Abstract

Tourniquet is a tool shaped like a rope that is used as a means of supporting health services. Serves to facilitate the search for veins, and improve needle access to the target vein, and facilitate the collection of sufficient blood samples in a short time. The use of tourniquets is usually alternated and repeated between patients without being cleaned or disinfected first, so it has the potential for transmission of pathogens to patients. The transmission occurs because the tourniquet used often comes into contact with the skin of patients, health workers and is contaminated with the surrounding environment. One of the bacteria that can cause skin infections is Streptococcus sp. These bacteria can cause various diseases in humans, ranging from mild skin surface infections to life-threatening systemic diseases.This study aims to identify the presence of Streptococcus sp bacterial contamination on tourniquets at Surakarta area clinic. The design of this research is descriptive, the sampling technique uses quota sampling and questionnaires with a sample of 15 tourniquets. The research method used is the swab method on the part of the tourniquet that is in contact with the patient's skin. The results showed that there was no Streptococcus sp bacterial contamination found on the tourniquet at the clinic in the Surakarta area. The results obtained are gram positive rods with a percentage of 47% and gram negative rods with a percentage of 47%, while Staphylococcus sp bacteria with a percentage of 6%. Based on research results the results showed that there was no Streptococcus sp bacterial contamination found on the tourniquet at Surakarta area clinic.
