Özet
Bu çalışmada, Ocak 1999-Mart 2001 tarihleri arasında Ankara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi İbn-i Sina Hastanesi ve Cebeci Tıp Fakültesi Hastanelerindeki toplam 500 hastane personeli ile toplumda kontrol grubu olarak seçilen 500 poliklinik hastasında metisiline dirençli Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nazal taşıyıcılığı oranları araştırılmıştır. MRSA nazal taşıyıcılık oranları, hastane personelinde %6, kontrol grubunda %2.6 olarak belirlenmiş ve aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p 0.05), ancak bu oranların cerrahi birimlerde ve ameliyathanelerde çalışan personelde yüksek olduğu izlenmiştir.
Abstract
In this study, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) nasal carriage rates in hospital staff and community were investigated. The study included 500 hospital personnel and 500 outpatients in İbni Sina Hospital and Cebeci Hospital of Ankara University School of Medicine between January 1999-March 2001. Outpatients were assigned into the control group and hospital staff into the study group. MRSA nasal carriage rates of hospital staff and control group were found to be 6% and 2.6%, respectively, and the difference between these groups were statistically significant (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in the nasal carriage rates among the different members of the hospital personnel such as physicians, nurses and auxiliary staff (p>0.05), however the rates were higher especially in the personnel who were mainly working in the surgical wards and operating theaters.
