Bir üniversite hastanesindeki sağlık personelinin el hijyeni uyum oranlarının değerlendirilmesi: Prospektif bir çalışma
Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2014 ve 2018 yılları arasında yoğun bakım ünitelerinde (YBÜ) sağlık çalışanlarının el hijyeni uyum oranını saptamaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma yedi YBÜ’de (Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları, Yenidoğan, İç Hastalıkları, Anestezi ve Reanimasyon, Göğüs Hastalıkları, Nöroloji ve Kalp Damar Cerrahisi) çalışan doktor, hemşire ve yardımcı sağlık personelinin el hijyeni uyumunu değerlendiren prospektif, gözlemsel bir çalışmadır. El hijyeni uyumu enfeksiyon kontrol hemşireleri tarafından Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) beş endikasyonuna göre Ocak 2014 ile Aralık 2018 arasında haberli gözlem şeklinde yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, yüksek ve düşük el hijyeni uyumluluğuna sahip bireylere kişisel geri bildirimler verilmiştir.
Bulgular: Toplam 24153 el hijyeni fırsat gözlemi (2014: 5695, 2015: 5307, 2016: 4563, 2017: 4821, 2018: 3767) yapıldı. Çalışmamızda 2014'ün ilk döneminde el hijyeni uyum oranı %25,6 idi. Tüm çalışanların el hijyeni uyum oranı sırasıyla; 2014: %32,0, 2015: %55,7, 2016: %61,0, 2017: %55,6 ve 2018: %68,1 olmuştur. Mesleklere göre; el hijyeni uyum oranları hemşirelerde %37 ile %70, yardımcı sağlık personelinde %20 ile %51, doktorlarda %28 ile %49 arasındaydı.
Sonuç: Hastanemizde el hijyeni kurallarına uyum, sürekli çabalarla nispeten zayıf seviyelerden ortalama seviyelere yükselmiştir. El hijyeni uyum oranlarını %70'lerin üstüne çıkarmak için daha fazla destekleyici çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.

Evaluation of hygiene compliance rates among healthcare workers in a university hospital: A prospective study
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the hand hygiene (HH) compliance of the health workers in the intensive care units (ICUs) between the years 2014 and 2018. Materials and Methods: A prospective, observational study assessed the hospital care HH compliance among doctors and nurses and auxiliary staff in seven ICUs (Pediatrics, Neonatal, Internal Medicine, Anesthesia and Reanimation, Chest Diseases, Neurology and Cardiovascular Surgery) of our setting.
Unblinded observations were conducted by infection control nurses between January 2014 and December 2018 according to the five indications based on World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Practical HH training was continued during the HH observations of employees at ICUs in our hospital. In addition, personal feedback was given to individuals with high and low HH compliance.
Results: A total of 24153 HH opportunity (2014: 5695, 2015: 5307, 2016: 4563, 2017: 4821, 2018: 3767) observations were made. In the first period of 2014, the rate of HH compliance was 25.6%. The HH compliance rates of all employees were as follows: 2014: 34%, 2015: 55.7%, 2016: 61.0%, 2017: 55.6% and 2018: 68.1%. According to occupations; HH compliance rates were found to range between 37% and 70% in nurses, 20% and 51% in auxiliary healthcare personnel, 28% and 49% in doctors.
Conclusion: In our hospital compliance with HH rules increased from relatively poor levels to relatively average levels via continuous efforts. Further supportive studies are needed to increase HH compliance rates above 70%.
