The Role of the Nurse in Chronic Disease Management in the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

COVID-19, which first appeared on December 31, 2019, in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province in China, has quickly become a global epidemic that causes a high number of deaths all over the world. COVID-19 generally manifested itself with symptoms such as high fever, weakness, cough in patients, and was more effective in people with advanced age and chronic diseases. Chronic diseases caused by more than one risk factor affect the immune system in various ways, reducing the quality of life of the person, and in this respect, it is an important risk factor for the course and course of the COVID-19 disease. For this reason, it is of great importance that the treatment and follow-up of patients with chronic diseases can be carried out without interruption during the pandemic. In this direction, public health nurses play a key role in the management of COVID-19 and chronic disease. The available literature on chronic disease management in the COVID-19 pandemic is limited. In the review, the most common chronic diseases associated with poor prognosis in the follow-up and mortality of Covid-19 are included. It is aimed to provide information about the chronic disease management in the COVID-19 pandemic and to contribute to the effective management of this process by nurses.

COVID-19 Pandemisinde Kronik Hastalık Yönetiminde Hemşirenin Rolü

Abstract

İlk kez 31 Aralık 2019’da Çin’de Hubei eyaleti Wuhan şehrinde ortaya çıkan COVID-19 kısa sürede tüm dünyada yüksek sayıda ölümlere neden olan küresel bir salgın haline gelmiştir. COVID-19, hastalarda genel olarak yüksek ateş, halsizlik, öksürük gibi belirtilerle kendini göstermiş, daha çok ileri yaş ve kronik rahatsızlığı olan kişilerde etkili olmuştur. Birden fazla risk faktörünün neden olduğu kronik hastalıklar, bağışıklık sistemini çeşitli yönlerden etkileyerek kişinin yaşam kalitesini düşürmekte bu yönüyle de COVID-19 hastalığının seyri ve gidişatı bakımından önemli bir risk faktörü olmaktadır. Bu nedenle pandemi süresince kronik hastalığı bulunan hastaların tedavi ve takiplerinin aksatılmadan yapılabilmesi büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu doğrultuda halk sağlığı hemşireleri COVID-19 ve kronik hastalık yönetiminde anahtar rol oynamaktadır. COVID-19 pandemisinde kronik hastalık yönetiminde mevcut literatür sınırlıdır. Derlemede, Covid-19 izleminde ve mortalitesinde kötü prognozla ilişkili olan ve en çok görülen kronik hastalıklara yer verilmiştir. COVID-19 pandemisinde kronik hastalık yönetimi hakkında bilgi verilmesi ve hemşirelerin bu süreci etkin yönetebilmelerine katkı sağlaması amaçlanmıştır.
