Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, genel cerrahi asistanlarının COVID-19 korkusu ile tükenmişliklerinin incelenmesidir.
Materyal ve Metot: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tasarımda olan çalışma 103 genel cerrahi asistanı ile yapılmıştır. Veriler; kişisel Bilgi Formu, COVID-19 Korku Ölçeği ve Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği ile elde edilmiştir. Veriler SPSS programında değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Asistanların COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği puan ortalaması orta puanın üzerinde bulunmuştur. Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği’nin alt boyutları olan duyarsızlaşma ve duygusal tükenme orta düzeyde yaşanırken, kişisel başarı boyutunda ise önemli derecede düşüş olduğu belirlenmiştir. COVID-19 korkusu yüksek olan asistanlarda yüksek düzeyde duygusal tükenme yaşandığı ve yüksek düzeyde duyarsızlaşma geliştiği, aynı zamanda kişisel başarıda azalma hissi yaşandığı saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: COVID-19 virüsünün bulaşma riski yüksek olan genel cerrahi asistanlarının salgın dönemlerinde riskli gruplar olarak ele alınması, gerekli koruyucu önlemlerin ve psikolojik desteği kapsayan kriz yönetim politikalarının uygulamaya geçirilmesi tükenme sendromunun azaltılmasında önemlidir.

Investigation of COVID-19 Fear and Burnout in General Surgery Assistants

Öz

Objective: The aim of the study is to examine the burnout of general surgery assistants due to fear of Covid-19.
Materials and Methods: The study, which had a descriptive and cross-sectional design, was conducted with 103 general surgery residents. Data; It was obtained with the Personal Information Form, Covid-19 Fear Scale and Maslach Burnout Scale. The data were evaluated in the SPSS program.
Results: The average score of the residents on the Fear of Covid-19 Scale was found to be above the middle score. While depersonalization and emotional exhaustion, which are the sub-dimensions of the Maslach Burnout Scale, were experienced at moderate levels, it was determined that there was a significant decrease in the personal accomplishment dimension. It has been determined that assistants with a high fear of Covid-19 experience high levels of emotional exhaustion and high levels of depersonalization, as well as a feeling of decreased personal accomplishment.
Conclusion: It is important to consider general surgery assistants, who are at high risk of contracting the Covid-19 virus, as risky groups during epidemic periods, and to implement necessary protective measures and crisis management policies including psychological support in reducing burnout syndrome.
