Amaç: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı desenli çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul ilinde yer alan bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde çalışan ameliyathane hemşirelerinin, güncel sütür materyallerine yönelik bilgileri ile kullanımı sırasında karşılaştıkları sorunların belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın evrenini Aralık 2022-Mart 2023 tarihleri arasında Başakşehir Çam ve Sakura Şehir Hastanesinde en az 1 yıllık deneyime sahip olan 150 ameliyathane hemşiresi oluşturdu. Çalışmanın verileri, araştırmacılar tarafından literatür doğrultusunda geliştirilen ve üç bölümden oluşan yapılandırılmış anket formu ile elde edildi. Verilen değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, bilgi puanı ile sürekli değişkenler için Pearson korelasyon, ikili gruplar arasındaki ilişkide Independent Sample t-test, üç ve üzeri gruplar arasındaki ilişkide ise tek yönlü varyans analizi testleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmada hemşirelerin %40'ının sütür materyallerine yönelik bir eğitime katıldığı, %94'ünün sütür materyallerine yönelik bir eğitim almak istediği bulundu. Ameliyathane hemşirelerinin sütür materyali ile cerrahi iğneler bilgi puan ortalaması 39,22±7,11 (minimum: 0, maksimum: 49) ile yüksekti. Kadınların bilgi puan ortalaması, erkek hemşirelerden istatistiksel olarak yüksekti (p=0,01). Hemşirelerin %90,7'si sütür materyali seçiminde en önemli kriterin ip ve iğnenin dayanıklı olması, kullanımı sırasında karşılaşılan sorunların ise ipin kopması (%99,3), cerrahi iğnenin bükülüp eğilmesi (%94,7) cevaplarını verdi. Sonuç: Çalışmada hemşirelerin, yarıdan azının sütür materyallerine yönelik bir eğitime katıldığı bulunsa da bilgi puan ortalamaları yüksekti. Ancak bilgilerinin güncellenmesi için ameliyathane hemşirelerine sütür materyalleri ve cerrahi iğnelere yönelik hizmet içi eğitimlerin düzenli olarak düzenlenmesi önerilmektedir.

Objective: This cross-sectional and descriptive study aimed to determine the knowledge of operating room nurses about current suture materials and the problems their use in a training and research hospital in Istanbul province encountered. Material and Methods: The population of the study consisted of 150 operating room nurses who had at least 1 year of experience in Başakşehir Çam ve Sakura City Hospital between December 2022-March 2023. The data were obtained with a structured questionnaire consisting of three sections developed by the researchers. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation for the relationship between knowledge and continuous variable, independent Sample t-test for the relationship between two groups, and one-way analysis of variance tests for the relationship between three or more groups were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: It was found that 40% of the nurses attended training on suture materials and 94% of them wanted to receive training about suture materials. The mean knowledge score of the operating room nurses about suture materials and needles was high at 39.22±7.11 (minimum: 0; maximum: 49). The mean knowledge score of female nurses was statistically higher than male nurses (p=0.01). 90.7% of the nurses answered that the most important criteria in the selection of suture material was the durability of the thread and needle, and the problems encountered during use were thread breakage (99.3%) and bending of the needle (94.7%). Conclusion: Although it was found that less than half of the nurses attended training, their mean knowledge scores were high. To update their knowledge, in-service training on suture materials and needles should be organized regularly.
