Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore distractions in the surgical process and their implications on healthcare professionals working in the operating room. Methods: The research employed a descriptive and qualitative approach and was conducted at a Training and Research Hospital in the Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey. The sample comprised 30 participants from the surgical team, including surgeons, nurses, and anesthesia teams. Data collection involved conducting in-depth interviews with participants, utilizing open-ended questions, and recording the responses with a voice recorder. The analysis was carried out through thematic and content analysis methods, following the guidelines of the COREQ 32 directive. Results: The findings of the study unveiled four major themes related to distractions in the operating room: “distractions in the operating room,” “effects of distractions,” “effects on the social lives of employees,” and “requests and suggestions for solutions.” Participants identified various distractions, such as unnecessary staff movements, off-case conversations, a noisy environment, equipment shortages, and malfunctions, as well as physical issues within the operating environment. Furthermore, they cited the impact of these distractions on their psychological state, increased risk of errors, and decreased concentration among healthcare professionals. The study conclusively demonstrated that distractions significantly influence the surgical team, the overall surgical process, and ultimately, patient safety. To address these challenges, participants proposed valuable recommendations, including the effective organization of the surgical process, the necessity for qualified personnel, and the resolution of equipment and physical environment issues. Conclusion: This research provides valuable insights into the perceptions and experiences of the surgical team concerning distractions during surgery. Moreover, it underscores the utmost importance of addressing these distractions to enhance patient safety and optimize surgical outcomes. 442 Psychological Resilience and Fear of Covid-19 Among Surgical Nurses: ADescriptive CrossSectional Study Hacire Devran Ecer1, Meryem YAVUZ van GIERSBERGEN2 1Dicle University, Atatürk Health Services Vocational School department of medical services and techniques / anesthesia program, Diyarbakır, Turkey, 2Ege Üniversitesi, Hemşirelik Fakültesi Cerrahi Hastalıkları Hemşireliği Anabilim Dalı, izmir, Turkey Background: Identifying the psychosocial challenges that surgical nurses face in the pandemic due to fear of Covid-19 can significantly improve nurses’ resilience, patient safety and quality of care. Objectives: Our aim is to investigate the effect of psychological resilience on fear of Covid-19 in surgical nurses. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between March 2021 and July 2021. A total of 115 nurses from the surgical clinics of the Training and Research Hospital (45) and the University Hospital (120) in Diyarbakır province participated in the study. Data was collected via “Google Forms”. Sociodemographic Information Form, Covid-19 Fear Scale (Ahorsu et al., 2020), and Adult Resilience Scale (Friborg et al., 2003) were included. The second scale consists of six sub-dimensions and 33 items: “Self-Perception, Future Perception, Structural Style, Social Competence, Family Cohesion and Social Resources”. Results: Participants living separately from normal family members scored higher on the Covid-19 Fear Scale (mean = 19.41) than those living with family (mean = 15.88) and those living alone (mean = 10.50) (p =0.016 <0.05). In addition, individuals living alone had lower scores in the Family Cohesion subdimension (mean=15.25) than those living with their family (mean=19.43). A weak, positive correlation was observed between age and fear of Covid-19 (p=0.048 <0.05). There was also a weak, negative relationship between fear of Covid-19 and the Perception of the Future sub-dimension score on the Adult Resilience Scale. Conclusion: The findings show that individuals living separately from their normal family members during the Covid-19
