ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 sürecinde bir kamu hastanesinde çalışan hekim ve hemşirelerin iş yükü, işe bağlı gerginlik ve izolasyon önlemlerine uyum düzeylerini ve iş yükü ve işe bağlı gerginliğin izolasyona uyuma etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın verileri, Kasım 2020-Şubat 2021 tarihleri arasında İstanbul ilinde bulunan bir kamu hastanesinde çalışan ve çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 91 hekim ve 386 hemşireden (n=477) toplandı. Veriler; kişisel bilgi formu, iş yükü, işe bağlı gerginlik ve izolasyon önlemlerine uyum ölçekleri kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular: Hekim ve hemşirelerde iş yükü ve işe bağlı gerginlik skoru ortalamanın üstünde, izolasyon önlemlerine uyum skoru ise yüksek düzeyde saptandı. Sağlık çalışanlarında iş yükü ile işe bağlı gerginlik arasında anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü, işe bağlı gerginlik ile izolasyon önlemlerine uyum arasında anlamlı ve negatif yönlü bir ilişkinin olduğu belirlendi. İş yükü ve işe bağlı gerginliğin izolasyon önlemlerine uyumu anlamlı bir şekilde etkilediği görüldü.
