Gelber1 1Rambam Health Care Campus, Operating Room, Pre-Anesthesia Clinic, Haifa, Israel When we met with the corona virus our lives changed completely. Social events, family life, conversations, work routines and especially the education of our students have completely changed. Video conferencing soon became the primary means of communication for work, study and social life. From standing in front of a classroom, seeing our students, lecturing and instructing them on work techniques, we had to deal with network problems, opening zoom groups, while the students sat at home in front of the computer without being able to move for long hours, and we could only see their faces too close or black squares. People started complaining about special fatigue “zoom fatigue” at the end of whole days of video conferencing and zoom lectures. Symptoms: Feeling tired between calls and in the end of the workday than usual, not focused on the meeting or lecture, overeating, feeling sweaty during calls, eye irritation that is not pre-existing, regular headaches, constant exhaustion, anxiety of having to turn on your camera. Reasons: We’re too close for comfort, hate watching ourselves, trapped in a chair, can’t see body language, software frustrations, home at work syndrome, eye strain, audio and video don’t always match up. Ways to Overcoming Zoom fatigue: Zoom out of the full-screen option, create a comfortable space between yourself and the masses by use external keyboard / camera, use the “hide self-view”, turning video off, reduce multitasking during calls, use mini breaks, choose other meeting options, healthy sleep routines, avoid eye strain. Zoom fatigue worse for women, over 13.8% of women feel “very” to “extremely” fatigued after video conference calls, compared to 5.5% of men. Conclusion: Zoom fatigue is real, and in order to prevent or reduce it, we must be aware of the signs, causes and how it can be overcome. RT08 Experiences with Instagram as a recruitment tool A. Melaas1, K. Hjemgaard1 1Oslo Universitetssykehus HF, Rikshospitalet, Operasjonsavdelingen, Operasjon 3, AKU, Oslo, Norway Background: We were been by board member of NSFLOS Åse- Lill Ellingsæter before NORNA Congress which was cancelled, to talk about our Instagram account with the name @operasjonssykepleierne. Then we were asked by Gunilla Maria Fredheim if we could send an application to EORNA 2021 instead, and now to EORNA 2022 by Cathrine Heen. Background for using social media, was the great lack of Operating Room Nurses at the hospital and elsewhere in the country, and the desire for recruitment from management and clinic. Research: To be able to share photos / videos from Oslo University Hospital, one must adhere to different guidelines and privacy, both in relation to patients and staff. In addition, various permits were obtained from management, and a collaboration with the communications department was initiated before the account was opened. Conclusions: The Instagram account @operasjonssykepleierne has received some attention, and many have contacted us to find out more about the operations nurse profession and asked us how we work. Showing off and sharing our everyday life in the green with our followers on Instagram is both fun, challenging and requires daily follow-up. In this post, we will cover some of the process of getting started, and how we use our Instagram account to make visible the operations nurse profession. Keywords: Recruitment, social media, Instagram, Operating Room Nurses, @operasjonssykepleirne.
