The sample of the study consisted of 112 nurses working in the critical care units of a university hospital and meeting the sample criteria. In the data collection, “Information Form” developed by the researchers and the “Covid-19 Burnout Scale” were used. The mean score of the critical care nurses from the Covid-19 burnout scale was 35.26±11.08, which was above the average.

Covid-19 Pandemi Sürecinde Yoğun Bakım Hemşirelerinde Tükenmişlik

Abstract

Bu çalışma Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin tükenmişlik düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel özellikteki araştırma verileri Haziran - Temmuz 2021 tarihleri arasında elde edildi. Araştırmanın örneklemini, bir üniversite hastanesinin yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan ve örneklem ölçütlerini karşılayan 112 hemşire oluşturdu. Verilerin toplanmasında; araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu” ve “Covid-19 Tükenmişlik Ölçeği” kullanıldı. Yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin Covid-19 tükenmişlik ölçeğinden aldıkları puan ortalaması 35.26±11.08 ile ortalamanın üzerinde bulundu. Çalışmada kadın hemşirelerde, sağlık meslek lisesi mezunu olanlarda, çalıştığı birimden memnun olmayanlarda, kronik hastalığı olanlarda ve Covid-19 enfeksiyonu geçiren hemşirelerde tükenmişlik düzeyinin daha yüksek olduğu saptandı.
