Abstract

Pandemiler, sağlık sistemi üzerinde büyük etkisi olan ve ciddi ölümlere neden olan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Sağlık çalışanları içerisinde en büyük grubu oluşturan ve COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde zor görevler üstlenen hemşireler, doğrudan hasta bakımı ve iyileşmesinde ve salgının kontrolünde etkin rol oynayan hayati insan kaynaklarıdır. Katlanarak büyüyen salgın süreci ancak hemşirelerin refahını artırılarak yönetilebilir ve virüsün sağlık sektörü içinde yayılma riski bu şekilde minimumda tutulabilir. Hemşireler sağlık, bakım ve destek hizmetlerinin koordinasyonunda kritik bir rol oynamaktadır ve salgınlara karşı mücadelede ön plandadırlar. Bu nedenle hemşireler hastane tarafından sağlık güvenliği sağlanarak iyi desteklenmelidir. Bu olgu sunumunda salgın sürecinde COVID-19 pozitif hastalara bakım veren bir hemşirenin karşılaştığı sorunlar ile ilgili duygu ve düşünceleri açıklanmaktadır.
