Abstract

The present study was conducted to determine of the factors affecting the COVID-19 knowledge levels and the status of being diagnosed with COVID-19 in healthcare employees struggling with the pandemic. This study, which was planned in cross-sectional and descriptive-correlational design. The healthcare employees working in hospitals in 6 city centers in the Black Sea Region, which has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Turkey, were included in the study (n=385). It was determined in the present study that 33.85±9.11 (min.20, max.60), 57.9% of the participants were female, 43.4% were nurses, and 47% were infected with coronavirus. It was found that the factors that affected the coronavirus knowledge scores of health employees significantly were being diagnosed with COVID-19, presence of chronic diseases, receiving psychological support, female gender, and fighting COVID-19 in the front line. The risk factors for being infected with coronavirus disease were found to be the lack of personal protective equipment, unit worked at, and N95 mask replacement time (p

Özet

Bu çalışma, pandemi ile mücadele eden sağlık çalışanlarının COVID-19 bilgi düzeyleri ve COVID-19 tanısı alma durumlarını etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma, kesitsel ve ilişki arayıcı desende planlandı. Türkiye’deki COVID-19 vaka sayısının en fazla olduğu Karadeniz Bölgesindeki altı il merkezinde yer alan hastanelerde görev yapan sağlık çalışanları araştırmaya dahil edildi (n=385). Çalışmada, katılımcıların yaş ortalamasının 33.85±9.11 (min.20, max.60), %57.9’unun kadın, %43.4’ünün hemşire ve %47’sinin koronavirüs ile enfekte olduğu belirlendi. Sağlık çalışanlarının koronavirüs bilgi puanını önemli ölçüde etkileyen faktörlerin; COVID-19 tanısı almış olmak, kronik hastalık varlığı, psikolojik destek almış olma, kadın cinsiyet ve COVID-19 ile ön safhada mücadele etmek (front line) olduğu bulunmuştur. Koronavirüs hastalığına yakalanmada risk faktörlerinin; kişisel koruyucu ekipman eksikliği, çalışılan birim ve N95 maske değişim süresi olduğu belirlenmiştir (p
