Abstract

COVID-19, which first appeared in China in December 2019, rapidly spread all over the world and caused a pandemic. Although it is difficult to cope with this epidemic in every aspect, the biggest burden is on healthcare personnel and especially nurses. This study focuses on the physical and psychological difficulties experienced by a nurse who was one of the first nurses to catch COVID-19 while serving her patients in Turkey and who has been working as a nurse for 4 months, from diagnosis to the end of treatment process. Due to the fact that a nurse caught Covid-19 is a healthcare worker, it is thought that the physical and psychological problems experienced are greater.

Covid-19 Bulaşan İlk Hemşirelerden Biri Olmak: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

İlk olarak Aralık 2019'da Çin'de ortaya çıkan COVID-19, hızla tüm dünyaya yayıldı ve bir pandemiye neden oldu. Bu salgınla her yönüyle baş etmek zor olsa da en büyük yük sağlık personeli ve özellikle hemşireler üzerindedir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'de hastalarına hizmet verirken COVID-19'a ilk yakalanan hemşirelerden biri olan ve 4 aydır hemşire olarak çalışan bir hemşirenin, tanıdan tedavinin sonuna kadar yaşadığı fiziksel ve psikolojik güçlükler üzerinde durulmuştur. Covid-19'a yakalanan bir hemşirenin sağlık çalışanı olması nedeniyle yaşanan fiziksel ve psikolojik sorunların daha fazla olduğu düşünülmektedir.
