Stavanger, Norway | 12 - 15 May 2022 10th EORNA Congress Symposia - Invited speakers 43 Guided Poster Walk predictors “facilitative effect of the presence of informed parents”. Adopting the distraction of children’s attention as a supportive method during this invasive procedure, “parental presence is desirable” (p = 0,043). In the sample of the nurses, their attitudes regarding the necessity to respect children’s rights predicted “the presence of parents, convinced of the necessity of venipuncture, is preferable” positively (p = 0,006). The non-pharmacological approach of play therapy predicted statistically significantly “parental presence is acceptable” (p = 0,032). Finally, “the presence of parents, convinced of the necessity of venipuncture, is preferable” correlated statistically significantly with the independent variable – disapproval of restraint when performing venipuncture (p = 0,009). Conclusions: In conclusion, parental presence during venipuncture procedure in paediatric patients is necessary. For that reason, medical and nursing staff should attend continuous training programs on family-centred care. P10 Investigation of the intensity of occasional parental anxiety before and after their children undergo a surgical operation I. Koutelekos1, S. Dragona2, C. Mpakoula-Tsoumaka3, E. Evaggelou1, A.

Kyritsi1 1University of West Attica, Nursing, Athens, Greece, 2Children’s Hospital “Hē Hagia Sophia”, Nursing, Athens, Greece, 3EKPA Children’s Hospital “Hē Hagia Sophia”, Medical, Athens, Greece Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the intensity of occasional parental anxiety before and after their children undergo surgery. Method: The sample of the study consisted of 300 parents of hospitalized children at the General Paediatric Hospital of Athens. The data were collected by filling in by the parents of the “State Trait Anxiety Inventory for adults” of Ch. Spielberger. The statistical t-test and ANOVA were applied. The significance level of 5% was considered statistically significant. Results: The study sample consisted of 300 parents, of whom 257 (85.7%) were mothers. The intensity of occasional anxiety pre-operative in 6% of them was within normal range, in 9.3% there was a mild tension, in 23% a severe tension and 61.7% experienced a very severe tension. After the surgery, the corresponding percentages were 60.7%, 27.7%, 8.3%, and 3.3% respectively. Parents whose children are hospitalized in Intensive Care Units for children and neonates are experiencing very severe anxiety before surgery with a statistically significant difference, p<0.001. All parents, regardless of the type of surgery, experiences very severe tension-like anxiety. Postoperatively, the same group also experiences a higher incidence of occasional anxiety, p<0.001 but of mild tension. With regard to child’s age, there were no statistically significant differences in anxiety intensity pre-operatively, p=0.083, but post-operatively parents whose child was under the age of 1-year experienced higher anxiety but milder p=0.003. Parents dealing with the household experience greater preoperative anxiety, p=0.01. Postoperatively, those who lived in a village experienced a higher mild, occasional anxiety, p=0.022. The preoperative and postoperative hospitalization time for those who were more than 8 days in the hospital increased the anxiety intensity p=0.030 and p<0.001 respectively. Conclusion: The intensity of occasional parental anxiety depends on clinical factors affecting the child, but also on various socio-demographic factors. P11 Quasi-experimental study: implementation of a patient information model to improve the quality of care in the pre-operative period M.d.M. Martí-Ejarque1, M. Ortega Sánchez2, S. Mas González3 1Hospital Universitari Sagrat Cor, Grupo Quirónsalud, Teaching, Learning and Research, Barcelona, Spain, 2Hospital Universitari Sagrat Cor, Grupo Quirónsalud, Operating Room, Barcelona, Spain, 3Hospital Quirónsalud del Vallès, Operating Room, Sabadell, Spain Introduction: The problems related to misunderstanding information about surgical preparation received by the patient could result in surgical cancellations. The evidence points to the need to improve the communication with the patient through methods that allow easy access to information for any patient profile (1-3). Objectives: The hypothesis was: The use of a message that reinforces the pre-operative information reduces the number of cancellations of surgical interventions due to lack of adequate preparation.
