Abstract [sv]

Multiresistent Stafylokock aureus (MRSA) är en mycket smittsam bakterie som ökar på sjukhusen. En faktor till detta är att handhygien hos sjukvårdspersonal brister. Syftet med studien var att beskriva vilken kunskap sjuksköterskor hade om MRSA och hygienrutiner, samt att jämföra om sjuksköterskors kunskap skiljer sig åt beroende på vilket sjukhus de arbetar. Studien riktade sig till sjuksköterskor på fyra olika dialysavdelningar. Datainsamlingen gjordes via en enkät som delades ut till 141 sjuksköterskor, varav 86 besvarade enkäten. Sjuksköterskornas kompetens har grupperats i kategorier (låg, måttlig och hög kompetens) utifrån antalet rätt på enkäten. Resultatet visade att majoriteten av sjuksköterskorna hade goda kunskaper och då speciellt om ingångskälla och att engångsförkläde skyddar mot spridning. Dock visade det sig att det brister när det gäller kunskaper om infektionstecken och om MRSA kan behandlas. Vid jämförelse visade det sig att det inte fanns någon skillnad i andelen med måttlig kompetens mellan sjukhusen. Däremot fanns en signifikant skillnad i gruppen med hög kompetens.

Abstract [en]

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a very contagious bacterium which is increasing in hospitals. One reason for this is poor hand hygiene among the medical staff. The aim of this study was to find out how much nurses know about MRSA and hygiene routines and to examine if the knowledge differs between nurses in different hospitals. The study was directed to nurses in four different dialysis divisions. The data was collected from through a questionnaire, which was distributed to 141 nurses, of which 86 answered. Based on the numbers of correct answers given in the questionnaire the competence of the nurses was divided into different categories (low, average and high competence).The result of the questionnaire showed that the majority of the nurses has a good knowledge of MRSA, in particular when it comes to enter source and the protection against spread disposable aprons give. However, the result also showed that nurses do not have sufficient knowledge of the signs of MRSA and if the infection can be treated. On comparison, no difference in number of average competence between the different hospitals was found. However, there was a significant difference in the group with high competence.
