Abstract

Introduction: We aimed to examine depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress levels and their relationship with sociodemographic and occupational variables in health care workers who have been on duty during the COVID-19 outbreak, in a university hospital. Materials and Methods: 131 health care workers included in the study during May to July 2020. We used sociodemographic data form, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Impact of Events Scale- Revised for data collection. Results: 13.7% of the participants had symptoms of depression and 26.7% of them had generalized anxiety symptoms. 26.4% of them experienced mild and more severe post-traumatic stress symptoms. According to logistic regression analysis: having a relative or colleague with the diagnose COVID-19, insufficient knowledge about infection prevention predict post-traumatic stress, depression and generalized anxiety; discordance with co-workers is related to post-traumatic stress and depression symptoms; persons who have less professional experience and have a history of psychiatric illness experience intenser post-traumatic stress and generalized anxiety symptoms; insufficient personal protective equipment supply is connected to higher post-traumatic stress levels and discordance with the team leader predicts generalized anxiety. Discussion: In risky periods such as outbreaks, informing health care workers about how to protect them from threats, providing adequate and appropriate personal protective equipment, providing a positive working environment and good leadership practices seem to protect health care workers from psychopathologies like depression, post-traumatic stress and generalized anxiety.

Özet

Amaç: COVID-19 salgını sırasında bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan sağlık çalışanlarında depresyon, anksiyete ve travma sonrası stres seviyelerini ve bunların sosyodemografik ve mesleki değişkenler ile ilişkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 131 sağlık çalışanı, Mayıs- Temmuz 2020 tarihleri arasında çalışmaya alınmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyodemografik veri formu, Hasta Sağlık Anketi-9, Yaygın Anksiyete Bozukluğu-7, Olayların Etkisi Ölçeği- Gözden geçirilmiş formu kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %13.7’si depresyon, %26.7’si yaygın anksiyete belirtileri göstermektedir. %26.4’ü hafif düzeyde ve daha şiddetli travma sonrası stres bozukluğu (TSSB) belirtileri yaşamaktadır. Lojistik regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre: kişinin bir yakınının veya meslektaşının COVID-19 geçirmesinin, enfeksiyon bulaşından korunma ile ilgili bilgisinin yetersiz olmasının TSSB, depresyon ve yaygın anksiyeteyi yordadığı; çalışma arkadaşları ile uyumsuzluğun TSSB ve depresyon belirtileri ile ilişkili olduğu; mesleki tecrübesi az olanların ve geçmiş psikiyatrik hastalık öykü olanların daha yüksek TSSB ve yaygın anksiyete belirtileri yaşadığı; kişisel koruyucu ekipman teminindeki yetersizliklerin daha şiddetli TSSB belirtileri ile, ekip lideri ile uyumsuzluğun daha şiddetli yaygın anksiyete belirtileri ile ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Salgınlar gibi riskli dönemlerde sağlık çalışanlarının tehlikeden nasıl korunacaklarına dair bilgilendirilmesi, yeterli ve uygun kişisel koruyucu ekipman sağlanması, olumlu bir çalışma ortamı sağlanması ile iyi liderlik uygulamaları psikopatoloji gelişiminden koruyucu görünmektedir.
