Injury types, causes and consequences vary among populations and among countries, while children’s risk of injury in the home depends on interactions between parent/caregiver, child and the home environment. The aim of this study was to examine parents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding home-related accidents among children. Method: This cross-sectional study, which was conducted in two paediatric public hospitals in Athens, General Children’s Hospital of Athens, Greece. Included 107 participants, parents of children aged 2-6 years old, all members of the nursing and medical staff of the above-mentioned hospitals. For the purpose of the present study, we used a specific self-completed questionnaire, including sociodemographic characteristics of participants and parental attitudes and knowledge towards home accidents among children. Analyses were undertaken using SPSS Statistics, version 23.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL). The chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test were used to perform independency tests. The statistical significance level was set at 0.05. Results: 37.4% of the parents mentioned that their children had experienced at some time an accident in the home. Father’s age (P=0,035), working units (P=0,020) and short sleep duration in childhood (P=0,036) were found to play very important roles in determining the parents’ attitudes to preventive measures of home accidents in children. The risk of an unintentional childhood injury at home is significantly higher among those of older mothers, aged 37 or over (P=0,045). Nurses’ have significantly higher rates of home accidents (P=0,029). Conclusions: Child domestic accident prevention is necessary. This requires designing and implementing educational and intervention programs in order to create safe home environments for children. eP08 Patients’ experiences of day surgery and recovery - considerations for practice C.W. Thoen1,2, M. Sæle3 1Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Department of Health and Caring Sciences, Bergen, Norway, 2Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, Norway, 3Haraldsplass Diaconal Hospital, Bergen, Norway Background: Day surgery represents an increasing part of elective surgery and embraces an extensive number of procedures. This challenge the traditional role of patients, who are no longer observed and cared for by health care professionals but must recover at home with the help of family and friends. Objectives: The purpose of this master project was to explore how do adult patients undergoing day surgery experience the processes of treatment and recovery. Aims: To learn how processes of day surgery practice can be improved to meet patient needs and increase patient satisfaction. Methods: Eight studies were included in this metasynthesis, using Noblit and Hare’s (1988) meta-ethnography approach. Results: The synthesis revealed four third-order constructs; (1) requests for tailored information, (2) challenges related to managing bodily signs at home, (3) being dependent on continuous professional and personal support and (4) requests for individual adaptation of the treatment process. Conclusion: Patients experience that the standardization of day surgery practice makes them feel secure; however, they ask for individualized adaptation of the treatment process. Patients highlight the importance of being prepared for what to expect, and the need to have support from family and friends while recovering at home. They also stress the significance of the consistent and ongoing involvement of health care professionals following discharge. Findings indicate a focus on information provision and preparation based on the health professionals’ perception of patient needs, rather than the actual requirements of patients. The findings of this study may contribute towards enhancing quality of care and improving patients’ experiences of day surgery and recovery.
