Özet

Pandemi gibi tüm dünyayı etkileyen ölümlere neden olan salgınlarda, toplumun psikososyal, ekonomik ve fiziksel kayıplardan etkilenmesinin yanı sıra; topluma en önde ruhsal ve fiziksel hizmet sunan sağlık çalışanları en çok etkilenen grup olmaktadır. Küresel tehdit oluşturan bu tür salgınlar; toplumda endişe, depresyon, ölüm kaygısı, yakınlarını kaybetme endişesi, belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlik gibi psikiyatrik belirtilere, salgın nedeniyle karantina uygulamalarının oluşturduğu psikososoyal ve ekonomik güçlüklere neden olmaktadır. Toplumun yanı sıra, tüm toplumu sosyoekonomik ve ruhsal yönden etkileyen pandemilerde; büyük ölçüde sosyal ve iş sorumluluğu yüklenen sağlık çalışanlarının ruhsal sağlığı da etkilenmektedir. Bu nedenle yazımızda; 2020 yılında tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan COVID-19 pandemisinin, toplum ve sağlık çalışanları üzerindeki ruhsal etkisini ve alınabilecek koruyucu önlemleri derlemeyi planladık.
