Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of surgical smoke exposure on the anxiety, depression and stress levels of operating room nurses in different countries. Methods: The study descriptive design. It will be collected from nurses who are members of the operating room nurses association in Turkey, Israel, Croatia and Italy by using google form. Data will be collected using the Personal Information Form, Survey of Surgical Smoke Prevention Practices and Measures in Operating Rooms, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS 21). The data collection process continues. Results: As the data collection process continues, there are no results yet. For this reason results will be communicated later Conclusion: As the data collection process continues, there are no conclusion yet. For this reason conclusion will be communicated later 314 Cesarean Drape Abdurrahman Aktürk1, Serap Sayar2, Demet Bal3 1Karaman Training and Research Hospital, Operating Room, Karaman, 2KTO Karatay University, School of Health Sciences, Nursing, Konya, 3Karadeniz Teknik University, Nursing, Trabzon Background: Currently, the known cesarean drapes completely cover the patient, leading to an increase in the patient’s body temperature. Moreover, during the removal of the baby, there is a possibility of overflow of accumulated fluids in the part that surrounds the surgical area, which may cause the operating room staff to come into contact with the fluids. Objectives: In this context, aiming to address and resolve all these issues due to reasons such as an increased risk of surgical site infection and the development of secondary complications, the aim is to develop a cesarean drape. Methods: The designed cesarean drape; surrounds only the abdominal area where the surgical procedure will take place. It also features leak-proof lateral fluid collection reservoirs,a leak-proof and aspiratable main fluid collection reservoir, and an aspirator connection point to aspirate the accumulated fluid in the main fluid collection reservoir. The lateral and main fluid collection reservoirs, responsible for collecting and draining the fluid, are intended to be made of transparent nylon material. The conical design of the main fluid collection reservoir ensures that the collected fluid flows smoothly from the lateral fluid collection reservoirs towards the main fluid collection reservoir and ultimately towards the aspirator connection point. Results: Thanks to the simultaneous drainage of the accumulated fluid in the discussed cesarean drape, the prevention of fluid build-up will reduce the risk of exposure for the operating room personnel, ensuring a safer surgical environment. The invention has been applied for a TURK PATENT (Application no: 2022/016234). Conclusion: In conclusion, it can help maintain the cleanliness of the surgical area throughout the cesarean, preventing contamination and surgical site infections. Additionally, it can ensure the thermal comfort of the patient during the surgical procedure. Furthermore, with its features that do not restrict surgical interventions and allow the detection of any opening or bleeding that may occur during cesarean surgery, the design is considered innovative.
