11th EORNA Congress Valencia, Spain | 16 - 18 May 2024 ePosters 68 disease-related, hospital-related, and pandemic-related. The main theme of thoughts consists of two sub-themes: related to the pandemic and related to the disease.The main theme of experiences consists of four subthemes: vaccination, receiving social support, experiences with nurses and pandemic measures. Finally, it was found that patients were afraid of surgery, but wanted surgery because they were afraid their disease would get worse and they could not stand the severe pain associated with the disease. It was also found that patients wanted to be discharged early. While some of the patients want to be alone because they are afraid of Covid-19, some of the patients have confidence in the vaccine and the precautions taken; it was found that some of them did not trust and communicate positively with nurses during the pandemic period. It was observed that patients have fear and anxiety about undergoing surgery under pandemic conditions; it is recommended that nurses inform patients about pandemic diseases. 375 A Cross- Sectional Study of the occurrence of anxiety disorder and depressive symptoms among perioperative healthcare professionals during Covid pandemic in a public hospital in Greece Angeliki Banousi1 1General Hospital of Athens, KAT Background: The sudden onset of the virus and the high transmissibility of COVID-19 disease has created a rapidly evolving global health crisis, which clearly has an impact on the mental sphere on an individual and collective level. Objectives: To discuss how the pandemic affected the physical and mental health of healthcare professionals. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional and survey design. Data collection was achieved using the Connor Davidson Resilience Scale [CD- RISC]), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Fear of Coronavirus – 19 Scale (FCV-19S) In addition, questions were asked about the general working conditions of the respondents as well as about their working and personal life and situation during the pandemic. Results: Between May 2020 and September 2023 117 Health Professional’s, participated, (44.44%) were men and (55.56%) were women in the field of health and specifically of a public hospital staffing the departments that had direct contact with admissions and hospitalization of Covid-19 cases. The results of the research through the Likert scale showed that health professionals do not feel safe with the personal equipment provided by the hospital at a rate of 64.1% and at the same time 63.25% feel fear for life, during their work. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals are the ones who have the anxiety of having to deal with COVID-19 immediately. Awareness of their needs and intervention to help will have a huge impact on their mental health. Knowledge of the ways in which the pandemic is experienced can help us plan, organize, implement, and evaluate interventions to support workers in this critical area. 376 Synovial fluid calprotectin: A reliable biomarker in the diagnosis of periprosthetic infections Angeliki Banousi1 1General Hospital of Athens, KAT Background: Periprosthetic infections (PJI) are the most common complication in hip and knee surgical reconstruction. The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a challenge in clinical practice, and synovial fluid analysis is a useful diagnostic tool. Calprotectin is an inflammatory biomarker and is widely used in the evaluation of chronic inflammatory diseases. However, little is known about its role in periprosthetic infections (PJI). Calprotectin has recently been shown to be a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of periprosthetic infections (PJI) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the reliability of Calprotectin in the diagnosis of periprosthetic infection. Methods: The methodology included research studies and referred to the value of Calprotectin as a diagnostic aid in gauging the risk of infection in patients with suspected periprosthetic joint infection. Results: The most important finding of this study is that Calprotectin has excellent diagnostic value in cases with other possible causes of inflammation that may mimic infection. Conclusion: The present study suggests that synovial calprotectin immunoassay test has a high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of PJI. Moreover, it is easily applied, quick and valuable in clinical practice.
