Publication: COVİD-19 tanısı konulan sağlık çalışanlarının hastalık sonrası yorgunluk ve uyku kalitelerinin incelenmesi
Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmada Covid-19 tanısı konulan sağlık çalışanlarının hastalık sonrası yorgunluk düzeyi ve uyku kalitesinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel olarak tasarlandı. Araştırma evrenini; Nisan-Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında, bir üniversite hastanesinde çalışan tüm sağlık çalışanları oluşturdu. Araştırmanın örneklemini basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen, araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü, en az üç hafta önce Covid-19 tanısı konulan 278 sağlık çalışanı oluşturdu. Veriler, “Anket formu”, “Chalder Yorgunluk Ölçeği” (CYÖ) ve “Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi” (PUKİ) kullanılarak online platformda toplandı; %95 güven aralığında, anlamlılık p<,05 düzeyinde değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %42,8’i 26-33 yaş grubunda olup, %59,4’ü kadındır. CYÖ toplam ve fiziksel yorgunluk puan ortalaması 10,40±3, CYÖ mental yorgunluk puan ortalaması 5,27±1, PUKİ puan ortalaması 7,28±2 olduğu tespit edildi. Katılımcılardan meslekte çalışma süresi bir ile beş yıl arasında olanların mental yorgunluk düzeyinin yüksek seviyede olduğu belirlendi (p<0,05). Kronik hastalığı ve vardiya sistemiyle çalışanların ise fiziksel yorgunluk düzeyinin yüksek seviyede olduğu belirlendi (p<0,05). Eğitim düzeyi yüksek olan ve hastalık sürecinde tedavi uygulanan katılımcıların uyku kalitelerinin düşük olduğu saptandı (p<0,05). Hastalık sürecinde semptomları bulunan sağlık çalışanlarının yorgunluk düzeyinin diğer katılımcılara göre yüksek ve uyku kalitelerinin düşük olduğu belirlendi (p<0,05). Katılımcıların uyku kalitesi artıkça fiziksel ve mental yorgunluk düzeyinin azaldığı tespit edildi (p<0,05). Sonuç: Covid-19 tanısı konulan sağlık çalışanlarının orta düzeyde yorgunluk yaşadığı ve uyku kalitelerinin iyi olmadığı saptandı.
Objective: This study, was conducted to determine fatigue and sleep quality of healthcare professionals diagnosed with Covid-19. Methods: The study was designed as descriptive and cross-sectional. The study population consisted of all healthcare workers in a university hospital between April and October 2021. The sample of the study consisted of 278 healthcare workers who were determined by simple random sampling methodology, volunteered to participate in the study, and were diagnosed with Covid-19 at least three weeks ago. Data were collected through on the online platform using “Questionnaire Form”, “Chalder Fatigue Scale” (CFS) and “The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale” (PSQİ). Data were evaluated at the significance level of p<0,05 and at the 95% confidence interval. Results: This study were in the 26-33 age group %42,8 of the participants and %59,4 were women. . CFS mean physical and total score was 10,4±3,091, CFS mean mental fatigue score was 5,27±1, PSQİ mean score was 7,28±2,63. It was determined that the mental fatigue level of the participants who worked in the profession between 1-5 years was at a high level (p<0,05). It was determined that the physical fatigue level of those who have any chronic disease and who work in the shift system is at a high level (p<0,05). It was found that the sleep quality of the participants with a high education level and a disease process treated during this period was low (p<0,05). It was determined that the fatigue level of the health workers who had symptoms during the disease process was higher than the other participants and their sleep quality was lower(p<0,05). It was found that as the sleep quality of the participants increased, the level of physical and mental fatigue decreased (p<0,05). Conclusion: It was found that healthcare workers diagnosed with Covid-19 experienced moderate fatigue and their sleep quality was not good.
