Assessment of depression and quality of life in intensive care unit nurses in a tertiary care hospital

Previous studies have shown that intensive care units (ICU) are among the most aggressive, tense and traumatic environments in the hospital. Intensive care units can cause physical and mental frazzle and damage in health care workers as much as they are for patients. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate depression and quality of life in ICU nurses in a tertiary care hospital. One hundred twenty ICU nurses, working more than 2 years in second and tertiary adult intensive care units, was included. The SF-36 Quality of Life Scale was used to assess the quality of life. The Beck Depression Inventory was used to assess depression. The demographic data of the participants were also questioned through a separate form. The average age of nurses involved in the study 31.29 years old and 65% female, 70% married, 63% have children, and 31% were smokers. There was no statistically significant difference in the quality of life and depression scale scores of the participants according to age, gender, marital status, child ownership status, duration of intensive care study and smoking (p> 0.05). In conclusion, sociodemographic characteristics such as age, gender, marital status, having children, duration of intensive care study and smoking did not affect the quality of life and depression level of intensive care nurses working in a tertiary hospital.
