Amaç
Hemşireler, yoğun bakım ünitelerinde hasta ile en sık temas halinde olan sağlık çalışanlarıdır. Hemşireler tarafından uygun el hijyeni sağlanması, sağlık hizmetiyle ilişkili enfeksiyonların neden olduğu olumsuz sonuçları ortadan kaldırabilir ve bu bağlamda etkili el hijyeni uygulamaları sağlık bakımı ile ilişkili enfeksiyonlara bağlı ölüm oranlarını azaltabilir. Aynı zamanda hemşireler ünite içerisinde çalışan diğer sağlık profesyonelleri için de rol model olabilirler. Bu araştırma, yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin el hijyeni inanç durumlarını ve el hijyeni uygulama düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem
Araştırma tanımlayıcı türdedir. Çalışmada kartopu örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmış, örneklem Türkiye’deki 228 yoğun bakım hemşiresinden oluşmuştur. Veriler “Hemşire Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu”, “El Hijyeni İnanç Ölçeği (EHİÖ)” ve “El Hijyeni Uygulama Envanteri (EHUE)” ile toplanmıştır.
Bulgular
Çalışmanın sonucunda yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin el hijyeni inançlarının ve el hijyeni uygulamalarının yüksek olduğu, EHİÖ ile EHUE arasında orta düzeyde pozitif korelasyon olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuç
Hemşirelerin el hijyeni inançlarının arttırılması ve uygun el hijyeni davranışının geliştirilmesi için kurumlarda el hijyeni kültürünün geliştirilmesine yönelik planlamaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
