Quality Standards in Health, Knowledge Level, CBRNAbstract
Aim: Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) threats have an important place in hospital disaster management. It is important for health institutions to make the necessary plans in advance so that they can continue to provide quality and effective health services in CBRN incidents. This research was conducted with the aim of determining the knowledge level of quality unit employees regarding the Health Quality Standards hospital (Version 6.1) CBRN hazard management standards.
Material and methods: The research was conducted in a cross-sectional and descriptive type. The research population consists of provincial quality coordinator employees throughout Turkey and quality unit employees of public, private and university hospitals. The sample size of the research was determined as 341 people. In the study, a survey method created from scales that had previously been tested for validity and reliability was used to collect data. Analysis of the research data was done with the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 22.0 statistical analysis program. In the evaluation of research data, standard deviation, mean, number, percentage calculations, t-test in independent groups, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey HSD multiple comparison test were used.
Results: As a result of repeated reliability analyzes of the scale used in the research, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.922. No significant difference was found between the age, gender, educational background, and length of time working in the quality unit of the participants in the study and the scale average. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the participants' quality and CBRN training status and the scale average (p <0.05). It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the presence of a CBRN unit in the participants' institutions and the scale average (p <0.05).
Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was seen that the quality unit employees' knowledge level regarding SKS Hospital CBRN Hazard Management standards was high. Receiving training on quality and CBRN and the presence of a CBRN unit in the institution where one works affects the level of CBRN knowledge.
