Özet:

 Objective: The research aimed to analyze healthcare professionals levels of COVID-19 fear and hand hygiene practice and the correlation between COVID-19 fear and hand hygiene practices in a university hospital. Methods: The population of this descriptive and correlational research comprised 150 professionals, that is, 50 doctors and 100 nurses working in various units at a university hospital. The number of healthcare professionals who voluntarily took part in the research was 97. The data were collected through the Healthcare Professional Introduction Form, COVID-19 Fear Scale, and Hand Hygiene Practices Inventory. Results: The female professionals mean COVID-19 fear level score and hand hygiene practice level score were higher than those of males p  0.05. There was a significant difference among the mean COVID-19 fear scores with reference to the education level p  0.05. Of the professionals, 96.9 had at least one problem after hand hygiene. It was determined that there was a very weak, positive, and significant correlation between the level of COVID-19 fear and that of hand hygiene performance r 0.224; p  0.05. Conclusion: The research reveals that hand hygiene practices and the COVID-19 fear are affected by gender, as well as the fact that frequent handwashing and hand sanitizer use play a role in skin problems.

 Amaç: Bu araştırma bir üniversite hastanesinde sağlık çalışanlarının COVID-19 korkusu ve el hijyeni uygulama düzeyleri ile COVID-19 korkusu ve el hijyeni uygulamaları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipteki araştırmanın evrenini bir üniversite hastanesinin çeşitli birimlerinde çalışan 50 doktor, 100 hemşire toplam 150 çalışan oluşturmuştur. Çalışmaya gönüllü 97 sağlık çalışanı katılmıştır. Veriler Sağlık Çalışanı Tanıtım Formu, COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ve El Hijyeni Uygulamaları Envanteri ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Kadın çalışanların COVID-19 korku ve el hijyeni uygulama düzeyi puan ortalamaları erkeklere göre daha yüksek saptanmıştır p0.05. Eğitim düzeyine göre COVID-19 korku puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmıştır p0.05. Eğitim düzeyine göre el hijyeni uygulamalarını yapma düzeyi puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır p  0.05. El hijyeni sonrası çalışanların 96.9u en az bir sorun yaşadığını ifade etmiştir. COVID-19 korkusu ile el hijyeni uygulamalarını yapma düzeyi arasında çok zayıf düzeyde pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir r 0.224; p0.05. Sonuç: Bu araştırma el yıkama uygulamalarının ve COVID-19 korkusunun cinsiyet özelliğinden etkilendiğini, sık el yıkama, el dezenfektanı kullanımının cilt sorunlarında rol oynadığını göstermektedir.
