Araştırmanın evrenini ilgili hastanelerin ameliyathanelerinde çalışan 169 ameliyathane hemşiresi oluşturdu. Araştırmanın verileri literatür doğrultusunda hazırlanan form ile araştırmacılar tarafından yüz yüze toplandı.Bulgular: Araştırmada Türkiye’de çalışan hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 30,47±7,85, Filistin’de çalışan hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 30,67±5,65 olarak belirlendi. Türkiye’de çalışan hemşirelerin %84,3’ünün Filistin’de çalışan hemşirelerin %68,7’sinin kadın olduğu saptandı. Türkiye’de çalışan hemşirelerin cerrahi duman nedeniyle %67,1’i baş ağrısı, %54,3’ü öksürük, %50’si göz yaşarması ve %41,4’ü bulantı semptomlarını yaşadıkları belirtildi. Filistin’de çalışan hemşirelerin ise cerrahi duman nedeniyle %96’sı saçlarda koku, %50,5’i baş ağrısı, %30,3’ü baş dönmesi ve %21,2’si havayolu inflamasyonu semptomlarını yaşadıklarını ifade etti. Her iki ülkede de hemşirelerin çoğunluğunun cerrahi dumandan korunmak için cerrahi maske, eldiven ve önlük kullandığı saptandı.Sonuç: Her iki ülkede de ameliyathanelerde cerrahi dumandan korunmaya yönelik alınan önlemlerin yetersiz olduğu ve hemşirelerin buna bağlı bazı sorunlar yaşadığı tespit edildi.

Methods: The research was carried out between June 2022 and July 2023 at Atatürk University Research Hospital and Al Şifa Hospital in Palestine Gaza Strip. The study population consisted of 169 operating room nurses working in the operating rooms of the relevant hospitals. The researchers collected the data face-to-face using a form prepared in accordance with the literature.Results: In the study, the average age of nurses working in Turkey was 30.47±7.85, and the average age of nurses working in Palestine was 30.67±5.65. It was determined that 84.3% of the nurses working in Turkey and 68.7% of the nurses working in Palestine were women. 67.1% of the nurses working in Turkey stated that they experienced headaches, 54.3% cough, 50% watery eyes and 41.4% nausea due to surgical smoke. On the other hand, 96% of the nurses working in Palestine stated that they experienced odour in the hair, 50.5% headache, 30.3% dizziness and 21.2% airway inflammation symptoms due to surgical smoke. It has been determined that most nurses in both countries use surgical masks, gloves and gowns to protect themselves from surgical smoke.Conclusion: In both countries, the precautions taken to prevent surgical smoke in the operating rooms were insufficient, and the nurses experienced related symptoms.
