THE EPIDEMIOLOGY, CLINICAL FEATURES AND NURSING CARE OF EBOLA

Year 2015, Volume: 31 Issue: 3, 90 - 98, 01.11.2015

Abstract

While ebola was seen sporadically in Africa for a long time, it emerged at a pandemic level in March, 2014. Zaire ebolaviruse is responsible for the recent epidemic and fatality rate has reached 74%. Disease is transmitted by direct contact with some wild animals such as chimpanzee, gorilla, fruit bats, antelopes or with bodily fluids or skin of agent bearing patients / people who lost their lives from disease. In terms of protection, not only the health systems must be configured properly, but also the formal or informal caregivers must comply with the contact precautions. It is of great importance for the nurses to know how to manage the symptoms of individuals who have been diagnosed with Ebola while giving nursing care in accordance with contact precautions in order both to prevent the transmission of disease and to increase the likelihood of patient survival. Therefore, it is expected that this article to contribute for nurses in terms of protection from Ebola and symptom managment

EBOLA EPİDEMİYOLOJİSİ, KLİNİK ÖZELLİKLERİ VE HEMŞİRELİK BAKIMI

Abstract

Ebola, Afrika’da uzun bir süreden beri sporadik düzeyde görülürken, 2014 yılı Mart ayında yeniden pandemi düzeyinde ortaya çıkmıştır. Son salgında Zaire Ebolavirüs sorumludur ve öldürücülük hızı %74’e ulaşmıştır. Hastalık, etkenleri taşıyan şempanze, goril, meyve yarasaları, antilop gibi hayvanların ya da hasta/hastalıktan yaşamını yitiren insanların kan, vücut sıvıları ya derisine doğrudan temas ile bulaşmaktadır. Korunma açısından sağlık sistemlerinin uygun bir biçimde yapılandırılması yanında, formal ya da informal bakım vericilerin temas önlemlerine uyması gerekmektedir. Hemşirelerin Ebola tanısı almış bireylere bakım verirken temas önlemlerine bağlı kalarak semptomları nasıl yöneteceklerini bilmeleri, hem bulaştırıcılığı önlemek hem de hastaların yaşama tutunma olasılığını artırmak açısından önemlidir. Dolayısıyla bu makalenin hemşirelere eboladan korunma ve semptom yönetimi açısından katkı sunması beklenmektedir
