Abstract

Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the impact of the novel coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) on the family and social lives of frontline healthcare workers during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: A total of 136 frontline healthcare workers working in COVID-19 clinics and wards, intensive care units (ICUs), and emergency units were included. A questionnaire consisting of 19 questions was applied to all participants through face-to-face interviews. The demographic and occupational characteristics and family and social lives of the participants were documented. Results: While 95 (69.9%) of the participants experienced negative consequences in their family life, 91 (66.9%) of them were found to have negative consequences in their social life. 51 of the healthcare professionals (37.5%) used spirituality as a strategy to cope with negative thoughts and emotions. During the pandemic, a statistically significant relationship was found between frontline work and family life, especially for those with children. Conclusion: The family and social lives of healthcare professionals who care for patients with Covid are adversely affected.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, yeni koronavirüs-2019' un (COVID-19) pandemi sırasında ön saflardaki sağlık çalışanlarının aile ve sosyal yaşamları üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirme amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: COVID-19 klinikleri ve servislerinde, yoğun bakım ünitelerinde (YBÜ'ler) ve acil ünitelerde çalışan toplam 136 ön saf sağlık çalışanı dahil edilmiştir. Tüm katılımcılara yüz yüze görüşme yoluyla 19 sorudan oluşan soru formu uygulanmıştır. Katılımcıların demografik ve mesleki özellikleri, aile ve sosyal yaşamları belgelendi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 95'i (%69,9) aile yaşamında olumsuz sonuçlar yaşarken, 91'i (%66,9) sosyal yaşamda olumsuz sonuçlar yaşadığı saptanmıştır. Sağlık çalışanlarından 51 kişisi (%37,5) maneviyatı, olumsuz düşünce ve duygularla başa çıkmak için bir strateji olarak kullanmıştır. Pandemi sırasında, özellikle çocuk sahibi olanlar için ön saf çalışma ve aile hayatı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Covid’li hastaların bakımını yapan sağlık çalışanlarının aile ve sosyal yaşantıları olumsuz yönde etkilendiği belirlenmiştir.
