Amaç: Bu araştırmada seçilmiş bir hastanede görev yapan sağlık personelinin COVID-19 salgını öncesi ve salgın sırasındaki fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinde gerçekleşen değişimin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve Metot: Araştırmamız XXX Devlet Hastanesi’nde görev yapan 385 kişi ile 2021 yılı ağustos ayında gerçekleştirilen tanımlayıcı bir araştırmadır. Veriler, hazırlanan Sosyodemografik Veri Formu, Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi, Warwick-Edinburgh Mental İyi Oluş Ölçeği kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme ve çevrimiçi anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 33,4 (SS:9,9) yıldı. Uluslararası fiziksel aktivite anketi puanları karşılaştırıldığında, Şiddetli Fiziksel Aktivite (salgın öncesi:1440, salgın sırasında:960) (p=0,006), Orta Şiddetli Fiziksel Aktivite (salgın öncesi:510 salgın sırasında:480) (p<0,001), Yürüme (salgın öncesi:1188, salgın sırasında:990) (p<0,001), Oturma (salgın öncesi:450, salgın sırasında:495) (p<0,001) ve Fiziksel Aktivite Toplam puan (salgın öncesi:2304, salgın sırasında:1566) (p<0,001) ortanca değerleri arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı fark elde edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Pandemi sürecinin sağlık çalışanlarının fiziksel aktivite düzeylerini azalttığı görülmüştür. Bulaşıcı olmayan hastalıkların bir risk faktörü olan fiziksel inaktivitenin pandemi nedeniyle artarak neden olacağı sorunlar yakından incelenmelidir. Sağlık çalışanlarının pandemi döneminde azalan fiziksel aktivitelerini artırmaya yönelik çalışmalar gerçekleştirilmelidir.

Changes in Physical Activity Levels in Healthcare Personnel During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Selected One Hospital Example

Öz

Objective: This study aimed to examine the change in the physical activity levels of healthcare personnel working in a selected hospital before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials and Methods: Throughout August 2021, a descriptive research including 385 patients from XXX State Hospital was carried out. The study collected data with face-to-face interviews, and online questionnaires using the Sociodemographic Data Form, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale.
Results: The participants' average age was 33.4 (SD: 9.9) years. When comparing International Physical Activity Questionnaire scores, statistically significant differences were observed in the median values of Vigorous Physical Activity (pre-pandemic: 1440, during pandemic: 960) (p=0.006), Moderate Physical Activity (pre-pandemic: 510, during pandemic: 480) (p<0.001), Walking (pre-pandemic: 1188, during pandemic: 990) (p<0.001), Sitting (pre-pandemic: 450, during pandemic: 495) (p<0.001), and Total Physical Activity score (pre-pandemic: 2304, during pandemic: 1566) (p<0.001).
Conclusions: It is evident that the pandemic has led to a reduction in the physical activity levels of healthcare professionals. The increased risk of non-communicable diseases due to physical inactivity during the pandemic should be closely examined for potential issues. Efforts should be made to implement interventions aimed at increasing the decreased physical activity levels of healthcare workers during the pandemic.
