Acil sağlık hizmetleri sunan birimler, stres yükünün oldukça fazla olduğu servislerdir. Bu birimlerde görev alan sağlık personeli öngörülebilen ve öngörülemeyen çeşitli stres faktörlerine maruz kalmakta ve sonucunda psikososyal olarak etkilenmektedir. Bu tanımlayıcı, kesitsel ve korelasyonel çalışmanın amacı, acil sağlık hizmetlerinde çalışan sağlık personelinde ikincil travmatik stres, psikolojik sağlamlık ve ilişkili faktörleri belirlemektir. Çalışma Şubat-Mayıs 2024 tarihleri arasında acil sağlık hizmetlerinde çalışan 307 sağlık personeli ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, “İkincil Travmatik Stres Ölçeği (İTSÖ)” ve “Connor-Davidson Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan sağlık çalışanlarının “İTSÖ” toplam ve alt boyut puanlarının orta düzeyde ve “Connor-Davidson Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği” toplam ve alt boyut puanlarının ise orta düzeyin altında olduğu saptanmıştır. “İTSÖ” ile “Connor-Davidson Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği” arasında ise, negatif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar bağlamında acil sağlık hizmeti sunan birimlerde çalışan sağlık personeli için ikincil travmatik stresin önemli bir konu olduğu ve psikolojik sağlamlıklarının artırılması ile ikincil travmatik stresin etkilerinin azaltılabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Secondary Traumatic Stress Levels, Psychological Resilience and Related Factors in Emergency Health Workers

Öz

Emergency health services are units where stress levels are quite high. Healthcare workers working in these units are exposed to a variety of predictable and unpredictable stressors and are psychosocially affected as a result. The aim of this descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study was to determine the levels of secondary traumatic stress and psychological resilience of healthcare workers working in emergency health services and the factors associated with them. The study was conducted among 307 healthcare workers working in emergency health services between February and May 2024. Data were collected using the "Personal Information Form", "Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS)", and "Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale". It was found that the total and sub-dimension scores of "STSS" of the health professionals participating in the study were at the moderate level and the total and sub-dimension scores of "Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale" were below the moderate level. It was found that there was a negative and significant relationship between the "STSS" and the "Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale." In the context of these findings, it is suggested that secondary traumatic stress is an important issue for healthcare workers in emergency departments and that the effects of secondary traumatic stress can be reduced by increasing their resilience.
