SAĞLIK ÇALIŞANLARININ COVID-19 PANDEMİSİ DÖNEMİNDE UYKU KALİTESİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI
Amaç
Bu çalışma, hastane çalışanlarında, pandemi döneminde
yoğun iş temposu ile uyku kalitesi arasındaki
ilişkinin araştırılması amacıyla yapıldı.
Gereç ve Yöntem
Kesitsel tipteki araştırmamıza hastanede çalışan sağlık
çalışanları dahil edildi. Veriler hastanede pandemi
sürecinde aktif olarak görev alan personele; Tanıtıcı
Anket Formu, Pandemi Değerlendirme Anketi ve Pittsburg
Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi kullanılarak elde edildi.
Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde; tanımlayıcı istatistik,
ki-kare, korelasyon, t testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi
(ANOVA) kullanıldı.
Bulgular
Çalışmamıza hemşire, sağlık teknisyeni, doktor, idari
personel ve temizlik personelinden oluşan toplam 103
sağlık çalışanı (Erkek: 36 (%35), Kadın: 67 (%65)) katıldı.
Çalışanların görev süresi ortalaması 14,12±9,73
yıl olarak saptandı. Sağlık profesyonellerinin vücut
kitle indeksi (VKİ) erkek: 26,33±3,13 kg/m2, kadın:
24,07±3,70 kg/m2 olarak bulundu. Çalışmamıza katılan
sağlık profesyonellerinin çoğunluğu cerrahi Bölümde
(25 (%24,3)), yoğun Bakımda (19 (%18,4), acil
serviste (15 (%14,6)) ve idari kısımda (13 (%12,6)) çalışmaktaydı.
Geri kalanları laboratuvarda (9 (%8,7)),
COVID-19 polikliniğinde (7 (%6,8)), ve diyalizde (5
(%4,9)) çalışmaktaydı. Pandemi öncesi uyku bozukluğu
ve buna bağlı olarak ilaç kullanım oranı düşüktü.
Pandemi sürecinde; sağlık profesyonellerinde Hemşire
ve Temizlik Personeli arasında istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı farklılık vardı ve PUKİ puanları Hemşirelerde
yüksek bulundu (p=0,002).
Sonuç
Pandemi döneminde hastane çalışanlarında uyku
kalitesinin artan iş yükü ile beraber azaldığı ve artan
kaygı düzeyleri ile beraber sağlık çalışanlarının yaşamını
olumsuz etkilediği saptandı.
INVESTIGATION OF SLEEP QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PERIOD
Objective
This study was conducted to investigate the
relationship between intense work tempo and sleep
quality in hospital workers during the pandemic period.
Material and Method
Healthcare workers working in the hospital were
included in our cross-sectional study. The data were
collected using the Introductory Questionnaire, the
Pandemic Evaluation Questionnaire and the Pittsburg
Sleep Quality Index of the personnel actively involved
in the pandemic process in the hospital. In the
evaluation of the data; descriptive statistics, chisquare,
correlation, t-test and ANOVA analysis were
performed.
Results
A total of 103 healthcare workers (Male: 36 (35%),
Female, 67 (65%)) including nurses, healthcare
technicians, doctors, administrative personnel
and cleaning personnel participated in our study.
The average tenure of the employees was
14.12±9.73 years. Body mass index (BMI) of health
professionals was found to be male: 26.33±3.13
kg/m2, female: 24.07±3.70 kg/m2. The majority of
health professionals participating in our study were
in the Surgery Department (25 (24.3%), Intensive
Care (19 (18.4%), Emergency Service (15 (14.6%))
and Administrative Department (13 (12.6%) The rest
were working in the Laboratory (9 (8.7%), COVID-19
outpatient clinics (7 (6.8%)), Dialysis (5 (4.9%)).
Pre-pandemic sleep disorder and accordingly the
rate of drug use were found to be low. A significant
correlation was found between the PUKI score
and the frequency of sleep disturbance before the
pandemic (r2=0.579; p=0.001) and the consumption
of caffeinated beverages (r2=0.373; p=0.001). There
was a statistically significant difference between
nurses and cleaning staff in health professionals, and
PUKI scores were found to be high in nurses in the
pandemic term (p=0.002).
Conclusion
During the pandemic period, it was determined that
the sleep quality of the hospital staff decreased with
the increasing workload and negatively affected the
lives of the health workers with the increasing anxiety
levels.
