Knowledge, Attitudes and Behaviors about Hand Hygiene among Students Training in Health Departments of Two Universities
Öz: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors about hand hygiene among students training in health departments of two universities. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between January-February 2018. A total of 480 students training in nursing and elderly care/anesthesia departments were included in the sampling. Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 package program with using percentage, mean, chi-square test. In analysis p<0.05 value was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the study group, 71,2% were female, 65,6% were in nursing department and the mean age was 20,80±1,90 years. In our study, 73,5% of the students knew that dirty hands of health workers was the main road for crossing the harmful microorganisms and it was significantly higher in nursing department (p<0.05). The knowledge of both practices was higher in nursing department than in elderly care/ anesthesia (p<0.05). Only a quarter of all students knew that the minimum time required for alcohol-based handrubbing effects on microorganisms and it was significantly higher in nursing department (p<0.05). Conclusions: There was a big gap on hand hygiene knowledge, attitude and behaviors in both two departments. Gender and residence region were effective on hand hygiene behaviors.
Anahtar Kelime: İki Üniversitenin Sağlık Bölümünde Öğrenim Gören Öğrencilerin El Hijyeni Hakkındaki Bilgi, Tutum ve Davranışları
Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı iki üniversitenin sağlık bölümlerinde eğitim gören, öğrencilerin el hijyeni konusundaki bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını değerlendirmektir. Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma Ocak-Şubat 2018 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Hemşirelik, yaşlı bakımı ve anestezi bölümlerinde eğitim alan toplam 480 öğrenci çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Veriler SPSS 17.0 paket programı ile yüzde, ortalama, ki-kare testi kullanılarak analiz edildi. Analizlerde p <0.05 değeri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Çalışma grubunun %71,2’si kadın, %65,6’sı hemşirelik bölümünde ve yaş ortalaması 20,80 ± 1,90 yıldı. Çalışmamızda öğrencilerin %73,5’i zararlı mikroorganizmaların bulaşında ana yolun sağlık çalışanlarının kirli ellerinin olduğunu bildi ve ve bu oran hemşirelik bölümünde anlamlı ölçüde yüksekti (p <0.05). El hijyeni ile ilgili her iki uygulamaya ilişkin bilgi hemşirelik bölümünde yaşlı bakımı / anestezisine göre daha yüksekti (p <0.05). Tüm öğrencilerin sadece dörtte biri alkol bazlı el dezenfektanı ile el ovma için gerekli minimum sürenin mikroorganizmalar üzerindeki etkilerini bildi ve bu oran hemşirelik bölümünde anlamlı ölçüde yüksekti (p <0.05). Sonuç: Her iki üniversitenin sağlıkla ilgili bölümlerindeki öğrencilerde el hijyeni bilgisi, tutumu ve davranışları açısından yetersizliklerin olduğu belirlendi. Cinsiyet ve yerleşim bölgesi el hijyeni davranışlarında etkili bulundu.
