Publication: Hemşirelerin Ameliyat Öncesi Tüy Temizliği ile Cerrahi Alan Enfeksiyonunu Önlemeye Yönelik Bilgi ve Uygulama Düzeylerinin Değerlendirilmesi
Abstract
Bu çalışma, bir devlet hastanesinde çalışan hemşirelerin ameliyat öncesi tüy temizliği ile cerrahi alan enfeksiyonunu önlemeye yönelik bilgi ve uygulama düzeylerini değerlendirmek amacı ile planlanmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel olarak planlanan araştırma, 01/02/2023-01/05/2023 tarihleri arasından Turhal Devlet Hastanesinde çalışan 123 hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Örneklem seçiminde, evreni bilinen örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonrası etki büyüklüğü (post hoc) güç analizi yapıldığında örneklem sayısının yeterli olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri 'Tanıtıcı Bilgiler Formu' ve 'Hemşirelerin Ameliyat Öncesi Tüy Temizliği ile Cerrahi Alan Enfeksiyonunu Önlemeye Yönelik Bilgi ve Uygulama Düzeylerini Değerlendirme Formu' kullanılarak yüz yüze toplanmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler SPSS 21.0 paket programında analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler (sayı, yüzde vb.) kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda edilen verilerin normallik varsayımı Kolmogorow-Smirnov testi ile test edilmiş ve verilerin normal dağılmadığı belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Araştırma verilerinin ilişki ve farklılaşma analizleri için Ki-kare bağımsızlık analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin %68.3'ünün kadın, %31.7'sinin erkek, (% 39.8) 21-30 yaş grubunda, (%65.9) lisans mezunu ve meslekte (%49.5) on yıldan fazla çalıştığı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin eğitim düzeyi, cinsiyet ve meslekte çalışma süresi ile cerrahi alan enfeksiyonlarını önlemeye yönelik bilgi ve uygulama düzeyleri karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır. Hemşirelerin ameliyat öncesi tüy temizliği için kullanılan yöntemler arasında %64.2'sinin jilet ile tıraş uygulanması gerektiği görüşünde oldukları, tüy temizliği uygulanması gereken zaman dilimi konusunda %74'ünün ameliyattan bir gece önce yapılmasının ve %70.7'sinin hasta/hasta yakınının tüy temizleme işlemini uygulayan kişi olması gerektiğini ifade ettikleri belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin ameliyat öncesi tüy temizliği ile cerrahi alan enfeksiyonunu önlemeye yönelik bilgi ve uygulama düzeylerinin istendik düzeyde olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin güncel kaynakları takip ederek bilgi ve uygulamalarını geliştirmelerinin önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
This study was planned to evaluate the knowledge and practice levels of nurses working in a state hospital regarding preoperative feather cleaning and the prevention of surgical site infection. The descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 123 nurses working in Turhal State Hospital between 01/02/2023 and 01/05/2023. A sampling method from the known universe was used in sample selection. When the effect size (post hoc) power analysis was performed after the research, it was concluded that the sample size was sufficient. The data for the study were collected face-to-face using the 'Introductory Information Form' and the 'Form for Assessing Nurses' Knowledge and Practice Levels for Preoperative Hair Cleaning and Prevention of Surgical Site Infection'. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 package program. Descriptive statistics (number, percentage, etc.) were used to analyze the data. The normality assumption of the data obtained as a result of the study was tested with the Kolmogorow-Smirnov test, and it was determined that the data were not normally distributed (p<0.05). Chi-square independence analysis was used for relationship and differentiation analysis of the research data. It was determined that 68.3% of the nurses participating in the study were female, 31.7% were male, 39.8% were in the 21–30 age group, 65.9% were undergraduate graduates, and 49.5 percent had been working in the profession for more than ten years. No significant difference was found when the level of education, gender, and working time of the nurses participating in the study were compared with their knowledge and practice levels to prevent surgical site infections. Among the methods used for preoperative hair removal, 64.2% of the nurses were of the opinion that shaving with a razor should be applied, 74% stated that hair removal should be performed the night before the operation, and 70.7% stated that the patient's relative should be the person who performs the hair removal process. It was determined that the knowledge and practice levels of nurses regarding preoperative hair removal and prevention of surgical site infection were not at the desired level. It is thought that it is important for nurses to improve their knowledge and practices by following current resources.
