Abstract

12 Mart 2020 itibariyle, yeni tip koronavirüs Covid-19 hastalığı endişe verici bir hızla yayılmaya devam etmektedir. DSÖ tarafından bir salgın olarak kabul edilen bu ölümcül salgın, dünya çapında mil-yonlarca insanı etkilemiş ve ciddi ekonomik ve sosyal aksamalara neden olmuştur. Milyonlarca insan koronavirüs tecriti nedeniyle evlerinde sıkışmışken, farklı alanlardan sağlık çalışanları birçok zor-luğa rağmen titizlik ve özveri ile mücadele etmeye devam etmekte-dir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma pandeminin doktorlar 10 , hemşireler 11 , ebeler 4 , paramedikler 3 ve anestezi teknisyenleri 8 dâhil olmak üzere sağlık personelinin yaşamları üzerindeki etkilerini araş-tırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, Afyonkarahisar ilinde görev yapan 36 sağlık çalışanına 9 soru yöneltilmiş ve cevapları nitel araş-tırma teknikleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Yazılı yanıtlara uygulanan içerik analizi ile elde edilen bulgular dikkate alınması gerekli 6 önemli etki olduğunu göstermektedir: çalışma koşullarındaki önemli değişiklik-ler, artan iş yükü, aile hayatı üzerindeki olumsuz etkiler, artan tü-kenmişlik ve yönetici tutumları.
