Aim: In our study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between the use of personal protective equipment by healthcare workers in the COVID-19 epidemic and their depression, anxiety and stress levels.

Material and Methods: 384 healthcare professionals working in a pandemic hospital participated in our descriptive study conducted in May 2020. The data collection tools; A form consisting of descriptive features, personal protective equipment use cases and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21) was used. The forms were delivered to healthcare professionals online and the responses were collected and analyzed in this way.

Results: In our study, the Anxiety and Stress scores of female healthcare workers and the “DASS-21 anxiety score” of single healthcare workers were found to be statistically significantly higher (p=0.008; p=0.001; p=0.019; p<0.05). According to the professions, the scores of the healthcare workers on the DASS-21 scale did not show a statistically significant difference (p>0.05). During COVID-19 pandemic, statistically significant differences were found between Depression Anxiety and Stress scores of healthcare workers according to their visor or goggles / protective glasses use(p<0.01; p<0.05; p<0.01). Similarly, the use of disposable gowns / overalls and similar equipment during the epidemic caused a statistically significant difference in “DASS-21 depression and stress scores” in healthcare workers (p=0.002; p<0.01; p=0.029; p<0.05).

Conclusion: It was observed that depression, anxiety and stress conditions of healthcare workersworking intensively during the COVID-19 outbreak were affected. Suitable working environments and necessary protective equipment should be provided for healthcare professionals. With the planning for the development of mental health protection programs, it can be ensured that they overcome the intensive process with the least damage.

COVID-19 Salgınında Sağlık Çalışanlarının Kişisel Koruyucu Ekipman Kullanımları ile Depresyon, Anksiyete, Stres Düzeyleri Arasındaki İlişkinin Belirlenmesi

Öz

Amaç: Çalışmamızda COVID-19 salgınında sağlık çalışanlarının kişisel koruyucu ekipman
kullanımları ile depresyon, anksiyete, stres düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Mayıs 2020’de gerçekleştirilen tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmamıza bir
pandemi hastanesinde çalışan 384 sağlık çalışanı katılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak;
tanımlayıcı özellikler, kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanım durumları ve Depresyon-Anksiyete-Stres
Ölçeği’nden (DASS-21) oluşan bir form kullanılmıştır. Formlar, sağlık çalışanlarına çevrimiçi
ortamdan ulaştırılmış ve yanıtlar da bu şekilde toplanarak analiz edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Çalışmamızda kadın sağlık çalışanlarının Anksiyete ve Stres puanları ile bekâr
sağlık çalışanlarının “DASS-21 anksiyete puanı” istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde yüksek
saptanmıştır (p=0,008; p=0,001; p=0,019; p<0,05). Mesleklere göre ise sağlık çalışanlarının
DASS-21 ölçeğinden aldıkları puanlar istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık göstermemiştir (p>0,05).
COVID-19 salgını boyunca siperlik ya da gözlük/ koruyucu gözlük kullanım durumlarına göre
sağlık çalışanlarının Depresyon, Anksiyete ve Stres puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
farklılık saptanmıştır (p<0,01; p<0,05; p<0,01). Benzer şekilde salgın boyunca tek kullanımlık
önlük/ tulum ve benzeri ekipmanlarının kullanımının sağlık çalışanlarında “DASS-21 depresyon
ve stres puanları”nda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılığa neden olmuştur (p=0,002; p<0,01;
p=0,029; p<0,05).

Sonuç: COVID-19 salgını boyunca yoğun bir şekilde çalışan sağlık çalışanlarının depresyon,
anksiyete ve stres durumlarının etkilendiği görülmüştür. Sağlık çalışanları için uygun çalışma
ortamları ve gerekli koruyucu ekipmanları sağlanmalıdır. Ruh sağlıklarını koruma programlarının
geliştirilmesine yönelik planlamalar ile yoğun süreci en az hasarla atlatmaları sağlanabilir.
