This study was conducted to determine the relationship between nurses' compliance with isolation measures and their communication skills and mindfulness levels in surgical intensive care units. The descriptive and correlational study was completed with 237 nurses working in surgical intensive care units in Turkey between 1-30 January 2023. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Compliance with Isolation Measures Scale (ACMAS), the Mindfulness Scale (MBS), and the Communication Skills Scale-Adult Form (CBS-Adult Form). The questionnaire was designed with Google Forms web application and sent to the smart phones of nurses via WhatsApp messaging programme. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson Correlation analysis and Linear Regression analyse were used to evaluate the data. The mean age of the nurses participating in the study was 37.87±6.55 (min. 19, max. 50) and 51.9% of them were female. It was determined that nurses' compliance with isolation measures was at a good level. It was determined that the factors significantly affecting nurses' compliance with isolation precautions were conscious awareness status and exposure to nosocomial infections. It is thought that conscious awareness-based practices should be supported to increase nurses' compliance with isolation measures.

Cerrahi Yoğun Bakım Ünitelerinde Hemşirelerin İzolasyon Önlemlerine Uyumları ile İletişim Becerileri ve Bilinçli Farkındalık Düzeyleri Arasındaki İlişki

Öz

Bu çalışma cerrahi yoğun bakım ünitelerinde hemşirelerin izolasyon önlemlerine uyumları ile iletişim becerileri ve bilinçli farkındalık düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı türdeki araştırma 1-30 Ocak 2023 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’deki cerrahi yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan 237 hemşire ile tamamlanmıştır. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İzolasyon Önlemlerine Uyum Ölçeği (İÖUÖ), Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği (BFÖ) ve İletişim Becerileri Ölçeği-Yetişkin Formu (İBÖ-YF) ile toplanmıştır. Anket Google Forms web uygulaması ile düzenlenerek hemşirelerin akıllı telefonlarına WhatsApp mesajlaşma programı aracılığıyla gönderilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde yüzdelik, ortalama, standart sapma, Pearson Korelasyon analizi ve Lineer Regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 37.87±6.55 (min. 19, max.50) olup %51.9’u kadındır. Hemşirelerin izolasyon önlemlerine uyumlarının iyi düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin izolasyon önlemlerine uyumlarını önemli ölçüde etkileyen faktörlerin; bilinçli farkındalık durumları ve hastane enfeksiyonlarına maruziyet olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin izolasyon önlemlerine uyumlarını arttırmak için bilinçli farkındalık temelli uygulamaların desteklenmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
