AMELİYATHANE HEMŞİRELERİNİN YANGIN GÜVENLİĞİNE KARŞI ALDIĞI ÖNLEMLERİN BELİRLENMESİ: KARABUK İLİ ÖRNEĞİ

Özet
Amaç: Ameliyathaneler, çeşitli cerrahi teknik ve yöntemlerin uygulandığı, ileri teknolojik araç/ gerecin kullanıldığı, hasta ve çalışan sağlığını etkileyen yangın gibi birçok riskin bir arada bulunduğu yerlerdir. Yangınlar, yaralanma ya da ölüm vakalarına yol açabilmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı ameliyathane hemşirelerinin yangın güvenliğine karşı alınması gereken önlemlere ilişkin bilgi ve uygulamalarını belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya katılmayı gönüllü kabul eden Karabük İli merkezindeki hastanelerin ameliyathanelerinde çalışan 32 hemşire ile tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Veriler, literatür bilgileri ile hazırlanmış olan anket ile yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır, Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde sayı ve yüzdelik kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmada hemşirelerin %96.9’u yangına karşı önlem alındığını, %75’i yangın söndürme tüpü ve alarm sisteminin olduğunu, %93.8’i ameliyathanede bulunan mevcut sistemlerin bakımının belirli aralıklarla yapıldığını, %87.6‘sı ameliyathanede yangın söndürme talimatnamesi bulunduğunu, %62.5’i ameliyathanede yangın çıkış levhası bulunduğunu ve hemşirelerin tamamının ameliyathanede elektrik sistemlerinin rutin kontrollerinin yapıldığını belirtmişlerdir. Hemşirelerin çoğunluğunun yangına karşı alınması gereken önlemler konusunda bilgili ancak yetersiz oldukları saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak ameliyathanelerde yangın durumunda uygulanacak acil durum planının oluşturulması, bu planın yangın tatbikatları yapılarak hemşire, anestezist, cerrah olmak üzere cerrahi ekibin diğer üyelerine öğretilmesi, yangın riskleri ve önlemlerine ilişkin cerrahi ekibe eğitim verilmesi ve bu eğitimin belirli aralıklarla tekrarlanması önerilmektedir.
