Nurses’ Compliance with Isolation Precautions and Their Attitudes to Patient Safety
Year 2023,
Volume: 14 Issue: 4 - Cumhuriyet'in 100. Yılına Armağan Sayısı, 703 - 708, 01.10.2023
Background/Purpose: Nurses’ compliance with isolation measures is extremely important for patient safety. This research was conducted to examine nurses’ compliance with isolation precautions and patient safety attitudes.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. The data of the study were collected between January and March 2022 in a tertiary education and research hospital. A Nurse Descriptive Form, an Isolation Precautions Compliance Scale and a Patient Safety Attitude Scale were used to collect data.
Results: Three hundred and sixty-two nurses participated in the study. The total mean score of the nurses’ Isolation Precautions Compliance Scale was 75.74±11.58, and the total mean score of the Patient Safety Attitude Questionnaire was 127.28±34.29. It was found that the mean patient safety attitude score of the nurses was significantly different according to age and whether they were caring for COVID-19 patients (p<0.05). It was also found that the level of compliance of the nurses with the isolation measures did not vary according to their socio-demographic and descriptive characteristics. There was a positive and very weak correlation between worker and patient safety and teamwork climate (p=0.02, r=0.123), safety climate (p=0.04, r=0.105), and hand hygiene and use of gloves and teamwork climate (p=0.04, r=0.109).
Conclusion: It was determined that the level of compliance of the nurses with the isolation measures was high and their attitudes toward patient safety were positive. It was determined that there was no significant relationship between the level of compliance of nurses with isolation precautions and their attitude toward patient safety.
