ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, pandeminin Irak'taki hemşirelerin ruh sağlığı durumu üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmek. Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemisi, dünya çapında milyonlarca insanın hayatını değiştiren büyük bir sağlık krizidir. Koronavirüsler, hayvanlara ve insanlara bulaşabilen ve şiddetli akut solunum sendromu, Orta Doğu solunum sendromu ve COVID19'a neden olabilen virüs grubudur. Hemşireler, sağlık hizmetlerinde birincil hizmet sağlayıcılardır. Enfeksiyöz hastalarla yakın temasta olan hemşirelerin ruh sağlıklarını, özellikle stres, kaygı ve intihar düşüncesi açısından düzenli olarak kontrol ettirmeleri ve gözetim altında tutmaları gerekir. Böylece hastalara iyi bakım sağlamak için optimum yaşam kalitesi ve ruh sağlığına sahip olabilirler. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Irak'taki toplam örnek çalışma (1.000) hemşire, Mart-Mayıs 2021 arasında çevrim içi bir anket doldurdu. Psikolojik etki, Depresyon Kaygısı Stres Ölçeği-21 kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışma, COVID-19'un ruh sağlığı durumu üzerindeki etkisini (anksiyete stresi) ve COVID-19'un hemşireler için ruh sağlığı durumu (depresyon) üzerinde hiçbir etkisi olmadığını ortaya koydu (sırasıyla p=0,040, p=0,045). Sonuç: COVID-19'un hemşirelerin ruh sağlığı durumu üzerindeki etkisi. Öneri: COVID-19 pandemisinin patlak vermesi sırasında sağlık üzerinde psikolojik bir yük oluşturan kronik stres, anksiyete ve depresyondan, hastalığın ve nasıl önlenebileceğinin aydınlatılarak hemşirelerin korunması ve hastalara kişisel koruyucu donanımların sağlanması.
