Abstract

Aim: Health professionals who have direct contact with patients, provide primary care, and have the longest contact time are nurses. The pandemic caused by Covid-19, a virus with high mortality and high spreading rate have caused anxiety and fear in the nurses. This study aimed to evaluate the anxiety and experience of the nurses who care for the patients diagnosed with Covid-19. Method: This study was carried out based on cross-sectional research principles. This study was carried out with 327 nurses providing care to the hospitalized patients diagnosed with Covid-19. Results: The nurses stated that 70.6% of them had increased anxiety, 63.9% of the nurses stated that there was a change in sleep patterns and 51.1% of the nurses stated that they were concerned about the transmission of this disease to themselves while giving care to the patient diagnosed with Covid-19. Approximately half of the nurses (49.5%) stated that they needed psychological support. Conclusion and Suggestions: Nurses experience problems such as impaired sleep pattern, increased anxiety level, and increased fear and anxiety about transmitting the virus to themselves, their families, loved ones, friends and colleagues. For this reason, nurses who care for the patients diagnosed with Covid-19 should be evaluated periodically in terms of psychological health with a risk approach and should be supported psychologically when necessary. In order to ensure that nurses cope with these problems and work efficiently during the Covid-19 pandemic process.

Özet

Amaç: Hastalara doğrudan temas eden ve birincil bakımı sağlayan; hastalarla en uzun temas süresini geçiren sağlık profesyonelleri hemşirelerdir. Mortalitesi, yayılım hızı yüksek olan, Covid-19’ un neden olduğu pandemi hemşirelerde kaygı ve korkuya yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Covid-19 tanısıyla hastaneye yatan bir hastaya bakım veren hemşirelerin Covid-19 sürecinde kaygılarını ve deneyimlerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu araştırma kesitsel araştırma ilkelerine göre yapılmıştır. Bu araştırma Covid- 19 tanısıyla hastanede yatan hastalara bakım veren 327 hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin %63.9’u uyku düzeninde değişiklik olduğunu, %70.6’sı anksiyetesinin arttığını, %51.1’i Covid-19 tanısıyla yatan hastaya bakım verirken bu hastalığın kendine bulaşması ile ilgili kaygı duyduğunu belirtmiştir. Hemşirelerin yaklaşık yarısı(%49.5) psikolojik desteğe ihtiyaç duyduğunu ifade etmiştir. Sonuç ve Önerileri: Covid- 19 pandemisi sürecinin etkili bir şekilde yönetilmesinde öncül rol alan hemşireler bu süreçte uyku düzeninde bozulma, anksiyete düzeyinde artma, virüsün kendilerine bulaşması, ailelerine, sevdiklerine, arkadaşlarına ve meslektaşlarına bu virüsü bulaştırmaya yönelik korku ve kaygı yaşama gibi sorunlar yaşamaktadırlar. Hemşirelerin bu sorunlarla baş etmelerinin ve Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde etkili bir şekilde çalışmalarının sağlanması için belirli aralıklarla risk yaklaşımı ile hemşirelerin ruhsal sağlık durumları değerlendirilmeli ve ihtiyaç duyan hemşirelere psikolojik destek sağlanmalıdır.
