Öz

Amaç: Bu araştırmada, Hatay ilinde görev yapan sağlık çalışanlarının COVID-19 salgını süresince yaşadıkları kaygı düzeyleri ve yaşam tarzlarındaki değişimlerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma, 25 Şubat 2021 ile 25 Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında Hatay'daki birinci, ikinci ve üçüncü basamak sağlık çalışanlarının katılımıyla, WhatsApp üzerinden gerçekleştirilen çevrimiçi bir anket ile yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılara 25 sorudan oluşan bir anket uygulanmış, ayrıca Spielberger Sürekli ve Durumluk Kaygı Ölçeği ile Uykusuzluk Şiddeti İndeksi kullanılarak kaygı düzeyleri ve uyku bozuklukları değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan 201 doktor, 137 hemşire/ebe ve 64 diğer sağlık çalışanının %60,2'si (n=242) Durumluk Kaygı Ölçeği'ne göre, %72,9'u (n=293) Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği'ne göre orta düzeyde kaygı yaşadığı, %62,5'inin (n=251) ise uyku bozukluğu yaşadığı tespit edilmiştir. Daha ileri yaş (p=0.018), doktor olma (p=0.005), enfekte hastalarla temas eden birimlerde görev yapma (p=0.001), kronik hastalık varlığı (p=0.004), beslenme alışkanlıklarındaki değişim (p=0.001), sigara kullanma (p=0.011), psikolojik destek alma (p=0.001) ve enfekte bir hasta ile riskli temas (p=0.001) kaygı düzeyini etkileyen faktörler olarak belirlenmiştir. Benzer şekilde, enfekte hastalarla sık temas eden birimlerde çalışma (p=0.001), kadın olma (p=0.033), doktor veya hemşire olma (p=0.013), sigara kullanma (p=0.005), beslenme alışkanlıkları (p=0.001), fiziksel egzersiz (p=0.001), destek tedavi alma (p=0.001) ve riskli temas (p=0.001) uyku bozukluğunu etkileyen faktörler arasında yer almıştır. Sonuç: Pandemi dönemi, sağlık çalışanları üzerinde artan kaygı seviyeleri ve uyku bozuklukları gibi olumsuz psikolojik etkiler yaratmıştır.

Investigation of the anxiety levels and lifestyle changes of healthcare workers in hatay province during the covid-19 pandemic process

Öz

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the anxiety levels and lifestyle changes experienced by healthcare professionals in Hatay province during the COVID-19 outbreak. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted through a WhatsApp-based survey involving healthcare workers from primary, secondary, and tertiary care facilities in Hatay province between 25 February 2021 and 25 March 2021. Participants completed a 25-question survey designed by the researchers, as well as the Spielberger Trait and State Anxiety Inventory and the Insomnia Severity Index to assess sleep disturbance. Results: Among the 201 physicians, 137 nurses/midwives and 64 other healthcare professionals who participated, 60.2% (n=242) reported moderate anxiety according to the state anxiety scale, while 72.9% (n=293) did so on the trait anxiety scale. In addition, 62.5% (n=251) reported sleep disorders. Factors associated with higher anxiety levels included older age (p=0.018), being a physician (p=0.005), working in settings with more frequent exposure to infected patients (p=0.001), having chronic illnesses (p=0.004), changing dietary habits (p=0.001), smoking (p=0.011), seeking support (p=0.001), and risky contact with infected patients (p=0.001). Variables linked to sleep disturbances included working in high-contact areas (p=0.001), being female (p=0.033), being a doctor or nurse (p=0.013), smoking (p=0.005), dietary habits (p=0.001), physical activity (p=0.001), seeking supportive care (p=0.001), and risky contact with infected patients (p=0.001). Conclusions: The pandemic has had a negative psychological impact on healthcare workers, resulting in elevated anxiety levels and increased sleep disturbance.
