Giriş: Çalışmanın temel amacı, tıp öğrencilerinde stetoskop, cep telefonu ve ellerde bulunan bakteriyel kontaminasyonun antibiyotik duyarlılıkları ile birlikte öğrencilerin kendi bildirdiği temizlik uygulamaları düzeyini araştırmaktır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastane ortamında gönüllü tıp öğrencilerinin (n=66, %75,8) ve hemşirelik öğrencilerinin (n=21, %24,2) stetoskop, cep telefonu ve elinden 87 sürüntü örneği alındı. Sürüntü örnekleri toplanarak mikrobiyoloji laboratuvarına nakledildi ve uygun besiyerlerinde kültüre edildi. İzole edilen bakteriler, standart mikrobiyolojik prosedürlere göre tanımlandı.

Bulgular: Beş bakteri türü izole edildi ve tanımlandı. En yüksek kontaminasyon ellerde (%37) bulundu ve takiben cep telefonlarında (%32) ve stetoskoplarda (%31) bulundu. İzolatlar, test edilen çoğu antibiyotiğe karşı oldukça dirençliydi. Öğrencilerin sadece yedisi (%8) hastalar arasında stetoskoplarını temizlemekteydi ve daha da endişe verici bir şekilde 33’ü (%38) stetoskoplarını hiç temizlemiyordu. Elli sekizi (%67) stetoskoplarını etkili bir şekilde nasıl temizleyeceğini bilmiyordu. Mevcut çalışma, öğrencilerin bilgileri ile hastanelerdeki uygun hijyen uygulamaları arasında bir boşluk olduğunu göstermektedir.

Sonuç: Eller, patojenik bakterilerin ana kaynağıdır ve stetoskoplar ve cep telefonlarından daha yüksek bakteriyel kontaminasyona sahiptir. Hastanelerde tıbbi cihazların, cep telefonlarının ve ellerin dezenfekte edilmesinin önemi konusunda öğrenciler ve sağlık çalışanlarında farkındalığın artırılması gerekmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Tıp öğrencileri, hemşirelik öğrencileri, stetoskop, cep telefonu, el hijyeni, hastane enfeksiyonu
