Giriş: COVID-19 son dönemde ortaya çıkan koronavirüsün neden olduğu bulaşıcı bir hastalık ve halk sağlığı
sorunudur. Hemşireler salgında sağlık iş gücünün en büyük bölümünü oluşturan sağlık profesyonelleridir.

Amaç: Bu araştırma COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde çalışan hemşirelerin anksiyete ve umutsuzluk düzeylerini
belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır.

Yöntem: Bu araştırma kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipte bir çalışmadır. Araştırma Adana ilindeki bir devlet hastanesinde
çalışan 246 hemşire ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği (KAÖ) ve Beck Umutsuzluk
Ölçeği (BUÖ) kullanılarak çevrim içi olarak toplandı. İstatistiksel analiz için tanımlayıcı istatistikler,
Student t-testi, one-way Anova ve Levene testi kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin %82,1’inin kadın, %40,2’sinin 26-35 yaş aralığında ve
%32,9’unun serviste çalıştığı belirlendi. Örneklemin %84,1’inin COVID-19 testi yaptırdığı ve %72,4’ünün
COVID-19 hastasına bakım verdiği belirlendi. Hemşirelerin Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği puan ortalaması
11,3 ± 4,3, Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği puan ortalaması ise 8,8 ± 6,1 olarak saptandı. Araştırmada yaş ile Koronavirüs
Anksiyete Ölçeği puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark belirlendi (p < 0,046).
Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği ve Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği puanları arasında anlamlı düzeyde pozitif ilişki
olduğu saptandı (r = 0,362, p < 0,001).

Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde hemşirelerin anksiyete düzeyinin yüksek, umutsuzluk düzeyinin ise
orta düzeyde olduğu ve anksiyete ile umutsuzluk arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde ilişki olduğu görüldü.

Method: It is a cross-sectional descriptive research. The research was composed of 246 nurses working in a state hospital in Adana province. Data were collected using an online survey of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and Beck Hopelessness Scale. Descriptive statistics, Student's t-test, one-way Anova test and Levene’s tests were used for statistical analysis.

Nearly eighty five percent of nurses (84.1%) tested for COVID-19, and 72.4% of sample cared for the patients tested positive for COVID-19. The nurses’ mean score of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale was 11.3 ± 4.3, and for the Beck Hopelessness Scale was 8.8 ± 6.1. Analyses revealed a statistically significant difference between age and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale scores (p < 0.046). There was a significantly positive correlation between the scores of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and Beck Hopelessness Scale (r = 0.362, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The anxiety level of the nurses working during the COVID-19 pandemic was high, the level of hopelessness was moderate, and there was a moderate positive relationship between anxiety and hopelessness.
