Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Sağlık Bakanlığı Ankara Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Hematoloji Onkoloji Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Genel Pediatri Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi (YBÜ)’nde el hijyeni kurallarına uyumun değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda 03 Eylül 2012- 28 Eylül 2012 tarihleri arasındaki süreçte, mesai saatleri içinde birer saatlik periyodlar halinde, YBÜ’ye ziyaretler yapılmıştır. Gözlenen temaslar; meslek gruplarına, cinsiyete, invaziv veya yüzeysel olmalarına göre sınıflandırılarak, hasta ile temas öncesi ve temas sonrası, hastadan hastaya geçiş sırasında, eldiven giymeden önce ve sonra el hijyeni kurallarına uyum açısından değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Çalışma dönemi içinde toplam 1126 temas (863 yüzeysel, 263 invaziv) değerlendirildiğinde, el temizliği kurallarına uyum oranı %8.8 olarak saptanmıştır. Eldivenli temaslarda hastadan hastaya geçişte eldiven değiştirme oranının %44 olduğu bulunmuştur. Meslek gruplarına göre el temizliğine uyum değerlendirildiğinde, en iyi hemşirelerde (%75) saptanmış olup, bunu sırasıyla uzman doktorlar (%20) ve asistan doktorlar (%5) izlemiştir.Sonuç: Hastane şartlarının iyileştirilmesi, el hijyeni eğitimlerinin gerçekleştirilmesi, uyumun izlenmesi, konu ile ilgili broşür afiş gibi görsel hatırlatıcı eğitim gereçlerinin kullanılması ve geri bildirimin el hijyeni kurallarına uyumun artırılmasına önemli katkılar sağlayacağını düşünmekteyiz.
Objective: We aimed to assess the compliance with hand hygiene rules in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of the Ankara Hematology Oncology Pediatric Research and Education Hospital.Material and Methods: In this study 1-hour visits were made during working hours between September 03 and September 28, 2012.

The ratio of glove changing from patient to patient was found to be 44%. When compliance with hand hygiene rules was assessed according to professions, the highest compliance rate was found in nurses at 75%, followed by attending physicians at 20%, and residents at 5%.
