Abstract

Healthcare professionals have a major role to play in controlling pandemic such as Covid-19 thathave spread all over the world. In this study, we aimed to determine the views of healthcare professionalsproviding treatment and care to Covid-19 patients. In addition, it was decided by the Süleyman DemirelUniversity Faculty of Medicine Clinical Research Ethics Committee, with the decision dated 174 andnumbered 2020.07.23, it was decided to comply with ethical scientific standards. The descriptive and cross sectional study was carried out between April – May 2020 with a total of 407 healthcare workers, 42.0%were nurses, 30.7% doctors and 27.3% other health workers. The universe of the study consists of 578healthcare workers. The Healthcare professionals' views were evaluated with a questionnaire consisting of Personal Information Form, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale short form and questions determininghealthcare professionals' thoughts before and after pandemics. It was found that 81.1% of the healthcareprofessionals had friends before the Covid-19 pandemic and 73.5% did not receive psychological support.There is a statistical significance between the healthcare professionals participating in the study and theirpsychological support status before the Covid-19 pandemic, and the scale total score and sub-dimensions(p=0.000). Some of the participants stated that they found themselves socially active (n=281), physical(n=249) and psychological (n=200) before the Covid-19 pandemic, but this situation was adversely affectedafter the Covid-19 pandemic. It was observed that the majority of healthcare professionals did not have anexpected negative attitude towards pandemic and cases in the early period. Providing psychological supporttrainings to all healthcare professionals in the period after the Covid-19 pandemic can yield important results.

Özet

Covid-19 gibi tüm dünyaya yayılımı olan salgınların kontrol altına alınmasında sağlık çalışanlarınabüyük görevler düşmektedir. Çalışma Covid-19’lu hastalara tedavi ve bakım veren sağlık çalışanlarınıngörüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Ayrıca Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi KlinikAraştırmalar Etik Kurulundan, 23.07.2020 tarih ve 174 nolu karar ile etik bilimsel standartlar açısındanuygunluğuna karar verilmiştir. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte olan çalışma Nisan–Mayıs 2020 tarihleri arasında%42.0’ı hemşire, %30.7’si doktor ve %27.3’ü diğer sağlık çalışanları olmak üzere toplam 407 sağlıkçalışanıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın evreni 578 sağlık çalışanından oluşmaktadır. Sağlık çalışanlarınıngörüşleri Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği kısa formu ve sağlık çalışanlarının pandemiöncesi ve sonrası düşüncelerini belirleyen sorulardan oluşan anketle değerlendirilmiştir. Sağlık çalışanlarınınCovid-19 salgınından önce %81.1’inin arkadaş gruplarının olduğu ve %73.5’inin psikolojik destek almadığıbulunmuştur. Araştırmaya katılan sağlık çalışanlarının Covid-19 salgını öncesinde psikolojik destek almadurumları ile ölçek toplam puan ve alt boyutları arasında istatistiksel anlamlılık bulunmaktadır (p=0.000).Katılımcıların bazıları Covid-19 salgını öncesi kendilerini sosyal olarak aktif buldukları (n=281), fiziksel(n=249) ve psikolojik (n=200) iyi hissettikleri ancak bu durumun Covid-19 salgınından sonra olumsuz olaraketkilendiğini belirtmişlerdir. Sağlık çalışanlarının çoğunluğunun erken dönemde salgına ve vakalara karşıbeklenen düzeyde olumsuz bir tutum içinde olmadıkları görülmüştür. Covid-19 salgını sonrasında kidönemde sağlık çalışanlarının tamamına psikolojik destek verilmesi önerilebilir.
