Abstract

İlk olarak Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti’nin Wuhan kentin ‘de ortaya çıkan ve kısa zamanda bütün dünyayı saran Koronavirüs (COVID-19) Pandemisi rutin hayatımıza sosyolojik, siyasal, psikolojik, maddi ve manevi birçok etki oluşturmuştur. Pandeminin etkileri sosyal hayat ile sınırlı kalmamış kişilerin durumuna da etki etmiş olup, gerekli önlemlerin alınmaması durumunda daha ileri boyutlarda travmatik sonuçlar oluşturma riski bulunmaktadır. Tüm insanlığı etkileyen bu süreçte, özellikle hemşiresinden doktoruna ve acil sağlık hizmetleri personelinden filyasyon ekiplerine kadar görev yapan tüm sağlık çalışanları pandeminin yarattığı olumsuzluklardan daha fazla etkilenmiştir. Bu derlemede, pandemiye bağlı gelişen ruhsal sorunların sağlık çalışanlarında travma açısından değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Uzayan süreç beraberinde mevcut yaşanan travma ile artan anksiyete, depresyon, damgalama ve kullanılan kişisel koruyucu ekipmanın verdiği zararla oluşan psikolojik durum risk grupları içinde en önde gelenlerden sağlık çalışanlarının bu dönemin neden olduğu ruhsal travmanın olumsuz etkilerini en az şekilde yaşamaları için toplumsal ve sosyal yönden farkındalığın sağlanması ve erken dönem koruyucu önlemlerin alınması açısından çalışma önemlidir.
