Toivonen1 1Finnish Operating Room Nurses Association, Helsinki, Finland Background: Pinsetti magazine is one of the two leading professional magazines for nurses working in perioperative setting in Finland and it is a membership magazine of the Finnish Operating Room Nurses Association (FORNA). The magazine focuses on professional perioperative nursing and development of working conditions. Objectives: The purpose of this readership survey was to describe the readers’ views on Pinsetti magazine and its significance to operating room (OR) nurses. Research problems (RP) were: 1) How satisfied readers are with the magazine? 2) What is the significance of having a professional magazine from the perspective of OR nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted at spring 2019. The sample of this survey comprised members of FORNA who had an updated email address (N=1177) in membership database. The data collected using an online questionnaire, which consisted of structured as well as open-end questions. The data analysed with statistical methods (RP1) and thematic analysis (RP2). Results: 209 respondents took part in this survey (response rate 18 %). Most of the respondents reported being satisfied with the magazine’s overall impression (n=194, 93%) and with the fact that association has its own professional magazine (n=207, 99%). Respondents (n=81) described that Pinsetti-magazine is an important forum to distribute professional knowledge and to support professional development. Additionally, respondents thought that magazine enhances professional cohesion and strengthen one’s own professional identity. Conclusions: The results indicate that readers are very satisfied with Pinsetti magazine and it has a special meaning to OR nurses in Finland.

Dias1, M. Hübner1, F. Grass1, P. Ballabeni1, G. Rodrigues1, N. Demartines1 1University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland Background: Anxiety is common before surgery and known to negatively impact recovery from surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a preoperative nurse dialogue on patient’s anxiety, satisfaction and early postoperative outcomes. Method: This 1:1 randomized controlled trial compared patients undergoing major visceral surgery after a semi-structured preoperative nurse dialogue (an interventional group: IG) to a control group (CG) without nursing intervention prior to surgery. Anxiety was measured with the auto-evaluation scale STAI-T (Y-A form) pre- and postoperatively. The EORTC In- Patsat32 questionnaire was used to assess patient satisfaction at discharge. Further outcomes included post-operative pain and nausea (visual analogue scale: VAS 0-10), opiate consumption and length of stay (LOS). Results: Over a period of 6 months, 35 participants were randomized to either group with no drop-out or loss to followup (total n=70). The median score of preoperative anxiety was 40 (IQR 33-55) in the IG vs. 61 (IQR 52-68) in the CG (p<0.001). Postoperative anxiety levels were comparable 34 (IQR 25-46) vs. 32 (IQR 25-44) for IG and CG, respectively (p=0.579). The IG presented higher overall satisfaction (90±15 vs. 82.9±16, p=0.057) and a trend towards less pain at day 2 (1.3±1.7 vs. 2±1.9, p=0.077), while opiate consumption, PONV levels and LOS were comparable. Conclusion: A preoperative dialogue with a patient-centred approach helped in this cohort undergoing major visceral surgery to reduce preoperative anxiety and increase postoperative satisfaction.
