AB  - Objective: In the study, it was aimed to determine nurses awareness about zika virus.Materials and Methods: A total of 96 volunteer nurses who studied intensive care units were included in this study. The data obtained by using the information form and the socio-demographic form prepared by the researcher in the light of the literature were evaluated using mean, average, Kruskal Wallis-H, Man Whitney U ve correlation tests in the computer environment.Results: The average age of the nurses was 28.06±5.57, among whom 78.1% were female and 75% were postgraduated/graduated nurses. Mean information of the intensive care nurses about zika virus infection was 16.14±14.69. The age, working year, gender, graduated school, job, where they learned about zika virus infection, thinking they have enough information and being worried about getting zika virus infection did not affect the awareness level of nurses (p>0.05).The nurses' knowledge about zika virus infection, their desire to get information about zika virus infection, knowing the symptoms of zika virus infection, being protected from zika virus infection and knowing where not to go on vacation were found to be statistically significant. (p<0.05).

N2  - Amaç: Bu çalışmada hemşirelerin zika virüsü ile ilgili farkındalıklarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Materyal ve Metot: Bu çalışmaya yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan toplam 96 gönüllü hemşire dahil edildi. Araştırmacı tarafından literatür doğrultusunda hazırlanan bilgi formu ve sosyo demografik form kullanılarak elde edilen veriler bilgisayar ortamında yüzdelik, ortalama, Kruskal Wallis-H, Man Whitney U ve korelasyon testleri kullanılarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 28,06±5,57 olan hemşirelerin, %78,1’i kadın, %75’i lisans/lisansüstü düzeyinde eğitime sahiptir. Yaş, çalışma yılı, cinsiyet, mezun olunan okul, görevi, zika virüsü enfeksiyonunu nereden öğrendiği, yeterli bilgiye sahip olduğunu düşünme durumu ve zika virüs enfeksiyonuna yakalanma konusunda endişeli olma durumları hemşirelerin farkındalık düzeyini etkilememiştir (p>0,05). Hemşirelerin zika virüs enfeksiyonu hakkında bilgisi, zika virüsü enfeksiyonu hakkında bilgi almak istemesi, zika virüsü enfeksiyonunun belirtileri bilme, zika virüsü enfeksiyonundan korunma ve tatile nereye gitmeyeceğini bilme durumu istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0,05).Sonuç: Yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin zika virüs enfeksiyonuna ilişkin farkındalıklarının oldukça düşük olduğu belirlendi.
