Table 5 Comparison of communication interruption and handover efficiency during the handover of surgical instruments between two groups

Group	Communication-related interruptions (times)	Average interruption duration (seconds)	Total number of instrument handovers (times)	Effective handover rate (%)	Average handover time (seconds)
Observation group (n = 60)	0.3 ± 0.5	15.3 ± 5.2	85.6 ± 12.4	99.1 ± 0.9	1.5 ± 0.3
Control group (n = 60)	1.1 ± 0.8	28.7 ± 10.4	112.3 ± 18.9	95.2 ± 2.3	2.8 ± 0.6
t value	5.123	6.225	9.458	12.341	15.327
P value	< 0.001	< 0.001	< 0.001	< 0.001	< 0.001
