Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to reveal the scientific approach to mask use and protection in COVID-19 pandemic by rapid systematic review of mask use in COVID-19 pandemic. Within the framework of the search strategy created, a search was made with keywords and in the specified time, period and 27 articles were included in the study. According to the studies included, although the usage environments of the masks and the people they are expected to use are different, the protection levels are; N95 and similar (such as FFP2, FFP 3) masks, surgical / medical masks and non-medical (such as polypropylene, cotton, polyester, cellulose, silk) masks are seen. The mask provides the prescribed protection together with physical distance and hygiene; It was concluded that the findings, discussions and suggestions regarding the use of masks vary according to the existing scientific evidence, potential sources and mask types, and the current information and published suggestions regarding the use of masks should be continued periodically, depending on the new evidence in the process.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, COVID-19’da maske kullanımına ilişkin hızlı sistematik tarama yapılarak COVID-19 pandemisinde maske kullanımına ve koruyuculuğuna ilişkin bilimsel yaklaşımı ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Oluşturulan tarama stratejisi çerçevesinde, belirlenen zaman aralığında ve anahtar kelimeler ile tarama yapılmış ve 27 makale çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Dâhil edilen çalışmalara göre maskelerin, kullanım ortamları ve kullanması öngörülen kişiler farklı olmakla birlikte, koruyuculuk düzeylerinin sırasıyla; N95 ve benzeri (FFP2, FFP 3 gibi) maskeler, cerrahi/tıbbi maskeler ve tıbbi olmayan (polipropilen, pamuklu, polyester, selüloz, ipek gibi) maskeler olduğu görülmektedir. Maskenin, fiziksel mesafe ve hijyen ile birlikte öngörülen korumayı sağladığı; maske kullanımına yönelik bulgu, tartışma ve önerilerin, mevcut bilimsel kanıtlar, potansiyel kaynaklar ve maske türlerine göre değiştiği, maske kullanımına yönelik güncel bilgilerin ve yayınlanan önerilerin süreç içinde gelen yeni kanıtlara bağlı olarak periyodik güncellemeye devam edilmesi gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
