The Experiences of Nurses and Midwives Providing Care for COVID-19 Patients and Their Special Precautions for Protection

Öz

The study aimed to determine the experiences of nurses and midwives providing care for COVID-19 patients and their special precautions for protection. This studies sample consisted of 354 nurses and midwives who agreed to participate in the study between September 2020 and February 2021, who were from all regions of Turkey, and who filled the online form. The data were collected with a questionnaire form prepared by the researchers according to the literature; the form contained the information on nurses' and midwives' characteristics and their opinions on the COVID-19 process. The COVID-19 affected the psychology of 90.4% of the participants negatively. The rate of the participants who were positive for the COVID-19 test was 3.9%; the rate of those who had a colleague with COVID-19 was 81.4%. 67.2% of the participants stated that the protective materials given by their institutions were inadequate. Therefore, they also obtained protective materials by their means. Except for the materials used for protection from the pandemic, the rate of those who made special applications was 14.7%. 38.4% of those who made special applications washed their hands all the time, and 34.6% of them took vitamin supplements. As a result, some of the participants provided this equipment with their means due to the insufficiency of those provided by their department. The special precautions used for the protection from the epidemic were mostly hand washing and taking vitamin supplements. The measures should be taken against problems in the supply and use of protective equipment.
