Özet

The research was conducted between July 2021 and October 2022 with nurses working in ICU as a
prospective, pre-test - post-test control group.While the mean score of the hand hygiene belief scale (HHBS)
before the training of the intensive care nurses in the application group was 37.41±7.90, it was found to be
45.10±7.67 after the training. There is a statistically significant difference between the groups' mean scores
(Z= -4.490 p= 0.001). While the average percentage of change in the HHBS score of the nurses in the
application group increased by 18 compared to before and after the training, the percentage of change in
the hand hygiene belief scale average score of the nurses in the control group decreased by 4 compared to
the pre and post-training period (Z= -2.379 p= 0.017). The mean scores of the hand hygiene information
test (HHIT) after the training of the ICU nurses in the application group increased compared to before
(Z=4.707, p=0.001). While the mean HHIT score of the nurses in the control group was 55.54±14.70 before
the training, it was 65.94±11.41 after the training. There is a statistically significant difference between the
mean scores. After the training, the mean HHIT scores of the nurses in the control group increased
compared to before (Z=-3.852, p=0.001). According to the analysis, it was observed that the hand washing
times of the nurses in the application and control groups increased after the training. Since there was an
increase in both groups, this percentage of increase did not create a significant difference between the nurses
in the application and control groups (Z=-0.031, p= 0.975). In line with these findings; it was determined
that the HHBS mean scores of the nurses in the application group increased. the average scores of the
HHIT after the training of the ICU nurses in both the application and control groups increased compared to
before. Hand washing times increased compared to the pre-post-training period.
