Abstract

Medical errors are inevitable because health services are provided by more than one professional group and the institutions served have complex structures. The most important priority in providing healthcare services is not to harm the patient. In this regard, ensuring patient safety emerges as the main priority. It is extremely important to include patients and their relatives in patient safety practices, keeping in mind that they are a part of the team. The contribution of patients and their relatives to safety measures, especially within the scope of preventing infections, is emphasized in the literature. In the strategies to be practiced, it is recommended to prioritize hand hygiene, a simple and cost-effective way of preventing infections, with the participation of patients and their relatives to ensure empowerment. In line with the literature, this review aims to discuss hand hygiene practices, one of the important issues in patient safety, with the patient and patient relatives’ participation in strategies preventing infections.

Özet

Sağlık hizmetlerinin birden fazla meslek grubu tarafından verilmesi ve hizmet verilen kurumların karmaşık bir yapıya sahip olması nedeniyle tıbbi hatalar kaçınılmazdır. Sağlık hizmetlerinin en önemli önceliği hastaya zarar vermemektir. Bu bakımdan hasta güvenliğini sağlamak temel öncelik olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Hasta ve hasta yakınlarının da ekibin bir parçası olduğu unutulmadan hasta güvenliği uygulamalarına katılımının sağlanması son derece önemlidir. Özellikle enfeksiyonların önlenmesi kapsamında hasta ve yakınlarının güvenlik önlemlerine vereceği katkı, alan yazında vurgulanmaktadır. Hastane enfeksiyonlarını engellemek için uygulanacak stratejilerden biri olan el hijyeni, uygun maliyetli ve en basit yaklaşımı içermektedir. El hijyenine öncelik verilmesi, hasta ve hasta yakınlarının katılımını sağlamada önerilmektedir. Bu bağlamda derlemenin amacı, hasta güvenliğindeki önemli konulardan biri olan enfeksiyonların önlenmesinde, hasta ve hasta yakınının katılım stratejileri arasında öncelikli olarak yer alan el hijyeni uygulamalarını alan yazın doğrultusunda tartışmaktır.
