Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı hastanelerde kullanılan kişisel koruyucu ekipmanların COVID-19 salgın dönemindeki değişim oranlarını değerlendirmektir. Araştırma retrospektif tipte bir araştırmadır. Araştırma, Türkiye’de bir kamu hastanesinde yapılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında 2019 ve 2020 yılına ait 6 aylık (Nisan-Eylül) veriler kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri hastane bilgi yönetim sistemi ve malzeme kaynak yönetim sisteminden alınmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre kişisel koruyucu ekipmanlar arasında toplam kullanım miktarına göre en fazla artışın %1.975 ile "maske" kullanımında olduğu görülmüştür. El antiseptiği kullanım miktarında %217,61, poşet eldiven kullanımında %151,56, bone kullanımında %123,41 ve non-steril eldiven kullanımında %3,15’lik artışların olduğu görülmüştür. Toplam kullanım miktarına göre azalışın görüldüğü tek koruyucu ekipman olan steril eldivendeki azalış oranı ise %10,66’dır. Ayrıca, hastaneye başvuran hasta sayısında %50’ye yakın azalma olmasına rağmen personel başı, hasta başı ve günlük kullanım miktarlarına göre yapılan değerlendirmelerde tüm malzeme kullanım miktarında önemli artışların olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, sağlık yönetimi literatürüne katkı sağlarken, salgın döneminde hasta ve personel başına düşen kişisel koruyucu ekipmanların kullanım miktarlarının ve değişim oranlarının bilinmesine ve de hastaneler için malzeme tedarik süreçlerinin doğru miktarda ve zamanında yapılmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.

Investigation of the Change in the Personal Protective Equipment Usage in a Public Hospital during the COVID-19 Outbreak

Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the change rates of personal protective equipment used in hospitals during the COVID-19 epidemic period. The research is a retrospective study. The study has been conducted at a state hospital in Turkey. Within the scope of the research, 6-month (April-September) data of 2019 and 2020 have been used. Research data have been taken from hospital information management system and material resource management system. According to the analysis results, it has been seen that the highest increase in the use of personal protective equipment was in the "mask" usage with a 1975%. It has been seen that there was an increase of; 217.61% in the amount of hand antiseptic usage, 151.56% in the use of polythene gloves, 123.41% in the use of head cap and 3.15% in the use of non-sterile nitrile gloves. The reduction rate in sterile gloves, which is the only protective equipment that has been observed to decrease according to the total usage amount, is 10.66%. Furthermore, although there was a 50% decrease in the number of patients who admitted to the hospital, it has been determined that there was a significant increase in the amount of all material usage in the evaluations made according to; per personnel, per patients and the amount of daily use. While the results of the research will contribute to the health management literature, they will contribute to know the usage amounts and change rates of personal protective equipment per patient and per personnel during the epidemic period, and also to make the material supply processes in hospitals in the right amount and on time.
