dc.description.abstractObjective: We aimed to reveal the change in microorganisms in the hand flora during the working period from hospitalpersonnels in the emergency department of Cumhuriyet University by taking hand cultures before and after the workingperiod.Method: Our study was planned to evaluate the change of the hand flora and pre-shift and post-shift hand cultures from10 physicians, 13 nurses, 10 transport personnel in the emergency department of Cumhuriyet University. Also the microorganisms of air samples from special intervention areas (resuscitation, red area) as well as general use areas wereanalyzed.Results: We compared the washing status between pre (4,%11.1) and post-contact16 (44.4%) hand washing rate. Thevolunteers generally had washed their hands after the contact with the patient and the difference was statistically wassignificantly higher (p <0.05). there wasn’t any difference between the microorganisms samples that were reproduced onthe pre-shift right and left hand samples and post-shift right and left hand. According to the total count of samples takenfrom the left and right hand before shift in terms of the microorganism seen the difference was significiant (t=7,48;p=0,001).Conclusions: Although our participants knew the hand hygiene indications of emergency service workers, their harmonywas found to be low, consistent with many studies in the literature. It has been observed that the habit of using gloves andhand disinfectant was low also. Efficient strategies may be developed; improving institutional healthcare conditions,conducting educations at certain intervals, observing the practitioner and collecting feedback. However, it should be notedthat the most significant issue is that the significance in hand washing is ensured with changes in habits.
