Özet:

 In our study, we aimed to determine the knowledge and behavior levels of occupational groups working in the hospital, such as physicians, nurses, personnel in the hospital disaster response plan, technicians, security personnel, and cleaning personnel, in case of a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear CBRN attackincident in two university hospitals. We conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional study of 477 hospital employees in 2 university hospitals in the Thrace region. Data were collected by face-to-face interview method. Descriptive statistical methods were used while evaluating the data number, percentage. Chi-square analysis was applied to determine the relationship between the variables. 10 of the participants generally said yes to the preparedness of health institutions for future earthquakes or chemical and nuclear incidents, and biological epidemics since the 1999 earthquake, and 75 of them stated that as a healthcare professional, they were not sure that the healthcare system would protect them during a large-scale epidemic of infectious disease or any natural or man-made disaster, revealing their distrust of the institutions they work for. Because CBRN events involve unique hazards, hospital staff must be specially trained and have access to the necessary equipment and equipment. We found that most hospital staff have insufficient preparation and education levels against CBRN events. Inadequate training and lack of knowledge can negatively affect CBRN preparation. The roles and responsibilities of hospital staff regarding managing CBRN incidents should be determined before the event and supported by training.

 Çalışmamızda iki üniversite hastanesinde Kimyasal, Biyolojik, Radyolojik, Nükleer KBRN saldırıolay olması durumunda hastanede görev yapan doktor, hemşire, hastane afet müdahale planında yer alan personel, teknisyen, güvenlik personeli ve temizlik personeli gibi meslek gruplarının bilgi ve davranış düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Trakya bölgesindeki 2 üniversite hastanesinde 477 hastane çalışanı üzerinde tanımlayıcı, kesitsel bir çalışma gerçekleştirdik. Veriler yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplandı. Veriler değerlendirilirken betimsel istatistiksel yöntemler sayı, yüzde kullanıldı. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek için ki-kare analizi uygulandı. Katılımcıların 10u genel olarak sağlık kurumlarının 1999 depreminden bu yana gelecekteki depremlere veya kimyasal ve nükleer olaylara ve biyolojik salgınlara karşı hazırlıklı olmalarına evet derken, 75i bir sağlık çalışanı olarak büyük çaplı bir bulaşıcı hastalık salgını veya herhangi bir doğal veya insan kaynaklı afet sırasında sağlık sisteminin kendilerini koruyacağından emin olmadıklarını belirterek çalıştıkları kurumlara olan güvensizliklerini ortaya koydu. KBRN olayları benzersiz tehlikeler içerdiğinden, hastane personeli özel olarak eğitilmeli ve gerekli ekipman ve ekipmana erişebilmelidir. Çoğu hastane personelinin KBRN olaylarına karşı hazırlık ve eğitim düzeylerinin yetersiz olduğu tespit edildi. Yetersiz eğitim ve bilgi eksikliği, KBRN hazırlığını olumsuz etkileyebilir. KBRN olaylarının yönetimine ilişkin hastane personelinin rol ve sorumlulukları olay öncesinde belirlenmeli ve eğitimlerle desteklenmelidir.
