Stavanger, Norway | 12 - 15 May 2022 10th EORNA Congress Parallel Sessions 13 Decision-making: Safeguarding availability and function of surgical equipment; Considers the patient, surgeon, and available equipment when making decisions; Considers urgency and available resources when selecting and implementing options. Communication: Uses appropriate communication techniques; Identifies and reduces barriers to communication. Teamwork: Contributes to shared SA; Contributes to efficiency. Conclusions: This study shows that the NTS of OR nurses are more extensive than previously identified. Identification of a diversity of novel NTS contributes to the verbalisation of skills which formerly were considered tacit. This verbalisation may facilitate teaching of NTS, promoting accelerated development of NTS and further improve patient safety. OP03 Interprofessional simulation-based learning and its impact on developing perioperative nursing students’ professional identity H.K.A. Kaldheim1, M. Fossum1, J. Munday1,2,3, K.M.F. Johnsen1, Å. Slettebø1 1University of Agder, Department of Health and Nursing Science, Grimstad, Norway, 2Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane Queensland, Australia, 3Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Brisbane Queensland, Australia Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore how interprofessional simulation-based learning contributes to shaping perioperative nursing students’ professional identity. Methods: We used a qualitative and explorative design for this study. Between May and October 2019, we conducted six focus-group interviews with thirty-four perioperative nursing students from five educational institutions in Norway. Data analysis used a phenomenological hermeneutical method (Lindseth & Norberg, 2004). Results: To include students from different professionals’ educations can create challenges when organising interprofessional simulation-based learning to develop a greater understanding of their role function as a member of the interprofessional team. When organising interprofessional-simulation based learning for perioperative nursing students, there is a need for facilitators with competence in perioperative nursing to provide students with required information, and to focus on the perioperative role during debriefing. This is important to support their need for information related to their role, tasks, environment, and equipment and to be able assisting the perioperative nursing students with constructive feedback and knowledge during debriefing. The content of the simulation case needs to be relevant to perioperative nursing student’s future professional roles or tasks and to ensure this, educators from different educational professions should collaborate in organising interprofessional simulation-based learning, scenarios, helping participants to fulfil their roles and functions. Through interaction with others, perioperative nursing students can discover what is peculiar to one’s own profession and practice and what sets them apart from other professions. By evaluating themselves in this social interaction context, perioperative nursing students begin shaping their professional identity. Conclusions: It seems that interprofessional simulation-based learning creates experiences that can shape perioperative nursing student’s professional identity. It is important to organise interprofessional simulation-based learning to enable the students within the different educational professions to feel included, accepted and provide them with affiliation in the interprofessional team. OP04 Effectiveness of nurse-led preoperative assessment for anaesthesia: a prospective cohort study C. Diez Garcia1, G.S. Ignasi2,2, B.R. Ignasi2 1Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Area Quirurgica, Barcelona, Spain, 2Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Public Health, Barcelona, Spain Aims and objectives: To evaluate, in low-complexity surgical patients, the effectiveness of preoperative assessment carried out by nurses with anaesthetic training compared to that carried out by anaesthesiologists in terms of cancellations and inadequate surgical preparation. Background: Preoperative assessment of surgical patients is vital to identify patient’s risk factors and provide education. In some hospitals, a nurse with anaesthesia training evaluates, under supervision, patients who are candidates for lowcomplexity surgery. Design: Non-superiority prospective cohort study. Methods: One hundred and eighty-three patients were recruited who had undergone low-complexity surgery between
