Therefore, the necessary measures should be taken to protect surgical caregivers. This study was conducted to determine the status of compliance with the preventive standards against covid-19 transmission in the operating room. Methods:This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 183 surgical team members working in hospitals affiliated to Tabriz university of medical sciences in 2020. Participants were selected by stratified random sampling. The required data were collected by a researcher-made questionnaire according to the standard protocols of SAGES, EAES and AORN. In the first part of this questionnaire, the level of compliance with the standards of using personal protective equipment (PPE) was evaluated and in the second part, the level of compliance with the preventive strategies in the operating room was evaluated in three phases of Pre, Intra and Post-operative. The data was analyzed using SPSS16. Results:preventive standards observance against COVID-19 was in moderate (55.3 ± 10.5) level and The level of compliance with the standards of using PPE by the surgical team was favorable (61.8 ± 8.1). There was a statistically significant relationship between the level of compliance with the standards of using PPE and the type of specialty (P = 0.004). Conclusion:According to the results, the level of compliance with the principles of standards in applying protective measures against covid-19 was not favorable, so the operating room personnel is exposed to COVID-19 and the necessary measures and improvements should be considered in compliance with standards in operating room.
