AMELİYATHANE HEMŞİRELERİNİN CERRAHİ EL YIKAMA UYGULAMALARININ İNCELENMESİ

Amaç: Ameliyathanelerde cerrahi el yıkama zorunlu bir işlem olmasına rağmen evrensel olarak uygulanan standart bir el yıkama tekniği bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ameliyathane hemşirelerinin cerrahi el yıkama uygulamalarının belirlenmesidir. Gereç Yöntem: Bu çalışma 04- 08 Eylül 2007 tarihleri arasında Gaziantep’te yapılan Türk Cerrahi ve Ameliyathane Hemşireliği Kongresi’ Cerrahi El Yıkama Kursu’nda yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 18 il ve 35 farklı hastaneden katılan 96 ameliyathane hemşiresi oluşturmuştur. Kursa katılan hemşirelerin tümü soru kağıdını doldurmuşlardır. Veriler 6 açık soru ve 19 çoktan seçmeli toplam 25 sorunun yer aldığı soru kağıdı aracılığı ile toplanmış ve SPSS 11.0 programı kullanılarak sayı ve yüzde olarak sunulmuştur. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin %45.8’i cerrahi el yıkamaya yönelik hizmet içi eğitim almadığını, %53.1’i el yıkaması sırasında fırça kullandığını, %69.7’si el yıkamasında povidone-iodine kullandıklarını ve %95.8’i cerrahi el yıkama süresinin 2- 6 dakika olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Sonuç: Cerrahi el yıkamasına ilişkin uygulamaların literatürle uyumlu olmakla birlikte; kullanılan antiseptik, yıkama yöntemi ve süresi açısından bireysel ve kurumsal farklılıkların olduğu saptanmıştır
