Abstract

Aim: We aimed to find out if there is statistically significant difference in self-reported hand hygiene compliance among Year-5 medical students, Year-6 medical students, and residents in Gazi University Faculty of Medicine between right before and after the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Turkiye. Materials and Methods: Two cross-sectional surveys were carried out to reveal self-reported hand hygiene compliance among participants right before and after the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Turkiye. Participants were Year-5 and Year-6 medical students and residents in Gazi University Faculty of Medicine. Convenience sampling was used. There were 833 participants in total.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte gerçekleştirilmiş olan bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de resmî olarak saptanan ilk COVID-19 vakasından hemen önce ve sonra, katılımcıların el hijyenine yönelik beyana dayalı uyumlarını ortaya çıkarmak için iki anket uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcıları, Gazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dönem 5 ve Dönem 6 öğrencileri ve tıpta uzmanlık öğrencileridir. Uygunluk örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Toplam katılımcı sayısı 833’tür. El hijyeni sağlama ile ilgili 10 madde içeren anket formu, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından geliştirilmiş olan el hijyenine dair rehberi incelenerek oluşturulmuştur.
