Abstract

Çin’in Wuhan eyaletinde ortaya çıkan ve hastalığın yüksek bulaşıcılığı ve hızlı yayılımından dolayı bir ay içerisinde Çin’in diğer kısımlarında ve farklı ülkelerde de görülen ardından Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından pandemi olarak ilan edilen Covid-19 salgını, tüm dünyayı etkisi altında bırakmıştır. Başta sağlık olmak üzere ekonomik ve sosyal kayıpların doğması ile kendini göstermiş ve yirmi birinci yüzyılda yaşanan küresel bir afet olarak kayıtlarda yer almıştır. Hastalık ile bilinmezlikler ve olası ölümcül sonuçlardan dolayı oluşan korku insan hayatını derinden etkilemiştir. Söz konusu salgında, sağlık çalışanları, salgının hem direkt hem de dolaylı olumsuzluklarından etkilenmişlerdir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmada amacımız, risk altında bulunan sağlık çalışanlarının karşılaşabilecekleri durumlar ortaya koymaktır. Böylece farkındalığın artması, gerekli eğitimlerin verilmesi ve benzer durumlarda önlemlerin daha erken alınması ve uygulanması ve bunların afet planlarına dahil edilmesi öngörülmektedir.

The Covid-19 disease, declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, which occurred in Wuhan province of China and was seen in other parts of China and in different countries within a month due to the high contagiousness and rapid spread of the disease, has left the whole world under its influence. It manifested itself with the birth of economic and social losses, especially health, and it was included in the records as a global disaster in the twenty-first century. Fear caused by uncertainties about illness and possible fatal consequences has profoundly affected human life. In this outbreak, healthcare workers were affected by both direct and indirect negativities of the pandemic. In this context, in this study, our aim is to reveal situations that healthcare professionals at risk may encounter. Thus, it is envisaged to increase awareness, to provide the necessary trainings and to take and implement measures earlier in similar situations and to include them in disaster plans.
