The data of the study were collected through an online questionnaire between 1 February 2021 and 1May 2021, and 236 nurses participated in the research. Frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: Nurses’ attitudes toward COVID-19; 41.5% “afraid of occupational exposure due to COVID-19 infection”, 52.5% “afraid of infect their family members by occupational exposure infection”, 45.8% “feeling themselves depressed/tired due to current pandemic” , 38.6% “feeling stressed is affecting their duties”, 41.1% “emotions of stress is affecting their relationship with their colleagues and family members”.

Özet

Amaç: Araştırma, şehir hastanesinde görev yapan hemşirelerin COVID-19'a yönelik bilgi, tutum ve uygulamalarını belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmacılar tarafından literatür doğrultusunda “Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu”, “COVID-19’a Yönelik Bilgi, Tutum ve Davranışlar Anket Formu” oluşturulmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri 1 Şubat 2021-1 Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında çevrimiçi anket aracılığı ile toplanmış ve araştırmaya 236 hemşire katılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde frekans, yüzde, ortalama ve standart sapma kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin COVID-19'a karşı tutumları; %41.5’i “mesleki maruziyet nedeniyle COVID-19 bulaşmasından korktuğunu”, %52.5’i “mesleki maruziyet nedeniyle aile üyelerine enfeksiyon bulaştırmaktan korktuğunu”, %45.8’i “pandemi nedeniyle kendilerini depresyonda/bitkin hissettiğini”, %38.6’sı “stres duygularının görevlerini etkilediğini”, %41.1’i “stres duygularının iş arkadaşları ve aile üyeleri ile ilişkilerini etkilendiğini” ifade etmiştir. Hemşirelerin COVID-19’u önlemeye yönelik uygulamalarının; %56.4’ünün “bir hastaya dokunmadan önce alkol bazlı el dezenfektanı veya sabun ve su kullanma”, %60.6’sının “bakım sırasında kişisel koruyucu ekipmanları kullanma”, %32.6’sının “solunum semptomları olan hastalarla yakın temastan kaçınma” olduğu belirlendi. Hemşirelerin %46.6’sının “son 14 gün içinde enfekte bölgelere seyahat eden veya COVID-19 vakasıyla temas öyküsü olan", %44.1’inin "ateş, kuru öksürük ve nefes darlığı gibi COVID-19'un şüpheli belirtilerini yaşayan", %46.6’sının “şüpheli maruziyet nedeniyle paniğe kapılan” bireylerin laboratuar testi yaptırmaları gerektiğini ifade etmiştir. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin koronavirüs hastalığına (COVID-19) yönelik bilgi, tutum ve uygulamalarının yeterli düzeyde olduğu saptanmıştır
