Özet
Objective: The research was conducted to determine the opinions of patients hospitalized in a state hospital regarding hand hygiene, use of gloves and antiseptics. Method: The population of this descriptive study consists of all patients hospitalized in the internal and surgical clinics of a state hospital. The study was conducted with 152 patients who volunteered to participate in the study between May and July 2018. An introductory questionnaire created by the researcher was used to collect the data. The data were evaluated with the SPSS program. Chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables among descriptive statistics. Results: According to the findings of the study, 75% of the patients pay attention to hand hygiene, 66.4% of nurses use gloves during blood pressure measurement, 52% of nurses do not change gloves when transitioning from one patient to another, and 94.7% of nurses use gloves while administering medication. Regarding the use of antiseptics, 64.5% of the patients stated that the nurses did not use antiseptic when leaving the room. Additionally, a statistically significant difference was found between the education level of the patients and their hand hygiene education (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that the patients were making erroneous practices related to the use of gloves and antiseptics, despite the nurses expressing that they paid attention to hand hygiene. It is recommended to conduct observational studies on hand hygiene, use of gloves and antiseptics among nurses, and to provide regular training and inspections on this subject.
