| Aim: The present study aimed to investigate surgical fires as well as the precautions taken in theprevention of fire in four training and research hospitals in the Western Black Sea Region and EasternMarmara Region.Method: The descriptive study was conducted with the participation of 148 nurses working in operatingrooms. A questionnaire structured by the researchers was used as the data collection tool. The datawas analyzed using the statistical program SPSS 21.0. Statistical comparisons were made using KruskallWallis, Mann Whitney U, Student t, Pearson Correlation and Chi-square tests. The confidence interval waspredetermined to be <0.05.Results: Of the nurses, the mean age was 35.00±5.88 years. Only one of the nurses had dealt with asurgical fire, but nearly half of the nurses (46.3%) referenced burns which their patients were exposedto during surgery. Regarding the prevalence of burns, 86.4% of the nurses who had faced burns definedit as a very rare situation.The mean score that the nurses obtained from the list of measures taken forthe prevention of surgical fire and burns was 51.45±16.06 (min.-max.: 20-88) and their knowledge wasdetermined to be moderate.Conclusions: The present study determined that most operating room nurses take some precautions forfire safety, but these are insufficient and lacking. |
