Therefore, the purpose of our study was to investigate the attitude and perception of operating room staff toward teamwork and associated factors.

Also, there was no significant relationship between the variables of age, sex, education level, and type of operating room, dominant shift, role, work experience and the amount of monthly activity hours to perception teamwork. But the attitude towards teamwork was a predictor variable for the perception of teamwork in operating room.
Conclusion: The present study showed a positive attitude towards teamwork among operating room personnel, but none of the demographic variables had any effect on the nurses' perception and attitude towards teamwork.
