description Aim:This study has been planned and performed as a descriptive and cross-sectional study to evaluate the adaptation of nurses working in surgical departments to the isolation precautions.Materials and Methods:The target population of the study included 250 nurses working in the surgical departments of University, State and Private hospitals, and the sample of the study included 144 nurses who were volunteer to participate in the study and who met the sampling criteria. The data were obtained through the “Worker’s Data Form which was developed in line with the literature and experts’ opinion” and “Adaptation Scale To the Isolation Precautions” developed by Tayran (2009), and then these data were evaluated by using appropriate statistical methods within Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 22.00 statistical package programme.Results:The mean age of the surgical nurses participated in the study was 28.9±8.49 years. Of them, 91% were women, 56.3% were university graduate, 58.3% were in profession for less than five years, 81.9% were in the department for less than five years, 32.6% worked in state hospital, 36.1% in university hospital, 31.3% in private hospitals, 34.7% in the ward, 27.8% in operating room, and 37.52% in intensive care. Immediately after the education, the adaptation score of the nurses to the isolation precautions was calculated as 80.389±7.106 over 90 (p<0.05).Conclusion:The adaptation score of the nurses working in surgical departments was higher than that before the education. It has been suggested that the institution should support the adaptation of the nurses to the isolation precautions, education should be planned considering the professional characteristics of the nurses and the factors of the institution, and this training should be repeated with regular intervals.
