AB  - BACKGROUND: In recent decades, the prominence of medical errors (MEs) and adverse 
      events (AEs) is fueled by several studies performed across the world. 
      Correspondingly, a high prevalence of medical errors and adverse events have been 
      reported. Operating room nurses (ORNs) were indispensable members of the 
      operating process, and any kind of MEs or AEs from ORNs may cause serious results 
      and even death to the patients. However, to the best of our knowledge, the 
      prevalence and associated factors of MEs and AEs were never reported among ORNs 
      in China, which is the largest country in population and health services quantity 
      in the world. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study, which was conducted among 
      ORNs in China, and 787 valid questionnaires were analyzed in this study. MEs, 
      AEs, gender, age, married status, religious belief, academic degree, manager or 
      not, working years, working hours/week, physical disease, and mental health were 
      evaluated in this study. MEs were evaluated by eight questions about the 
      occurrence of eight kinds of MEs for the ORNs. For ORNs with MEs, further 
      questions about clinical harm to the patients were interviewed, which analyzed 
      AEs. Kessler 10 was used to evaluate the ORNs' mental health. Logistic regression 
      was conducted to examine the factors associated with MEs and AEs. RESULTS: The 
      prevalence of MEs and AEs was 27.7 and 13.9% among ORNs, respectively. The most 
      frequent MEs that occurred among ORNs were from surgical instruments (9.1%), 
      disinfection (9.0%), equipment and consumables (8.9%), and specimen management 
      (7.8%). MEs were positively associated with lower working years, poor mental 
      health, and physical disease. The physical disease was positively associated with 
      AEs. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of perceived MEs and AEs was at a higher level 
      than other kinds of nurses. Fresh ORNs with physical and mental health problems 
      were the risk population for MEs, and ORNs with physical disease were at a higher 
      risk for AEs. All the findings implied that MEs and AEs were an important issue 
      for ORNs, and ORNs with physical and mental health problems should be paid 
      attention to control MEs and AEs.
