Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada üçüncü basamak sağlık çalışanlarında Covid-19 pandemisinin anksiyete ve uyku kalitesi üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma prospektif ve kesitsel tipte olup, bir fakülte hastanesinde çalışanların katılımı ile Şubat-Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Veriler, çevirim içi anket yöntemi ile, sosyodemografik veri değerlendirme formu, Pittsburg Uyku Kalite İndeksi (PUKİ) ve Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği (KAÖ) kullanılarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya toplam 291 sağlık çalışanı katılmıştır. Koronavirüs anksiyetesi olduğu tespit edilen hastaların PUKİ toplam puan ortalaması, anksiyetesi olmayan hastalara göre anlamlı seviyede yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0,005). Erkeklerin ortalama uyku süresi kadınlara göre (p=0,002) anlamlı şekilde fazladır. Uyku latansı puan ortalaması ile bekâr olma (p<0,001) ve çocuk sahibi olmama durumu arasında (p<0,001) anlamlı ilişki vardır. Aktif nöbet tutmak kötü uyku kalitesi ile ilişkili bulunmuştur (p=0,028).
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, Covid-19 pandemisine bağlı anksiyetenin sağlık çalışanlarının uyku kalitelerini olumsuz yönde etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Tekrarlaması muhtemel zorlayıcı koşullara hazırlıklı olmak ve sağlık çalışanlarının ruh ve beden sağlığını korumak için tespit edilen risk faktörlerine yönelik iyileştirici düzenlemelere ihtiyaç vardır.

By online survey method Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) and a questionnaire created by the researchers were used for collecting the data.
Results: A total of 291 healthcare professionals, participated in the study. The mean PSQI score of patients who were detected to have coronavirus anxiety was found to be significantly higher than patients without coronavirus anxiety (p=0,005). Men's average sleep duration was found to be higher than women's (p=0,002). The mean sleep latency score was found to be higher in singles than in married people (p<0,001), and in those who did not have children (p<0,001). The sleep disorder sub-score was higher in thoose who had active night duty compared to those who did not (p=0.028).
Conclusion: This study revealed that there is a significant relationship between sleep quality and anxiety due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and that the sleep quality of healthcare workers was adversely affected during this period.
