How can we gain the habit of hand washing to society?
As it is known, June 15 is the El World Hand Hygiene Day ”and it is also determined as the El World Hand Washing Day de on October 15 globally. to create awareness about the easiest, cheapest, most practical method and to minimize ”Antibiotic Resistance Deaths olan which is an important problem with infections and estimated to be more than cancer deaths.
You may have wondered why I started writing with such an ambitious question. I wish you could say this question strongly, no teacher, we have this habit. Today, I think that one of the most important basic habits we need to gain for our children is “Hand Washing Habit”.
In 1843, Oliver Wendel Holmes reported that the puerperal fever spread because the hands of the health personnel were dirty. In 1846, Doctor Ignaz Sommelweis emphasized the importance of handwashing, reducing maternal mortality by providing handwashing to his assistants after autopsy and after birth.
As it is known, there are permanent and non-harmful permanent flora (natural germ cover) in our hands and temporary flora which causes the spread of diseases. What matters is my struggle with this temporary flora. Between the fingers, palms, under the rings, nail bottoms, nail tips, etc. important risk areas. By hand washing according to the method, temporary flora germs causing diseases in these areas are significantly reduced or even disappeared. Our main goal of hand hygiene is not only cleaning hands, but keeping them clean. Soaps, which are detergent-based products, are the main products we use for this purpose. Dirt and organic residues are removed due to this feature. It should be noted that the antimicrobial properties of soaps and detergents are slightly less than those of other antimicrobial properties. They may cause skin dryness and irritation. They can infect. If you use solid soap, this soap should be personal. Here is an important point you want to specify; Sıvı Liquid soap should be used if possible. ”Soap should not be left out and liquid soap should be consumed according to the methods of use of the manufacturer. Here are some important things to consider when washing our hands:
* Our hands should be washed with plain soap and water if they are markedly and visibly contaminated, otherwise do not have antimicrobial properties.
* If there is no visible contamination of hands, it can be rubbed with a solution containing alcohol.
* Immediately after contact with inanimate surfaces, the hands can be rubbed in the same way (or the same process can be done with alcohol wipes).
* Our hands before and after meals and toilets or out of the rest room, door handles, paper money, cell phone, toilet seat covers, etc. In case of contact, wash with antimicrobial soap or plain soap (this should be wiped with alcohol-containing wipes) for at least thirty seconds.
* Wet wipes including antimicrobial disinfectant can be used instead of soap and non-antimicrobial washing.
* If we use an alcohol-based solution, the solution is placed in the palm of one hand, the two hands are joined by rubbing the entire surface of the hand and fingers until the hand is dry. If we are to wash our hands with soap and water, the tap is opened with a disposable (disposable) paper towel, soaking our hands with enough water, defending the recommended amount of liquid in the same way, hand surfaces are rubbed for at least 15 seconds and then rinsed with water. . Dry with paper towel, tap off with paper towel. It should be preferred not to use hot water (in terms of wound, beret risk). Washing and rinsing should be at least 30 seconds.
* If we do not have the possibility to use antimicrobial soap (which is not really necessary outside the hospital), we can use liquid soap, preferably plain soap in the form of mold, leaves or powder. If we prefer mold soap, it is useful to use soap containers and small soap molds where the foam can flow.
* Hanging or roll type fabric towels that can be used more than one in health units should not be used.
Conclusion and interpretation: I tried to clarify the crucial and essential points without being too technical. If we prepare handwashing, which is an important element of cleaning, in our people's brain, we will get significant distance from every direction. Here too, the media has an important duty. Our goal should be a clean nature, clean society in every way. For this, let's wash our hands without getting tired!
