Evaluation of future anxiety and stress levels caused by COVID-19 on dentists

Abstract

COVID-19 salgınının diş hekimleri üzerinde yarattığı gelecek kaygısı ve stresin değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı yeni tip korona virüs hastalığının (COVID-19) diş hekimleri üzerinde yarattığı gelecek kaygısı ve stres düzeyini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: TC Sağlık Bakanlığı ve klinik araştırmalar etik kurulundan alınan izin sonrası online formlar aracılığı ile anket oluşturuldu. Ülkemizde yaşayan özel ve/veya kamu kurumlarında diş hekimi olarak çalışan, 25-55 yaş arası kişiler çalışmaya dahil edildi. Tüm katılımcılara; sosyodemografik ve klinik değerlendirme formu, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği (ASÖ) ve araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan gelecek ile ilgili kaygı düzeyini değerlendiren gelecek kaygısı formu uygulandı. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza 228 diş hekimi dahil edildi. 118 kişi (%52) kadın ve 110 kişi (%48) erkek idi. Katılımcılardan 161 kişi (%70) evli iken 53 kişi (%23,24) bekardı. Bu kişilerden 77 kişi (%33,77) 25-35 yaş aralığında, 74 kişi (%32,4) 35-45 yaş aralığında idi. ASÖ’den aldıkları puan 40,92±8,68 iken, gelecek kaygısının değerlendirildiği formdan 114,18±33,19 hesap edildi. Sonuç: Bulgularımız diş hekimlerinde Covid-19’a bağlı yüksek stres düzeyini ve toplumsal gelecek kaygısını işaret etmektedir. Bu nedenle, salgın sürecinde diş hekimlerinin stres düzeylerini ve kaygılarını azaltacak önlemlerin alınması önerilmektedir.
