Abstract

Amaç: Depremler, hayatta kalanları fiziksel ve psikolojik olarak etkileyen doğal afetlerdir. Sağlık çalışanları hem depremzede
hem de yardım görevlileridir. Çalışmamızda, depremzedelerin tedavisi, taburcu edilmesi, takibi ve rehabilitasyonunda görev
alan sağlık çalışanlarında anksiyete ve depresyon düzeyini ve ilişkili faktörleri belirlemeyi amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 6 Şubat 2023 depremi sonrası Kayseri Şehir Hastanesi’nde depremzedelerin akut bakımında
çalışan doktor, hemşire, sağlık teknisyeni, tıbbi teknisyen ve tıbbi sekreter gibi sağlık çalışanları dahil edildi. Katılımcılara
sosyodemografik veri formu, Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği (BAÖ) ve Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) uygulandı.
Bulgular: Toplam 159 sağlık çalışanı çalışmamıza katılmayı kabul etti. BDÖ ölçek puanlarına göre katılımcıların %18,2’sinde
hafif depresyon, %4,4’ünde ise şiddetli depresyon vardı. Anksiyete ve depresyon varlığı kadın katılımcılarda erkek katılımcılara
göre daha yüksekti (p=0,012, p=0,005). Kendini depremzede olarak görenlerde anksiyete açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
fark bulundu (p=0,002). Sağlık çalışanlarının depremden daha fazla etkilendiğini düşünen katılımcılarda anksiyete daha yüksek
iken (p=0,034), sağlık çalışanlarının depremden sonra psikolojik destek alması gerektiğine inanan katılımcılarda hem anksiyete
hem de depresyon daha yüksek bulundu (sırasıyla p değerleri 0,01 ve 0,004’tür).
Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanlarının talep etmeseler bile, deprem gibi afetlerden önce ve sonra ruh sağlıklarını korumak ve iyileştirmek
için stratejiler geliştirilmelidir.

Anxiety and Depression in Healthcare Workers After February 6th, 2023 Kahramanmaras Earthquake

Year 2024, Volume: 9 Issue: 3, 114 - 120, 31.12.2024

Abstract

Aim: Earthquakes are natural disasters that affect survivors physically and psychologically. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are
both earthquake survivors and aid responders. In our study, we aimed to determine the level of anxiety and depression and
related factors in HCWs involved in the treatment, discharge, follow-up, and rehabilitation of earthquake victims.
Materials and Methods: The Kayseri City Hospital Institutional Ethics Board approved the study (Approval number: 841,
decision date: 23.05.2024). HCWs such as doctors, nurses, health technicians, medical technicians, and medical secretaries who
worked in the acute care of earthquake victims in Kayseri City Hospital after the February 6, 2023 earthquake were included
in the study. Sociodemographic data form, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were applied to
the participants.
Results: A total of 159 HCWs agreed to participate in our study. According to the BDI scale scores, 18.2% of the participants
had mild depression, and 4.4% had severe depression. The presence of anxiety and depression was higher in female participants
than in male participants (p=0.012, p=0.005). A statistically significant difference was found in terms of anxiety in HCWs who
considered themselves earthquake survivors (p=0.002). While anxiety was higher in participants who thought that HCWs were
more affected by the earthquake (p=0.034), both anxiety and depression were higher in participants who believed that HCWs
should receive psychological support after the earthquake (p-values were 0.01 and 0.004, respectively).
Conclusion: Strategies should be developed before and after disasters such as earthquakes to protect and improve HCWs’
mental health, even if they do not request it.
