Aim: To investigate the Acinetobacter bacteremia outbreak developed in an intensive care unit (ICU) between March 20 to May 15, 2020, examine the risk factors, and re-evaluate ICM retrospectively. Material and Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted to determine the risk factors, pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was performed for analysis of the outbreak, ICM practices were observed by a team, and infection control interventions were undertaken. Results: Acinetobacter bacteremia developed in 17 patients (21.5%) within 79 COVID-19 patients included in the study. The mean age of the bacteremic patients was 67.3 (SD = 14.82) years, and 82.4% of them were male; of these, 15 died, leading to 88.2% mortality. The bacteremia rate was higher compared with a 14-month period preceding the COVID-19 pandemic (17/79 versus 12/580 patients, respectively). PFGE revealed that the outbreak was polyclonal. On multi-variate analysis, the bacteremia development rate was 13.7 and 5.06 times higher with central venous catheter (CVC) use and in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), respectively. The mortality rate was higher in bacteremic patients (p = 0.0016). It was observed that ICMs were not followed completely, especially change of gloves and hand hygiene. Contamination of A. baumannii was observed in 38% of the gloves. Conclusion: COPD and CVC use were determined as risk factors for Acinetobacter bacteremia development, and failures in ICM may have led to cross-contamination of endemic A. baumannii. The outbreak could be controlled within 3 weeks of interventions. © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications.

In the factor questioning section of the questionnaire, questions about the socio demographic characteristics and some properties related to water consumption were used; in the phenomenon inquiry part of the questionnaire, the Water Consumption Behavior Scale consisting of 16 items was used. In the analysis of the data; Mann Whitney-U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. p < 0,05 was accepted as significant in all evaluations. Results: As 1208 people participated in our study. When the participants' total scores on the water consumption behavior scale are examined in terms of various socio-demographic characteristics, the mean total score of women is 49.3±10.58, and that of males is 47.92±11.21(p=0.026).There is no difference between the mean scores in terms of daily water consumption (p=0.051). There is a difference between mean scores as to whether there will be a water shortage in the future (p=0.034).Those who do regular sporting activities and, who consume bottled water have a higher and more significant score. Conclusion: In this study, women exhibit more positive behaviours than men in terms of water consumption. As the amount of daily drinking water consumption increases, scores from the scale increase. It has also been found that regular sporting activities make a positive contribution to the behavior of water consumption. It has been determined that the idea of having water scarcity in the future contributes positively to water consumption awareness and behavior.It may be advisable to educate young people on freshwater resources and water consumption in these topics in educational institutions.Öğe Knowledge and behavior of mothers living in malatya province about breastfeeding their babies(Nobelmedicus, 2020) Güneş G.; Ayhan G.Ö.; Mete B.; Aylaz R.Objective: Breastfeeding is the most appropriate way for healthy growth of infants.
