Pandemi Sürecinde Hemşirelik Öğrencileri ve Yakınlarının Maske Kullanım Davranışları

Abstract

Amaç: İstanbul’da bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören hemşirelik öğrencilerinin ve yakınlarının maske kullanım davranışlarını belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Ekim-Aralık 2020 tarihinde, tanımlayıcı olarak planlanan bu araştırma bir devlet üniversitesinin hemşirelik bölümü öğrencileri ve yakın çevrelerinden oluşan 1912 kişiyle yürütüldü. Veriler “Maske Kullanım Davranışlarımı Belirleme Formu” kullanılarak çevrimiçi olarak toplandı. Sayı, yüzde, x2 analizi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 25±7’dir. Maske takma oranı %97.6’dır. Kadınların %98.9’u, erkeklerin %93.6’sı ve üniversite öğrencilerinin %98.3’ü maske kullanmaktaydı. Katılımcıların %92.5’i cerrahi maske kullanmaktaydı. Kronik hastalığı olanların %2.0’ı, virüse inanmayanların %18.6’sı, maskenin koruyuculuğuna inanmayanların %6.8’i maskesini takmamaktaydı. Maske takanlardan %28.9’u aynı maskeyi gün boyu ve %27.8’i aynı maskeyi birden fazla kez kullanmaktaydı. %17.6’sı herhangi bir kurala uymadan çıkarmaktaydı. Maskesini yıkayanların %72.5’i cerrahi maskesini de yıkamaktaydı.
Sonuç: Katılımcıların çoğu maske takmasına rağmen hala maske takmayan, uygun kullanmayan ciddi bir popülasyon vardır. Bu popülasyonun salgının yayılmasını kolaylaştıracağı düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca cinsiyet, çalışma, ekonomik durum maske takma davranışlarında fark yaratmaktadır. Geleceğin sağlık çalışanı olan hemşirelik öğrencilerine ve halka maske takma bilinci ve doğru davranışlar daha etkili yöntemler ile hem eğitimciler hem de halk sağlığı hemşireleri tarafından öğretilmeye devam edilmelidir.

Mask Use Behaviors of Nursing Students and Their Relatives During The Pandemic Process

Abstract

Objective: To determine the mask wearing behaviors of nursing students and their relatives studying at a state university in Istanbul.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study, planned for October-December 2020, was carried out with 1912 people from a state university's nursing department. The data were collected online using the "Determine My Mask Usage Behaviors Form". Number, percentage, x2 analysis was used.
Results: The average age of the participants is 25 ± 7. The rate of wearing a mask is 97.6%. 98.9% of women, 93.6% of men and 98.3% of university students use masks. 92.5% of the participants were using a surgical mask. 2% of those with chronic diseases, 18.6% of those who didn’t believe in the virus, 6.8% of those who didn’t believe in the protection of the mask didn’t wear their mask. Among those wearing masks, 28.9% used the same mask throughout the day and 27.8% used the same mask more than once. 17.6% of them were removing it without obeying any rules. 72.5% of those who washed their masks were also washing their surgical masks.
Conclusion: Although most of the participants’ wear masks, there is still a serious population that doesn’t wear masks and doesn’t use them appropriately. It is thought that this population will facilitate the spread of the epidemic. In addition, gender, employment, and economic status make a difference in wearing masks. The awareness of wearing masks and correct behaviors should continue to be taught by both educators and public health nurses to the future healthcare professionals of nursing students and the public.
