Abstract

Objectives: Nurses working in intensive care units are encounter many physical and mental factors that may adversely influence their health or the quality of patient care and resulted in fatigue. In this literature review, studies on fatigue among intensive care nurses were examined. Methods: Academic studies published between January 2015 and January 2020 using computer-aided search engines have been included in the study. The research data were collected from Google Scholer, Ebscohost, PubMed databases from 12 to 28 May 2020. Using the keywords "ICU, critical care, nurse fatigue,"; Google Scholar Turkish pages were searched with the words "YBÜ, yoğun bakım, hemşire yorgunluğu." Results: 30 studies that met the inclusion criteria formed the sample of the study. It was observed that 40% of the studies were descriptive, and 50% of the studies evaluated fatigue by using different scales. 26.6% of the studies included determining compassion fatigue. Conclusion: According to findings, it has been determined that fatigue among intensive care nurses is high and that fatigue they experience out them at risk of making mistakes.

YOĞUN BAKIM HEMŞİRELERİNDE YORGUNLUK İLE İLGİLİ ÇALIŞMALARIN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: Yoğun bakım ünitelerinde görev yapan hemşireler, kendi sağlıklarını veya hasta bakım kalitesini olumsuz etkileyebilecek fiziksel ve zihinsel pek çok faktörle karşılaşmakta ve bunun sonucunda yorgunluk yaşamaktadırlar. Bu literatür incelemesinde, yoğun bakım hemşirelerinde yorgunluğun araştırıldığı çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Yöntem: Bilgisayar destekli arama motorları kullanılarak Ocak 2015 ile Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında yayınlanan akademik araştırmalar araştırma kapsamına alınmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri 12-28 Mayıs 2020 tarihlerinde Google Scholer, Ebscohost, PubMed veri tabanlarından “ICU, critical care, nurse fatigue” kelimeleri ile; Google Akademik Türkçe sayfalarında ise “YBÜ, yoğun bakım, hemşire yorgunluğu” kelimeleri ile tarama yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 30 araştırma, çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Araştırmaların %40’ının tanımlayıcı nitelikte olduğu, %50’sinde yorgunluğun farklı ölçekler kullanılarak değerlendirildiği görülmüştür. Çalışmanın kapsamına alınan araştırmaların %26,6’sı merhamet yorgunluğu ile ilgilidir. Sonuç: Elde edilen bulgulara göre yoğun bakım hemşireleri arasında yüksek düzeyde olduğu ve deneyimledikleri yorgunluğun yoğun bakım hemşirelerinde hata yapma riskini arttırdığı belirlenmiştir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi, Yorgunluk, Hemşire.
