ObjectiveThis study was conducted to investigate therelationship between intense work tempo and sleepquality in hospital workers during the pandemic period.Material and MethodHealthcare workers working in the hospital wereincluded in our cross-sectional study. The data werecollected using the Introductory Questionnaire, thePandemic Evaluation Questionnaire and the PittsburgSleep Quality Index of the personnel actively involvedin the pandemic process in the hospital. In theevaluation of the data; descriptive statistics, chisquare,correlation, t-test and ANOVA analysis wereperformed.ResultsA total of 103 healthcare workers (Male: 36 (35%),Female, 67 (65%)) including nurses, healthcaretechnicians, doctors, administrative personneland cleaning personnel participated in our study.The average tenure of the employees was14.12±9.73 years. Body mass index (BMI) of healthprofessionals was found to be male: 26.33±3.13kg/m2, female: 24.07±3.70 kg/m2. The majority ofhealth professionals participating in our study werein the Surgery Department (25 (24.3%), IntensiveCare (19 (18.4%), Emergency Service (15 (14.6%))and Administrative Department (13 (12.6%) The restwere working in the Laboratory (9 (8.7%), COVID-19outpatient clinics (7 (6.8%)), Dialysis (5 (4.9%)).Pre-pandemic sleep disorder and accordingly therate of drug use were found to be low. A significantcorrelation was found between the PUKI scoreand the frequency of sleep disturbance before thepandemic (r2=0.579; p=0.001) and the consumptionof caffeinated beverages (r2=0.373; p=0.001). Therewas a statistically significant difference betweennurses and cleaning staff in health professionals, andPUKI scores were found to be high in nurses in thepandemic term (p=0.002).ConclusionDuring the pandemic period, it was determined thatthe sleep quality of the hospital staff decreased withthe increasing workload and negatively affected thelives of the health workers with the increasing anxietylevels.

AmaçBu çalışma, hastane çalışanlarında, pandemi dönemindeyoğun iş temposu ile uyku kalitesi arasındakiilişkinin araştırılması amacıyla yapıldı.Gereç ve YöntemKesitsel tipteki araştırmamıza hastanede çalışan sağlıkçalışanları dahil edildi. Veriler hastanede pandemisürecinde aktif olarak görev alan personele; TanıtıcıAnket Formu, Pandemi Değerlendirme Anketi ve PittsburgUyku Kalitesi İndeksi kullanılarak elde edildi.Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; tanımlayıcı istatistik,ki-kare, korelasyon, t testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi(ANOVA) kullanıldı.BulgularÇalışmamıza hemşire, sağlık teknisyeni, doktor, idaripersonel ve temizlik personelinden oluşan toplam 103sağlık çalışanı (Erkek: 36 (%35), Kadın: 67 (%65)) katıldı.Çalışanların görev süresi ortalaması 14,12±9,73yıl olarak saptandı. Sağlık profesyonellerinin vücutkitle indeksi (VKİ) erkek: 26,33±3,13 kg/m2, kadın:24,07±3,70 kg/m2 olarak bulundu. Çalışmamıza katılansağlık profesyonellerinin çoğunluğu cerrahi Bölümde(25 (%24,3)), yoğun Bakımda (19 (%18,4), acilserviste (15 (%14,6)) ve idari kısımda (13 (%12,6)) çalışmaktaydı.Geri kalanları laboratuvarda (9 (%8,7)),COVID-19 polikliniğinde (7 (%6,8)), ve diyalizde (5(%4,9)) çalışmaktaydı. Pandemi öncesi uyku bozukluğuve buna bağlı olarak ilaç kullanım oranı düşüktü.Pandemi sürecinde; sağlık profesyonellerinde Hemşireve Temizlik Personeli arasında istatistiksel olarakanlamlı farklılık vardı ve PUKİ puanları Hemşirelerdeyüksek bulundu (p=0,002).SonuçPandemi döneminde hastane çalışanlarında uykukalitesinin artan iş yükü ile beraber azaldığı ve artankaygı düzeyleri ile beraber sağlık çalışanlarının yaşamınıolumsuz etkilediği saptandı.
