Summary

The need for purity belongs to the human needs. Evidence Based Nursing (EBN) is applied even in basic nursing work through the implementation of Evidence Based Practice (EBP). Objective: To determine whether disposable hygiene aids are used within the EBP in hygiene care. Methods: We used quantitative research using interviews, by means of questionnaires of our own design based on a theoretical knowledge of literature and database resources. From a total of 25 questions in the questionnaire, for the purposes of this paper we used only 5 questions related to education in the areas of information sources retrieval including EBN, experience and the use of disposable aids for hygiene care. Data collection took place between February and March 2016. Results: The research showed that disposable aids for hygiene care recommended by EBN are not often used by nurses. Nurses do not have these aids available in their departments or do not know about their existence. Conclusion: In hygiene care provision, nurses follow the standards used by local departments, they use the knowledge gained during the qualification studies, and act according to the customs of their departments. The results show that nurses are not used to hygiene care disposable aids that conform to the recommended requirements of EBP. Unavailability and lack of knowledge of the latest aids for hygiene care are obstacles to the implementation of good practice (which means recommended EBN requirements). The education of the respondents has no significant effect on the use of EBP.
