Özet
Pandemi gibi afet ya da kriz durumlarında görev yapmak, özellikle sağlık çalışanları için insanlığa hizmet etmek bakış açısıyla tatmin edici olmakla birlikte, bakım verdiği hastaların, kendi yakınlarının ya da iş arkadaşlarının şiddetli hastalıkla beraber acı çekme veya ölüm sürecine tanıklık etme gibi durumlar nedeniyle ruh sağlıklarının olumsuz etkilenmesine ya da psikiyatrik travma yaşanmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu bağlamda COVID-19 salgını ile mücadelenin ön saflarında yer alıp, hastalara 24 saat bakım sağlayan meslek gruplarından biri olan hemşireler psikolojik açısından risk altındadır. Anksiyete, depresyon, uyku bozuklukları, kronik yorgunluk, sekonder travmaya stres tepkileri ve merhamet yorgunluğu, bu kriz döneminde ön safta çalışan hemşireler için yaygın psikolojik ve sosyal sorunlardır. Hemşirelerin ruh sağlığını korumak için psikiyatrik hastalık belirtilerinin farkında olmaları, fiziksel ve psikolojik stresle baş etme, kişisel öz bakım ve profesyonel öz bakım konularında destek almaları önemlidir. Önleyici tedbirlerin yetersiz kaldığı durumlarda iş arkadaşlarının desteğinin alınması, işyerindeki sorumlu kişilerin bilgilendirilmesi, eylem planının geliştirilmesi ve profesyonel psikiyatri desteği alınması önerilebilir. Pandemi ile mücadele sürecinde sağlık ekibi içerisinde devamlı ön saflarda bulunan hemşirelerin bu süreç boyunca ailelerinden uzak kalmaları, yıllık izin kullanılamaması, bulaş riski bulunan ortamlarda sürekli mesai yapıp, vakit geçirmeleri gibi nedenlerle birçok sorun ile karşılaşması kaçınılmaz olmuştur. Hemşirelerin bu dönemde özellikle psikolojik olarak tükenme noktalarına gelmeleri, mesleklerine ilişkin gelecek planları yapmasını engellemiştir. Ayrıca, en yakın aile bireylerinden uzak kalıp destek alamadan sürekli olarak çalışmaları tükenmişlik durumunu da beraberinde getirmiştir. Yapılan bazı çalışmalarda hemşireler mesleklerine ilişkin olarak gelecek kaygıları taşıdığı, mesleki anlamda ilerlemekle ilgili plan yapmak yerine mesleklerini bırakmayı düşündükleri bilinmektedir. Türkiye'de ve dünyanın farklı ülkelerinde emekli olmuş olan hemşirelerin görevlerine davet edilmeleri bu iddiayı kanıtlar niteliktedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında özellikle Türkiye'de Covid-19 pandemisiyle mücadele eden hemşirelerin yaşadıkları bireysel sorunların mesleki gelişimlerine etkisi ve bu durumdan kaynaklanan süreç incelenmeye çalışılmıştır.
While working in disaster or crisis situations such as a pandemic is satisfying, especially for healthcare professionals, from a service point of view, the mental health of the patients they care for, their relatives or colleagues suffer from severe illness or witness the death process negatively. affect or cause psychiatric trauma. In this context, nurses, who are at the forefront of the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic and provide 24-hour care to patients, are at psychological risk. Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue, stress responses to secondary trauma, and compassion fatigue are common psychological and social problems for frontline nurses during this crisis. It is important for nurses to be aware of the symptoms of psychiatric illness, to cope with physical and psychological stress, to receive support in personal self-care and professional self-care in order to protect their mental health. In cases where preventive measures are insufficient, it may be recommended to get the support of colleagues, to inform the responsible persons in the workplace, to develop an action plan and to receive professional psychiatry support. During the fight against the pandemic, it has become inevitable for the nurses, who are always at the forefront of the healthcare team, to face many problems due to staying away from their families during this process, not being able to take annual leave, working overtime and spending time in environments where there is a risk of contamination.The fact that nurses came to the point of psychological exhaustion during this period prevented them from making future plans for their profession. In addition, being away from the closest family members and working continuously without getting support has brought with it the state of burnout. In some studies, it is known that nurses have concerns about the future of their profession, and they think about quitting their profession instead of making plans for professional advancement. The invitation of retired nurses to their duties in Turkey and in different countries of the world proves this claim. Within the scope of this study, the effect of the individual problems experienced by nurses who are struggling with the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in Turkey, on their professional development and the process arising from this situation were tried to be examined.
