Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte olan araştırma 1 Nisan-30 Haziran 2015 tarihleri arasında dört eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin ameliyathanelerinde çalışan hemşirelerle gerçekleştirildi (n=105). Araştırma verileri, hemşirelerin sosyo-demografik ve çalışma özellikleri, cerrahi duman riskleri ve bu risklerden korunmaya yönelik aldıkları önlemleri içeren 15 sorudan oluşan veri toplama formu ile toplandı. Veriler sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma gibi tanımlayıcı istatistiklerle değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 34,61±5,83 olan hemşirelerin ameliyathane ortamında cerrahi dumana maruz kalmaya bağlı baş ağrısı (%61,9), baş dönmesi (%32,4), gözlerde sulanma (%54,3), boğazda yanma (%43,8), öksürük (%41,0) gibi sorunlar yaşadıkları belirlendi. Hemşirelerin %90,5'i çalıştıkları ameliyathanelerde genel havalandırma sisteminin olduğunu, %89,5'i duman tahliye cihazının olmadığını, cihaz bulunan ameliyathanelerde çalışan hemşirelerin ise sadece %45,5'i cihazın kullanıldığını ve %72,4'ü cerrahi duman çıkaran aletler üzerinde filtre olmadığını ya da varsa bilmediklerini belirtti. Katılımcıların %96,2'si cerrahi dumandan korunmak için ameliyathanelerinde mevcut bir protokolün olmadığını ya da böyle bir protokol varsa da bilmediklerini belirtti. Cerrahi dumandan korunmak için hemşirelerin %85,7'sinin cerrahi maske kullandıkları belirlendi. Sonuç: Ameliyathanelerde cerrahi dumandan korunmaya yönelik alınan önlemlerin yetersiz olduğu ve hemşirelerin buna bağlı semptomlar yaşadığı görüldü. Ameliyathanelerde cerrahi dumandan korunmaya yönelik önlemlerin alınması ve yazılı protokollerin oluşturulması önerilmektedir.

Method: The descriptive study was conducted with the participation of 148 nurses working in operating rooms. A questionnaire structured by the researchers was used as the data collection tool. The data was analyzed using the statistical program SPSS 21.0. Statistical comparisons were made using Kruskall Wallis, Mann Whitney U, Student t, Pearson Correlation and Chi-square tests.
