11th EORNA Congress Valencia, Spain | 16 - 18 May 2024 ePoster Guided View 40 464 The role of nursing leadership in the operating room as a guarantor of patient safety María Herrero-Teijón1, Lucía Díaz-Montero2 1Complejo Asistencial Universitario de Salamanca - SACYL, 2Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valladolid - SACYL Background: The nursing profession has become integral to the healthcare system, evolving due to qualities such as leadership, character, commitment, compassion, and communication skills. Leadership is crucial in clinical practice, especially in complex specialties, as seen in surgical settings where nurses lead to achieve optimal outcomes and ensure safety. The operating room poses significant challenges, competent training and the use of tools like checklists, hand hygiene, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Focus is on understanding the specific leadership role nurses play in guaranteeing patient safety during surgical procedures. Objectives: Examine the role that nursing leadership in the surgical setting plays in patient safety. Methods: A bibliographic review was conducted on how nursing leadership influences patient safety in the operating room during the month of December 2023. Several databases were used, with MeSH search terms. Original articles published in the last 10 years in Spanish or English and that dealt with perioperative nursing leadership and patient safety were included. References that did not answer the question, duplicate articles and articles in another language were excluded. Results: The review identified 129 records, and after the selection process, 12 relevant articles were included. Three key points emerged from the reviewed literature. The first emphasized safety measures in the operating room, with significant impacts on patient health and safety, particularly through checklists, hand hygiene, and preventing surgical wound infections. The second highlighted the importance of skills in nursing leadership and its effects on patient safety. The third addressed communication and multidisciplinary work difficulties affecting nursing leadership and patient safety. Conclusion: Nursing leadership and patient safety converge in the operating room, aiming to provide patients with a sense of security and confidence in the successful resolution of their interventions. The integration of praxis, protocols, experience, and collaboration ensures the best possible outcomes, regardless of the procedure’s complexity. 361 Determining the knowledge level of nurses with regard to medical device-related pressure injuries and the affecting factors Kezban Yayman1, Gulten Sucu Dağ2 2 1Dr. Burhan Nalbantoglu State Hospital, Nicosia, North Cyrus, Nursing, North Cyprus via Mersin 10, Turkey, 2Eastern Mediterranean University, Nursing, North Cyprus via Mersin 10, Turkey Background: It is important to determine the factors affecting the knowledge level of nurses in the care and prevention of pressure sores caused by medical devices. Objectives: The purpose of this research was to determine the knowledge level of nurses’ with regard to medical device-related pressure injuries and the affecting factors. Methods: The research was conducted in a cross-sectional-descriptive design. In a cross-sectional descriptive design, the sample of the research consisted of 252 nurses. Data were collected by face-to-face and online data collection method with the Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries (MDRPI) Knowledge Questionnaire. Results: The average age of the nurses participating in the research was 34.61±7.44, the average number of years working in the profession was 11.72±7.49, 79.4% were women, 54.0% were single, and 68.7% had a bachelor’s degree, 48.4% worked in the intensive care unit. The average rate of the correct response about MDRPI Knowledge Questionnaire was 67,87% (20,11±3,83). The highest percentage of correct responses was on the “prevention and treatment” dimension rated 67.87% (10.86±2.43). The lowest percentage of correct responses was on the “staging” dimension rated 31,87 % (,956±,715). It was determined that age (p= .001), gender (p=. 025) and working shift in the clinic (p=. 006) affected the total score average of MDRPI Knowledge level. In addition, a moderate, positive relationship was determined between the level of knowledge about medical device-related pressure injuries and age (rrho:,632-p:,000). However, a low-level negative relationship was determined between the level of knowledge “staging” dimension and “working experience as a nurse (years) (rrho:- ,139-p:,005) and weekly working time (hours) “ (rrho:-,140-p:,005). Conclusion: As a result, it is recommended that the subject of medical device-related pressure injuries should be given more attention in the in-service training planned to be given to nurses.
