Abstract

As a body art, tattooing and body piercing have existed throughout the centuries since ancient times, have been practiced in almost all cultures, have grown and is still growing in popularity in Western societies. Since body piercing and tattooing practices are invasive applications they need to be regulated and standardized for infection control. These standards should include sanitation, sterilization, management of single-use items, competency requirements for personnel, infection control, client record keeping and retention, preparation, care and education. Nurses have continually impetus power to improve patient education, provide advanced patient safety, apply scientific principles, and improve health promotion in evolving, multicultural societies. This article reveals the role of the nurses in infection control of tattoo and body piercing practices, which is an undiscussed subject in our country.

Özet

Antik çağlardan bu yana dövme ve piercing uygulamaları, bir vücut sanatı olarak insan yaşamında var olmuş, hemen hemen tüm kültürlerde uygulanmış, günümüzün modern batı dünyasında popülaritesi artmış ve artmaya devam etmektedir. Vücut piercing ve dövme uygulamalarının invaziv girişimler olması nedeniyle enfeksiyon kontrolünün sağlanması için düzenleme ve standardizasyonun yapılması gerekmektedir. Bu standartlar sanitasyon, sterilizasyon, tek kullanımlık ürün yönetimi, personel için yeterlilik gereksinimleri, enfeksiyon kontrolü, kayıt tutma ve saklama, cilt hazırlığı, bakım ve eğitimi içermelidir. Hemşireler sürekli hasta eğitimini geliştirmek, ileri hasta güvenliğini sağlamak, bilimsel ilkeleri uygulamak ve gelişen çok kültürlü toplumlarda sağlığın geliştirilmesi ve sağlanmasında itici güce sahip olmaktadırlar. Bu bağlamda, makalede ülkemizde ele alınmayan bir konu olan dövme ve vücut piercing uygulamalarında enfeksiyon kontrolünü sağlanmasında hemşirenin rolüne değinilmiştir.
