Publication: Kanıta Dayalı Uygulamalar Kapsamında Hemşirelerin Cerrahi Alan Enfeksiyonunu Önlemeye Yönelik Yaklaşımlarının Eğitim Öncesi ve Sonrasında Değerlendirilmesi
Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışma, kanıta dayalı uygulamalar Kanıta dayalı uygulamalar (KDU) çerçevesinde hemşirelerin cerrahi alan enfeksiyonlarını Cerrahi Alan Enfeksiyonlarını (CAE) önlemeye yönelik bilgi ve uygulamalarını eğitim öncesi ve sonrasında değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ve Eğitim sürecinin hemşirelerin klinik uygulamaları ve enfeksiyon kontrol stratejilerine uyumu üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Materyal-Metot: Araştırma, yarı deneysel bir çalışma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Çalışma, Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi'nde cerrahi alanlarda çalışan 120 hemşireyi kapsamaktadır. Veriler 1 Aralık 2023-29 Nisan 2024 tarihleri arasında Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Hemşirelerin Mesleki Özellikleri Formu ve CAE'yi önlemeye yönelik Bilgi ve Uygulama Değerlendirme Formları ile anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS for Windows 22 programı kullanılmış ve bağımsız t-testi, bağımlı t-testi, ki-kare, istatistiksel yöntemlerden yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular: Deney grubundaki hemşirelerin %83,3'ü kadın, %78,3'ü evli ve %86,7'si üniversite mezunudur. Deney grubunun yaş ortalaması 36,38±8,53 yıl, çalışma süresi ise 13,45±9,03 yıldır. Deney grubunda ön test ve son test bilgi puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (t=21.280, p<0,05). Ancak kontrol grubunda bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir (p>0,05). Her iki grupta da uygulama puanlarında anlamlı bir artış saptanmıştır (t=22.939, p<0,05). Sonuç: hemşirelerin KDU kapsamında CAE'ı önlemeye yönelik özellikle bilgi ve uygulama düzeylerinin yüksek olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Deney grubunda gerçekleştirilen eğitim programı sonrasında hemşirelerin bilgi ve uygulama seviyelerinde anlamlı bir artış saptanmıştır. Bununla birlikte, hemşirelerin KDU ile ilgili yeterli hizmet içi eğitim olanaklarına erişemediği ve mevcut kurum içi eğitimlerin sınırlı kaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum, KDU protokollerinin etkin şekilde uygulanabilmesi için hemşirelerin mesleki gelişimlerinin sürekli eğitimlerle desteklenmesi gerektiğine işaret etmektedir.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate nurses' knowledge and practices related to the prevention of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) within the framework of evidence-based practices, both before and after training. It also examines the impact of the training process on nurses' adherence to clinical practices and infection control strategies. Materials and Methods: The research is designed as a quasi-experimental study. The study includes 120 nurses working in surgical units at Ondokuz Mayıs University Health Application and Research Center. Data were collected between December 1, 2023, and April 29, 2024, using the Personal Information Form, Nurses' Professional Characteristics Form, and the Knowledge and Practice Evaluation Forms for SSI Prevention through survey methods. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS for Windows version 22 software, employing independent t-tests, paired t-tests, chi-square tests, and other statistical methods. Results: Among the nurses in the experimental group, 83.3% were female, 78.3% were married, and 86.7% were university graduates. The mean age of the experimental group was 36.38±8.53 years, with an average professional experience of 13.45±9.03 years. A significant difference was found in the mean pre-test and post-test knowledge scores of the experimental group (t=21.280, p<0.05). However, this difference was not statistically significant in the control group (p>0.05). Both groups showed a significant increase in practice scores (t=22.939, p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings revealed that nurses' knowledge and practice levels regarding SSI prevention within the scope of evidence-based practices were not sufficiently high. Following the training program conducted with the experimental group, a significant increase in nurses' knowledge and practice levels was observed. However, it was identified that nurses lacked adequate access to in-service training opportunities related to evidence-based practices, and existing institutional training programs were limited. These results highlight the necessity of continuous professional development for nurses to ensure the effective implementation of evidence-based protocols.
