Bir sağlık ocağına başvuran kişilerin sosyal el yıkama ile ilgili bazı bilgi ve tutumların saptanması

AMAÇ: Bu araştırmada bir sağlık ocağına başvuran kişilerin sosyal el yıkama ile ilgili bazı bilgi ve tutumlarının saptanması ve bunların bazı sosyodemografik özelliklerle ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. YÖNTEM: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu epidemiyolojik araştırmada bir sağlık ocağına 5 iş gününde başvuran 18 yaş ve üzerindeki kişiler araştırmanın evrenini oluşturmuştur. Araştırmaya katılmayı kabul edenlere araştırıcılar tarafından hazırlanan anket formu yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle uygulanmıştır. Katılımcıların bilgi ve olumlu tutum puan ortalamaları hesaplanmış, analizlerde yüzde dağılımı ile t-test ve One Way Anova kullanılmıştır. BULGULAR: Araştırmaya katılanların %77,9’u kadın, %31,0’ı ilkokul mezunu, %75,5’i evlidir. Katılımcıların %41,5’i ellerini günde 11 ve üzeri sayıda yıkadığını belirtmiştir. Araştırmaya katılanların bilgi puanlarının ortalaması 61,6±21,4, olumlu tutum puanlarının ortalaması ise 61,9±13,4 olarak saptanmıştır. Katılımcıların öğrenim durumu arttıkça bilgi ve olumlu tutum puan ortalamalarının arttığı görülmektedir ve fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (sırasıyla p=0,002, p=0,013). Katılımcılardan kadın olanlarda ortalama olumlu tutum puanı erkeklerden daha yüksektir ve farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p=0,001). SONUÇ: Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre el yıkama ile ilgili bilgi ve olumlu tutumların sosyodemografik özelliklerden etkilendiği söylenebilir. El yıkama alışkanlığı ile ilgili olarak bilgi ve olumlu tutumu iyileştirilmesi için en uygun çözümün eğitim seviyesini yükseltmek olduğu sonucuna varılabilir.

A questionnaire, which was prepared by the researchers, was applied to the applicants who agree to participate in the survey with face to face interview method. The mean scores of the knowledge and positive attitude of participants were calculated and the percentage distribution, t-test and One Way Anova were used in analysis. RESULTS: 77.9% of participants in research were female, 31.0% were primary school graduate and 75.5% were married. Of the participants, 41.5% were washing hands 11 times and over in a day. The mean scores of the knowledge and positive attitudes of participants were 61.6±21.4 and 61.9±13.4, respectively. The mean knowledge and positive attitudes scores were significantly different increases with education (p=0.002, p=0.013 respectively).
