Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study; it is the investigation of pain status in healthcare workers who are at high risk after COVID-19. Methods: A total of 180 healthcare professionals aged 18-65 years who had COVID-19 and were not COVID-19 participated in the study. Data were collected between February and May 2021. During the data collection phase, the "Preliminary Evaluation Form" and the "McGill- Melzack pain Questionnaire (MPQ)", which includes demographic information and information about the COVID-19 situation, were used. Results: It was found that there was no statistically significant difference between the pain questionnaire scale scores between the groups with and without COVID-19 (p=.951). It was determined that the scores of the health technicians were statistically lower than the scores of the nurses-midwives (p=.022). It was found that pain scores did not differ statistically significantly according to gender (p=.947). It has been observed that deep pain is mostly defined in the upper back (36.6%) and lower back (34.4%) region, and superficial pain is defined in the neck (31.1%) region in those who had COVID-19. Conclusion: As a results; In healthcare workers who have had COVID-19, pain was most common in the waist and back regions. Pain did not differ in terms of gender in those who have COVID-19, however, nurses-midwives experienced more pain than health technicians.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı; COVID-19 sonrası yüksek risk altında olan sağlık çalışanlarında ağrı durumunun araştırılmasıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 18-65 yaş arası COVID-19 geçiren ve COVID-19 geçirmeyen toplam 180 sağlık çalışanı katılmıştır. Veriler Şubat-Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Veri toplama aşamasında demografik bilgileri ve COVID-19 durumuna ait bilgileri içeren “Ön Değerlendirme Formu” ve’’McGill-Melzack Ağrı Anketi (MAÖ)’’kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Ağrı anketi ölçek skorlarının COVID-19 geçiren ve geçirmeyen gruplar arasında anlamlı düzeyde farklılaşmadığı bulunmuştur (p=,951). Sağlık teknisyenlerinin puanlarının, hemşirelerin-ebelerin puanlarına göre istatitiksel anlamda düşük olduğu saptanmıştır (p=,022). Ağrı skorlarının cinsiyete göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde farklılık göstermediği bulunmuştur (p=,947). COVID-19 geçirenlerde derin ağrının daha çok sırt (%36.6) ve bel (%34.4) bölgelerinde, yüzeysel ağrının ise boyun (%31,1) bölgesinde tanımlandığı görülmüştür. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak; COVID-19 geçiren sağlık çalışanlarında en çok bel ve sırt bölgelerinde ağrı görülmektedir. COVID-19 geçirenlerde cinsiyet açısından ağrı farklılık göstermediği ve sağlık teknisyenlerinin hemşirelere-ebelere göre daha az ağrı yaşadığı gösterilmiştir.
