Valencia, Spain | 16 - 18 May 2024 11th EORNA Congress ePoster Guided View 35 Patients’ vital signs were recorded, and their anxiety levels were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results: The mean age of the patients was 53.16±15.51 years and 56.72% were women, 75.43% of transfers were performed during the day and 64.32% of patients were transferred to an in-patient ward. Factors affecting transfer anxiety were gender, employment status, timing, and purpose of transfer (p<0.05). Blood pressures and heart rates tended to increase during transfer and decrease again after transfer, while oxygen saturation decreased during transfer (p=0.035) and increased again after transfer (p<0.001). State anxiety levels were moderate before transfer and decreased to mild level after transfer (p<0.001). Conclusion: The transfer process can be a cause for concern for intensive care patients. Transfer process increased anxiety and caused changes in the vital signs of intensive care patients. Individual and transfer-related factors may influence transfer anxiety. Patients should be monitored for transfer anxiety and nursing interventions to reduce anxiety should be planned. 342 Preventing pressure injuries in patients undergoing surgery A qualitative interview study of perioperative nurses’ experiences of preventing pressure injuries in the operating department Heidi Pöykkö1, Eva Torbjörnsson1 1Karolinska institutet, Department of Clinical science and Education, Sodersjukhuset, Stockholm Background: Every year 110 000 patients suffer from an injury due to care. Eight % of these consist of pressure injuries. The most common reason is surgery or other treatments. Many factors contribute to the occurrence of intraoperative pressure injuries. Some are patient specific while others are caused by the surgical surrounding such as positioning of the patient. One of the perioperative nurse’s responsibilities is to safeguard the patient, which also includes preventing intraoperative pressure injuries. Objectives: The aim was to study the perioperative nurses’ experience of preventing intraoperative pressure ulcers. Methods: Seven interviews were performed and analysed with content analysis as described by Graneheim & Lundman. Results: The analysis resulted in three categories. Intraoperative care show that nurses have knowledge of pressure injury risks and base their preventing measures on this knowledge and their clinical judgement of the patient. Organisational factors affecting the work show that perioperative nurses feel responsible for the preventing work and that the organisation has a responsibility to enable qualitative work. Thoughts about communication and competence development show that nurses need feedback and training to develop their preventive skills in the department. Conclusion: The perioperative nurse has knowledge of factors contributing to the occurrence of intraoperative pressure injuries. Using this knowledge, their experience and patient information, they make a clinical judgement of the specific patient’s risk of developing pressure injuries. The clinical judgement is then the base for the preventing care actions. Lack of feedback hinders perioperative nurses from developing their preventive care further. 356 Evaluation of psychological well-being and perioperative nursing care perception in patients under surgery Omer Karatas1, İkbal Çavdar2 1Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Surgical Diseases Nursing Program, Istanbul, 2Istanbul Atlas University Background: Psychological well-being is an important component of postoperative recovery that affects an individual’s functioning and overall health. Many surgical patients’ negative experiences impair psychological health and general well-being. Objectives: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the psychological well-being and perception of perioperative nursing care in patients under surgical intervention. Methods: The population of the study consisted of patients under surgical intervention at Training and Research Hospital between October 2020 and March 2021. The sample of the study consisted of 285 patients from the whole universe who met the inclusion criteria of the study and agreed to participate in the study. Personal Information Form, Psychological Well-Being Scale (PIOS) and Quality Perioperative Nursing Care Scale (KPHBS) were used to collect data. Results: Preoperative (AS) Psychological Well-Being Scale mean score was 43.68±5.97, postoperative (AS) Psychological
