Giriş: Tarih boyunca yaşanan salgınların toplumları derinden etkileyerek anksiyete oluşturduğu görülmüştür. COVID-19 salgını kısa sürede tüm dünyada etkisini göstermiş ve binlerce kişinin COVID-19 nedeniyle öldüğü bildirilmiştir. Salgın döneminde sağlık çalışanlarının COVID-19 hastaları ile sık karşılaşmaları anksiyete düzeylerini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Kayseri’de hizmet veren aile sağlığı merkezlerinde çalışanların salgın dönemindeki anksiyete düzeylerini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya telefonla ulaşılan 20 ile 65 yaş arası Kayseri’de bulunan aile sağlığı merkezlerinde aktif olarak çalışan 214 doktor ve aile sağlığı elemanı katılmıştır. Anksiyete düzeyini belirlemek için Beck Anksiyete Indexi (BAI) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 214 kişinin %71’i kadın, %82,7’si evli, %52,8’i doktor, %47,2’si aile sağlığı elemanıydı. Yaş ortalaması 38,85 idi. Görev süresi ortancası 14 (min-max:1-34) yıl ve Beck Anksiyete Skor ortancası 17 (min-max: 0-63) idi. Katılımcıların %53,7’si COVID-19 hakkında eğitim aldığını, %84,1’i salgının kendilerini ruhsal olarak etkilediğini belirtmiştir. Sonuç: Pandemi sağlık çalışanlarının anksiyete düzeyini artırmıştır. Aile sağlığı merkezlerindeki sağlık çalışanlarının ruhsal sağlığının iyi olması birinci basamakta verdikleri hizmetin kalitesini etkilemektedir. Bunun için ülkemizde ve dünyada psikososyal destek ekipleri kurulmalı ve hastalar ile birlikte sağlık çalışanları da psikolojik olarak desteklenmelidir.

Introduction: It has been observed that outbreaks experienced throughout history have caused anxiety by profoundly affecting societies. COVID-19 pandemic soon affected the entire world and caused the deaths of thousands of people. Frequently encountering COVID-19 patients increase the anxiety levels of healthcare workers during the pandemic. This study aimed to determine the anxiety levels of healthcare workers of family health centers in Kayseri during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: A total of 214 physicians and family health workers between the ages of 20 and 65 and actively working in Family Health Centers in Kayseri participated in the study. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was used to determine the level of anxiety. Results: Of 214 people who participated in the study, 71.0% were female, 82.7% were married, 52.8% were physicians and 47.2% were family health workers. Their mean age was 38.85. Median employment duration was 14 (min-max: 1-34) years and the median Beck Anxiety Inventory Score was 17 (min-max: 0-63). Of the participants, 53.7% stated that they attended a training program on COVID-19 while 84.1% stated that the outbreak had psychologically affected them. Conclusion: The pandemic has increased the anxiety level of healthcare workers. Mental health of healthcare workers in family health centers affects the quality of the service they provide in the primary care. Therefore, psychosocial support teams should be built up in our country and around the world, and health workers should be supported psychologically as well as patients.
