Abstract

Objective: The coronavirus disease (COVID 19) is a significant problem that affects occupational fatigue and stress level of nurses working at the forefront of the pandemic. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between occupational fatigue and perceived stress level among nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1441 nurses between May 23 and June 7, 2020 using online questionnaire in Turkey. Results: Nurses' occupational fatigue scale scores were moderate to high in chronic and acute fatigue sub-dimensions and moderate to low in the recovery sub-dimension. Furthermore, the average stress level perceived by nurses was reported to be high in this study. Conclusion: It is extremely important for long working hours to be addressed so that nurses can recover and cope with stress during this ongoing pandemic.

Özet

Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID 19), pandemide ön planda çalışan hemşirelerin mesleki yorgunluk ve stres düzeylerini etkileyen önemli bir sorundur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde hemşirelerde mesleki yorgunluk ile algılanan stres düzeyi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemekti. Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma, Türkiye'de 23 Mayıs-7 Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında 1441 hemşire üzerinde çevrimiçi anket kullanılarak yapıldı. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin mesleki yorgunluk ölçeği puanları kronik ve akut yorgunluk alt boyutlarında orta ile yüksek, iyileşme alt boyutunda orta ile düşük arasındaydı. Ayrıca bu çalışmada hemşirelerin algıladıkları ortalama stres düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Süregelen bu pandemi sürecinde hemşirelerin kendilerini toparlayabilmeleri ve stresle baş edebilmeleri için uzun çalışma saatlerinin ele alınması son derece önemlidir.
