Valencia, Spain | 16 - 18 May 2024 11th EORNA Congress ePosters 89 474 Script concordance test as a web-based training tool for perioperative postgraduate nursing students Lara Daniela Matos Cunha1 2, Márcia Pestana-Santos2 3, Lurdes Lomba2 3, Margarida Reis Santos1 4 1Abel Salazar Biomedical Sciences Institute - University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, 2UICISA: E - Unidade de Investigação em Ciências da Saúde: Enfermagem, Coimbra, Portugal, 3ESEnfC - Nursing School of Coimbra - Polo B, Coimbra, Portugal, 4Higher School of Nursing of Porto, Porto, Portugal Background: The virtual training strategy based on the script concordance test is an emerging tool for the assessment of clinical reasoning under uncertain circumstances. Objectives: To explore the perceived usability of SCT as a digital educational strategy among perioperative postgraduate nursing students. Methods: The online training based on script concordance is a tool that consists of presenting clinical cases observed in clinical practice, where data are either complex and/or incomplete, and proposes hypothetical approaches to intervene. Methodology: Qualitative descriptive. Data collection by e-questionnaire. Results: Of the 32 respondents, 9.3 per cent were familiar with the TCS. All of them said that it was a helpful tool, suitable for the real world in clinical practice and reflects the situations encountered in clinical practice during their training. Conclusion: The students considered that the TCS could be useful for ongoing training, the (in)formal discussion of clinical cases and standardisation of practices. 475 Patient education and innovation: role of the nurse in outpatient surgery MONICA GARCIA ANGUAS1, Monica Gonzalez Caballero1, Esperanza Herranz Adeva1 1HOSPITAL DEL MAR - CENTRO ESPERANZA, OUTPATIENT SURGICAL UNIT, BARCELONA, Spain Background: Preoperative anxiety is a phenomenon observed in patients before a surgical process (1,2), and has a close relationship with possible post-surgical complications (3). One of the causes is the lack of information about the procedure, instructions on preparation and post-surgical care. New technological methods such as Virtual Reality (VR) are used to help assimilate information and better understand the procedure, which could reduce anxiety and improve satisfaction. VR is a useful health tool that has the potential to revolutionize the way education is provided to patients and families in outpatient surgery (4,5). 3 KEY WORDS: Virtual Reality, surgery, patient education Objectives: Know the use of virtual reality as a tool to educate the patient in the surgical care process in an outpatient surgery unit. Methods: Systematic review in three databases (PubMEd, Cochrane, SciELO) following a search strategy: “virtual reality” AND Surgery AND “patient education” OR “patient preparation”. Publications in English and Spanish after 2015 were considered. A search, evaluation and data extraction of articles was carried out to identify the benefits of using virtual reality as an educational tool for the surgical patient. Results: A total of 16 studies have been reviewed, including clinical trials and observational studies. The results determine that VR is an effective tool to improve the understanding of information and preparation of patients before surgery, as well as to promote a positive experience and reduce negative emotions before a surgical process (6, 7). It has also been used in the pediatric population, observing a decrease in anxiety and better compliance with anesthetic induction (8). Conclusion: The potential of VR in surgery is related to better acquisition of information. Despite this, the novelty of this tool in training patients before surgery is not yet widely developed; Future research is suggested to continue improving its clinical applicability.
