Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı COVİD-19 pandemisinde sağlık bilimleri alanında çalışan akademisyenlerin uykusuzluk şiddetini belirlemektir.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tasarımda yapılan bu araştırma 20 Mart – 31 Mayıs 2020 tarihleri arasında, Karadeniz Bölgesinde bir üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri alanında çalışan 114 akademik personel ile yürütülmüştür. Verilerin toplanmasında “Anket formu” ve “ Uykusuzluk Şiddet İndeksi (UŞİ)” kullanılmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; sayı, yüzdelik dağılım, ortalama, standart sapma, one way anova ve bağımsız örnekler t testi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmada akademisyenlerin UŞİ toplam puan ortalamasının 10.40±5.50 olduğu, kadınların 11.24±5.44, erkeklerin 9.77±5.50, araştırma görevlilerinin 13,46±3,92 ve herhangi bir rahatsızlığı olanların 10.72±6.01 puan ortalamasına sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Cinsiyet, akademik ünvan ve herhangi bir rahatsızlığı olma durumu ile UŞİ arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Ölçeğin kesme noktalarına göre değerlendirildiğinde ise akademisyenlerin %44.7’sinin uykusuzluk alt eşiğine, %22.8’inin orta düzeyde klinik uykusuzluğa, %0.9’unun şiddetli klinik uykusuzluğa sahip olduğu saptanmıştır.
Sonuç ve Önerileri: Araştırmada kadın akademisyenlerin, araştırma görevlilerinin ve herhangi bir rahatsızlığı bulunan akademisyenlerin daha yüksek uykusuzluğa maruz kaldığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca akademisyenlerin yarısına yakınının uykusuzluk alt eşiğinde olduğu belirlenmiştir.

https://doi.org/10.47115/jshs.982299

Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the severity of insomnia of academicians working in the field of health sciences in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: This research in descriptive design was conducted between 20 March - 31 May 2020 with 114 academic staff working in the field of Health Sciences of a university in the Black Sea Region. "Questionnaire form" and "Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)" were used to collect the data. Number, percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, one way anova and unpaired t test were used to evaluate the data.
Results: In the study, the average score of ISI of academicians was 10.40±5.50, female had 11.24±5.44, male had 9.77±5.50, research assistants had 13.46±3.92 and those with any ailments had an average score of 10.72±6.01. No statistically significant differences were found between gender, academic title, and having any ailment and ISI (p>0.05). When evaluated according to the breakpoints of the scale, it was found that 44.7% of the academicians had the lower threshold of insomnia, 22.8% had moderate clinical insomnia, and 0.9% had severe clinical insomnia.
Conclusion and Suggestions: In the study, it was found that female academicians, research assistants and academicians with any ailments were exposed to insomnia at a higher rate. In addition, it was determined that almost half of the academicians were at the lower threshold of insomnia.
