Valencia, Spain | 16 - 18 May 2024 11th EORNA Congress ePosters 65 Methods: A pre-survey is distributed to a sample of 36 Toronto Western Hospital (TWH) perioperative nurses. This survey provided data regarding use of the Virtual Library in relation to nursing expertise. Additionally, satisfaction of the current resource is explored. Data on the ten most performed neurosurgery and spine procedures in 2019-2020 is obtained to determine surgeries to be highlighted with consultation of staff surgeons and expert nurses. Results: An updated Virtual Library benefits novice nurses by providing knowledge through a resource which is easily accessed and maintained. Novice and advanced-beginner nurses can better prepare themselves and coalesce online with in-person learning. Additionally, the platform serves as a resource for expert perioperative nurses who may find themselves “off-service,” seeking reorientation to less familiar areas of knowledge. Conclusion: The OR Virtual Library is accessible to any TWH perioperative nurse via SharePoint. Perioperative nurses are encouraged to participate in the development of the resource. Current efforts are made to expand the resource to cover additional neurosurgery/spine procedures as well as procedures of other services. The updated Virtual Library is utilized to gain better understanding of surgical procedures – ultimately, contributing to an environment of safety and improved patient outcomes. 357 EVALUATION OF PATIENTS QUALITY OF LIFE BEFORE AND AFTERBARIATRIC SURGERY Tuğba Aygun1, Ayfer Özbaş2 3 1İstanbul Universty Cerrahpaşa, Surgical, İstanbul, Turkey, 2Demiroğlu Bilim university Florence Nightingale Hastanesi Hemşirelik Yüksekokulu, Nurse, İstanbul, Turkey, 3Demiroğlu Bilim University Florence Nightingale Hastanesi Hemşirelik Yüksekokulu, Nurse, İstanbul, Turkey Background: Bariatric surgery results in significant weight loss in the majority of patients. the purpose in obesity surgery is to free the patient from their excess weight in a healthy way and increase their quality of life in all areas.

The study was completed with 35 patients who agreed to participate in the study. Necessary permissions were obtained from the ethical committee and the institution prior to the research. The data were collected using the Patient Identification Form and the Moorehead Ardelt Quality of Life Scale II-TR, prepared by the researcher by reviewing the literature, and evaluated with appropriate statistical methods. Results: As a result of the research, it was determined that an average increase of 1.81±1.04 points was observed in the postoperative quality of life score of the patients compared to the pre-surgery (p=0.001; p<0.01). A mean decrease of 12.40±5.70 kg/m2 after surgery compared to BMI, which is an important parameter in obesity, was found to be statistically significant (p=0.001; p<0.01 Conclusion with weight loss, decrease in BMI values, increase in mobility, increase in physical activities, independence in daily life and increase in quality of life were observed.
