Valencia, Spain | 16 - 18 May 2024 11th EORNA Congress Priority Sessions 3 Priority Sessions 152 Skills Management for New Nurses in the OR: When MYORCO Becomes An Essential Tool! Christine Willems1 1Haute Ecole Léonard de Vinci, Perioperative care, Bruxelles, Belgium Background: In Europe, the education of nurses in perioperative care is diverse and, in some countries, not mandatory to work in the OR. Objectives: I will present MYORCO tool as a possibility to facilitate the integration of new nurses in the staff. Methods: MYORCO is a European Erasmus Partnership project. The aim of our project was to create a website with online tools for the skills management of new OR nurses and students. It was created, tested and experimented in 5 European countries: Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Greece, France and Belgium. It was developed in English and translated in French, Swedish, Finish, Czech and Greek languages. Results: MYORCO was developed around the basic practices in the OR for the new OR nurses and students. It offers a wide range of training videos. These short videos show the correct and safe ergonomics of instrumentation and explain the use of some basic equipment the OR nurses regularly use during surgical procedures. A second part is the instruments library with around 150 pictures of instruments presented with their context of use. The results are visual and educational tools that can be used easily in the field of training and evaluation. This tool is very useful for OR head nurses to plan and manage the competencies of their team, and for new nurses to self-assess their progress in acquiring the required competencies. Conclusion: I will present a power point on the MYORCO tool with print screens. It will give a visual idea of the benefit of using these tools to facilitate the self-learning of the students and the new nurses in the OR. 258 Is the WHO Surgical Safety Check List effective? A Meta-analysis. Fabio Ferraiuolo1, Angelo Dante1, Vittorio Masotta1, Alessia Marcotullio1, Luca Bertocchi1, Cristina Petrucci1, Loreto Lancia1 1University of L’Aquila, Department of Health, Life, and Environmental Sciences, L’Aquila, Italy Background: Every year, millions of individuals die within 30 days following surgical procedures and nearly one-fifth of individuals undergoing surgical procedures experience complications. The WHO Safety Surgery Checklist (SSCL) appears to have the potential to enhance surgical safety and quality across all surgical settings. However, there is still limited understanding of the overall impact of implementing the SSCL on clinical and organizational outcomes. Objectives: To value the impact of SSCL on clinical and organization outcomes. Methods: An extensive systematic review and meta-analyses were conducted following the relevant criteria outlined in the ‘Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions’. In order to ensure a high level of reliability of study results, the literature search, study inclusion, and data extraction processes were independently conducted by two researchers, and any evaluation conflicts were resolved by a third researcher. Results: A total of 2,776 records were retrieved, and after removing duplicates, 1,571 were assessed for eligibility. Sixty-five manuscripts met the criteria for inclusion, and ultimately, 35 studies were included in the review. Of these, 16 studies were suitable for meta-analysis. The meta-analytic synthesis was feasible for ‘mortality within 30 days’ as well as sixteen other surgical complications. Findings highlighted the protective role of SSCL in reducing mortality rates, instances of deep vein thrombosis, surgical site infections, and unplanned returns to the operating room. Nevertheless, while these results are promising, further confirmation is required for positive outcomes on other outcomes. An exploration of the reasons for heterogeneity among the included studies was also conducted and presented. Conclusion: This systematic review has confirmed the importance of the SSCL in ensuring patients’ safety and informs healthcare managers about the rationale for implementing organizational review aimed at improving SSCL implementation.
