Hasta ve Yakınlarının Eğitiminde COVID-19: Hemşireler Ne Anlatmalı?

Abstract

Günümüzün küresel felaketi haline gelen COVID-19 yaşamsal önem arz etmesi nedeniyle sağlık sorunları içinde ilk sıraya geçerek insanların davranış biçimlerini ve sağlık bakım gereksinimlerini önemli derecede etkilemiştir. Toplumdaki bireyleri enfeksiyondan korumak ve COVID-19 şüphesi olan ya da tanısı doğrulanmış bireylerin enfeksiyonu yaymasını önlemek için hasta ve yakınlarının COVID-19 hakkında bilgilendirilmesi, eğitici rolü açısından hemşirelere önemli sorumluluklar yüklemektedir. Hastanın bakımından sorumlu olan hemşirelerin hem hastalara hem de aynı zamanda toplumun sağlıklı bireyleri olan hasta yakınlarına eğitim vermesi gerekmektedir. Bu gereksinimden yola çıkarak yazılan bu derleme güncel rehberler doğrultusunda hazırlanmıştır.
