Higiena rok v izrednih razmerah : izkušnje ob pandemiji covida-19

Jereb, Gregor (author)

Higiena kot veda o zdravju je ena izmed temeljnih medicinskih ved, ki preučuje vplive na človekovo zdravje. Še posebno v zaostrenih epidemioloških razmerah v zadnjih letih zaradi covida-19 so se ljudje začeli bolj zavedati po-mena izvajanja osnovnih higienskih ukrepov, ki so bistveni za uspešno obvladovanje pandemije. Pri obvladovanju in predvsem omejevanju širjenja virusa SARS-CoV-2 je zelo pomembna tudi ustrezna izvedba postopkov higiene rok. Umivanje in tudi razkuževanje rok sta pomembna higienska ukrepa, ki ju sicer dobro poznamo, vendar ne izvajamo dovolj natančno, predvsem pa ne vedno, ko je to treba. V prispevku so predstavljeni rezultati raziskave na vzorcu 868 ljudi, z njo pa smo preverjali znanje o higieni rok, odnos posameznika do umivanja in razkuževanja rok ter spremembe v odnosu do umivanja in razkuževanja rok zaradi pandemije. Rezultati kažejo, da so številni svoje higienske navade med pandemijo spremenili, kljub temu pa zaznavamo pomanjkljivo znanje tako o umivanju kot tudi razkuževanju rok. Zaskrbljujoč je predvsem delež uporabnikov, ki si roke v domačem okolju še vedno razkužuje.

• Title: Hand hygiene in emergency situations : the covid-19 pandemic experience

Abstract

Hygiene is one of the basic medical sciences that encompasses all aspects and various environmental influences on human health. In the difficult epidemiological situation of recent years (the Covid-19 pandemic), basic hygiene measures again played a crucial role and were a key factor in the successful control of the pandemic. Proper hand hygiene was extremely important in order to control and, most importantly, contain the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Handwashing (and disinfecting) is an important hygiene measure that we all know well, but do not always perform properly, especially when it is necessary. This paper presents the results of a survey of 868 people ad-dressing (1) knowledge about hand hygiene; (2) people’s attitudes towards handwashing and disinfection; and (3) the change in attitudes towards handwashing and disinfection after the pandemic. The results indicate that many have changed their hygiene habits during the pandemic, but that there is a lack of knowledge about handwashing and disinfection. Of particular concern is the proportion of users who still disinfect their hands at home.
