The aim of the research that we report here was to empirically assess the cohesiveness of the multidisciplinary operating theatre (OT) team. ⋯ The OT environment need not be as cohesive as previously assumed--a finding that carries implications for the effectiveness of team training interventions. Further research is needed in order to fully comprehend the dynamics of the OT as a working environment and, most importantly, their relation to patient safety.
