Özet:

 Objective: This research was carried out to examine the effect of nurses beliefs on hand hygiene on hand hygiene practices. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 529 nurses working at the City Training and Research Hospital in a province in the south of Turkey between March and June 2019. The research data were collected by face-to-face survey method using personal information form, Hand Hygiene Belief Scale HHBS and Hand Hygiene Practice Inventory HHPI. The analysis of the research data was performed with SPSS version 24.0 package program. Frequency tables, descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-test, analysis of variance ANOVA test, MannWhitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to evaluate the research findings. Results: HHBS score mean was 83.649.14 and HHPI score mean was 65.885.66. A positive, very weak and statistically significant correlation was found between the HHBS and the HHPI scores r0.196; p0.000. It was found that HHBS scores were affected only by gender, while HHPI scores were affected by having children, the unit where the nurses work, the number of patients in the unit and their professional satisfaction. Conclusion: The research shows that as hand hygiene belief scale scores increase, hand hygiene practice inventory scores also increase positively.

 Amaç: Bu araştırma, hemşirelerin el hijyenine ilişkin inançlarının el hijyeni uygulamalarına etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel nitelikteki bu araştırma, Mart-Haziran 2019 tarihleri arasında Türkiyenin güneyinde bulunan bir ildeki Şehir Eğitim ve Araştırma hastanesinde çalışan 529 hemşire ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, kişisel bilgi formu, El Hijyeni İnanç Ölçeği HHBS ve El Hijyeni Uygulama Envanteri HHPIkullanılarak yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizi SPSS versiyon 24.0 paket programı ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularının değerlendirilmesinde frekans tabloları, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, independent-samples t-test, Analysis of Variance ANOVA test, MannWhitney U test ve KruskalWallis H test kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: HHBS puan ortalaması 83.649.14, HHPI puan ortalaması 65.885.66 idi. HHBS ve HHPI puanları arasında pozitif yönde, çok zayıf derecede ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu r0.196; p0.000. HHBS puanlarının sadece cinsiyetten etkilendiği, HHPI puanlarının ise çocuk sahibi olma, hemşirelerin çalıştığı birim, birimdeki hasta sayısı ve mesleki memnuniyetlerinden etkilendiği bulundu. Sonuç: Araştırma, el hijyeni inanç ölçeği puanları arttıkça, el hijyeni uygulama envanteri puanlarının da pozitif yönde arttığını göstermektedir.
