Çukurova Üniversitesi sağlık hizmetleri meslek yüksekokulu öğrencilerinde nozokomiyal enfeksiyon bilgi düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Amaç: Nozokomiyal enfeksiyonlar, genellikle hasta hastaneye yattıktan 48 saat sonra daha veya sonrasında gelişen, ayrıca taburcu olduktan sonra 30 gün içinde orataya çıkabilen enfeksiyonlardır. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerin çoğunda, sağlık kurumlarında nozokomiyal enfeksiyon önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Sağlık hizmetlerinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin enfeksiyon kontrol önlemlerini bilmeleri sağlık hizmetleri ile ilişkili enfeksiyon oranlarını önemli ölçüde düşürebilir. Bu nedenle, öğrencilerin bilgi seviyesini belirleyerek eksikleri tamamlamak oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada; sağlık hizmetlerinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin nozokomiyal enfeksiyonlara ilişkin bilgi düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Çalışma 565 sağlık hizmetleri öğrencisi üzerinde tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Veriler öğrencilerin gözlem altında doldurdukları anket aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Anket öğrencilerin demografik özelliklerini ve bilgi düzeylerini belirlemeye yönelik olarak iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular değerlendirilirken istatistiksel analizler için IBM SPSS Statistics 22 programı kullanılmıştır. Niceliksel verilerin ikiden fazla grup arası değerlendirmelerinde Kruskal Wallis testi, farklılığa neden olan grubun tespitinde ise Mann Whitney U post hoc testi kullanılmıştır. Anlamlılık p
