Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of nail polish applied by operating room nurses on bacterial colonization after surgical hand washing. Materials and Methods: This is a self-controlled, experimental study in which the before and after values of the same group were analyzed. This study was conducted on 33 operating room nurses. The glove juice method was used to measure bacterial colonization on the nurses' hand flora. The data were collected using the Introductory Information Form for Nurses and the Data Recording Form. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods along with the Wilcoxon test. Results: Of the nurses, 54.56% had a bachelor's degree, 78.8% had been working as a nurse for at least 11 years, and 63.7% had been working as an operating room nurse for at least 11 years. Of them, 66.7% had nails shorter than 2 mm. and 60.6% sometimes used moisturizer. No statistically significant difference was found between the amount of bacteria in the samples obtained from the nurses' hands with and without nail polish after surgical hand washing.Conclusion: The findings showed that freshly applied nail polish has no effect on bacterial colonization.

Özet

Amaç: Araştırma ameliyathane hemşirelerinde oje kullanımının cerrahi el yıkama sonrası bakteriyel kolonizasyona etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapıldı.Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma, kendi kendisinin kontrolü olan ve aynı grupta önceki ve sonraki değerlerin karşılaştırıldığı, deneysel çalışma olarak gerçekleştirildi. Araştırma 33 ameliyathane hemşiresi ile yapıldı. Araştırmada hemşirelerin el florası üzerindeki bakteri kolonizasyonunu ölçmek için eldiven sıvı yöntemi (glove juice methodu) kullanıldı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemlerin yanı sıra Wilcoxon testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin %54.56’ sının lisans mezunu olduğu, %78.8’ inin 11 yıl ve üzerinde hemşirelik yaptığı, %63.7’ sinin de 11 yıl ve üzerinde ameliyathanede hemşire olarak çalıştığı bulundu. Cerrahi el yıkamayı etkileyen bireysel faktörler incelendiğinde ise; hemşirelerin %66.7’ sinin tırnak uzunluğunun 2 mm’ den kısa olduğu, %60.6’ sının bazen nemlendirici kullandığı, saptandı Araştırmada, hemşirelerin cerrahi el yıkama sonrası oje sürülen ve oje sürülmeyen ellerinden alınan örneklerdeki bakteri sayıları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadı.Sonuç: Araştırma bulguları, taze sürülmüş ojenin bakteriyel kolonizasyonda etkisi olmadığını gösterdi.
