The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of operating room nurses (ORNs) of preventive practices in terms of protection against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
This research was a descriptive study.
About 279 ORNs from 17 provinces of Turkey were included. Data were collected online using Google Form. ORNs were communicated via WhatsApp or other social media platforms and were asked to answer the questionnaire. In the questionnaire, there were 12 questions on descriptive characteristics and 20 statements regarding the knowledge of ORNs on preventive practices for protection against COVID-19.
The rate of yes responses provided by ORNs to statements on preventive practices for protection against COVID-19 was found to be between 10% and 98.6%, whereas the rate of no responses was found to be between 0% and 25.8%. The rate of those stating that they did not have an opinion on statements was found to be between 1.8% and 48.4%.
The level of knowledge of ORNs on protective measures against COVID-19 was quite high. However, there are important issues to consider such as the fact that most ORs do not use an algorithm or guideline for protective practices and that almost half of ORNs had not received training on protection against COVID-19.
本研究旨在评估手术室护士(ORNs)对预防 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)相关防护措施的认知水平。
本研究为描述性研究。
共纳入来自土耳其 17 个省的 279 名 ORN。使用 Google 表单在线收集数据。通过 WhatsApp 或其他社交媒体平台与 ORN 沟通,并要求他们回答问卷。问卷中包括 12 个描述性特征问题和 20 个关于 ORN 对 COVID-19 防护相关预防措施知识的陈述。
ORN 对 COVID-19 防护预防措施的陈述的肯定回答率在 10%至 98.6%之间,而否定回答率在 0%至 25.8%之间。表示对陈述没有意见的比例在 1.8%至 48.4%之间。
ORN 对 COVID-19 防护措施的知识水平相当高。然而,仍有一些重要问题需要考虑,例如大多数 OR 没有使用预防措施的算法或指南,近一半的 ORN 没有接受过 COVID-19 防护方面的培训。
