The analysis of factors affecting work efficiency in complex working
environments and activities in such environments does not give a
complete picture of the problem itself. An integrated and synergistic
approach, taking into consideration a number of factors, leads to a more
complete analysis of the problem. This approach is applied during the
research presented in this paper.
For the purpose of ranking the key factors for activity assessment in
surgical operating rooms, it is necessary to determine the most
important factors and classify them into appropriate groups. Based on
the analysis of the existing literature and previous analyses of
different impacts of a working environment,35,36
fifteen key factors are identified, and grouped into three major
categories: surgeons’ capabilities, operating room properties, and
non-technical skills (Table 1).
