Abstract

ABSTRACT
Ocular surface disorders are commonly seen due to the deterioration of the eye's protective mechanisms in intensive care patients. But eye care is often ignored or incorrect practices may be performed because the protection and treatment of vital organs is seen as more important than eye care in patients hospitalized in intensive care units. More studies are needed to show the importance of eye care for intensive care patients. Eye care should be standardized by creating evidence-based protocols and guidelines to prevent eye complications and improve patients' quality of life. Nurses' knowledge about eye care should be increased through in-house training. Positive attitudes about eye care should be developed and knowledge should be transformed into behavior.

Yoğun Bakım Hastalarında Görülen Göz Enfeksiyonları ve Hemşirelik Bakımı: Literatür İncelemesi

Abstract

ÖZET
Oküler yüzey bozuklukları, gözün koruyucu mekanizmalarının bozulması nedeniyle yoğun bakım hastalarında yaygın olarak görülmektedir. Ancak yoğun bakım ünitelerinde yatan hastalarda hayati organların korunması ve tedavisi, göz bakımından daha önemli olarak görüldüğü için çoğu zaman göz bakımına dikkat edilmemekte ya da hatalı uygulamalar yapılabilmektedir. Yoğun bakım hastaları için göz bakımının önemini gösteren daha fazla çalışma yapılmadır. Göz komplikasyonlarını önlemek ve hastaların yaşam kalitesini arttırmak için kanıta dayalı protokoller, rehberler oluşturularak göz bakımı standardize edilmelidir. Hemşirelerin göz bakımı hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri kurum içi eğitimler ile arttırılmalıdır. Göz bakımı hakkında olumlu tutum geliştirilmesi ve bilginin davranışa dönüşmesi sağlanmalıdır.
