Covid-19 Kliniğinde Çalışan Hemşirelerin Deneyim ve Düşünceleri: Nitel Bir Çalışma

Öz

Giriş: Hemşireler salgın hastalıklarda, hastalarla uzun vakit geçirerek, onların her anına yakından tanıklık etmiştir. Sağlık ekibi içinde aktif rol alarak hem organizasyon hem de bakım ve tedavi sürecini üstün bir çaba ile sürdürmüştür. Amaç: Covid-19 kliniklerinde çalışan hemşirelerin pandemi hastalarının bakım ve tedavi sürecine yönelik deneyim ve düşüncelerini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenolojik tasarım kullanılmıştır. Görüşmeler Covid-19 servis ve yoğun bakım ünitelerinde pandemi hastalarının bakım ve tedavi sürecinde hemşirelik hizmeti sunan, görevlendirme süreci boyunca pandemi kliniğinde çalışmış hemşirelerle yapılmıştır. Veriler video konferans yöntemi ile tek bir araştırmacı tarafından toplanmıştır. Colaizzi’nin fenomenolojik analiz yöntemi içerik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda Covid-19 kliniğinde çalışan hemşirelerin deneyim ve düşüncelerine yönelik bulgular; organizasyon, psikolojik faktörler, sosyal faktörler ve profesyonel faktörler olmak üzere dört ana temada toplanmıştır. Sonuç: Fiziksel ve psikolojik sağlamlık gerektiren Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde hemşireler iş stresine maruz kalmış, psikolojik ve fiziksel olarak unutulmayacak deneyimler yaşamış buna rağmen mesleğe bağlı kaldıklarını ve ailelerin en büyük destek kaynağı olduğunu ifade etmiştir. Bulgularımız doğrultusunda Covid-19 kliniğinde çalışan hemşirelerin bakım sürecinde yaşadıkları zorlukların azaltılmasına yönelik girişim planlanması kurum yöneticileri tarafından desteklenmesi ve bunun yanında hemşirelere yönelik motivasyon artırıcı program ve etkinliklerin planlanması önerilmiştir.
