    Area of Science:

    • Medical Error Analysis
    • Patient Safety Research
    • Surgical Procedure Accuracy

    Background:

    • Wrong-site surgery (WSS) represents a significant patient safety concern within healthcare.
    • Existing definitions of WSS lack comprehensive categorization of potential errors.
    • The concept of WSS spans both medical and nursing domains, with limited specific research in nursing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct a principle-based concept analysis of wrong-site surgery (WSS).
    • To identify areas for improving the definition and understanding of WSS.
    • To highlight the need for increased nursing-focused research on WSS prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • Employed Penrod and Hupcey's principle-based concept analysis method.
    • Analyzed WSS through epistemological, pragmatic, linguistic, and logical principles.
    • Reviewed existing literature and conceptual frameworks related to WSS.

    Main Results:

    • Wrong-site surgery is a universally recognized but imprecisely defined concept.
    • The current definition of WSS can be enhanced by including specific error types: wrong patient, wrong site, wrong level/part, wrong procedure, and wrong side.
    • There is a notable gap in research concerning nursing interventions, perceptions, and contributions to WSS prevention.

    Conclusions:

    • Refining the definition of WSS with comprehensive typologies is essential for clarity and prevention efforts.
    • Further research is critically needed to understand and enhance nursing's role in preventing wrong-site surgery.
    • Addressing WSS requires a multidisciplinary approach, with a specific focus on nursing contributions.
