ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemisinde hemşirelik mesleğine ilişkin gazete haberlerinin retrospektif olarak incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın evrenini, Türkiye'deki 35 ulusal gazete, araştırmanın örneklemini baskı sayısı en yüksek ilk 3 gazete olan Hürriyet, Sabah ve Sözcü gazeteleri oluşturdu (Gazete tirajlarını belirlemede http://gazetetirajlari.com/ Ocak 2021 tarihli verileri esas alındı). Bu gazetelerin, Mart 2020-Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında yayımlanan haberlerinde 'hemşire', 'hemşirelik' anahtar kelimeleri ile tarama yapıldı. Araştırmanın örneklemini, hemşirelik ile doğrudan ilgili olan 267 haber oluşturdu. Haberler; 'COVID-19 ile ilgili hemşirenin bireysel olarak yaşadığı durumlar', 'COVID-19 ile ilgili hemşirenin mesleki olarak yaşadığı durumlar', 'COVID-19 dışında hemşirenin mesleki olarak yaşadığı durumlar' ve 'kişisel konular' olmak üzere toplam 4 tema altında gruplandırıldı. Nicel verilerin analizi SPSS 18 programında, frekans ve yüzdelik değerleri hesaplandı. Bulgular: Haberler temalar hâlinde incelendiğinde; %33'ünün 'COVID-19 ile ilgili hemşirenin bireysel olarak yaşadığı durumlar', %29,6'sının 'COVID19 dışında hemşirenin mesleki olarak yaşadığı durumlar', %19,9'unun 'COVID-19 ile ilgili hemşirenin mesleki olarak yaşadığı durumlar' ve %17,6'sının 'kişisel konular' içeren haberler olduğu görüldü. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, COVID-19 pandemisinde yazılı basında hemşirelere yer verildiği, yapılan hemşirelik haberlerinin çoğunun hemşirelerin COVID-19 olması/atlatması ve COVID-19 pandemisinde zorlu çalışma koşulları haberleri olduğu görüldü. Hemşirelerin olumlu bakım uygulamalarına daha az yer verildiği görüldü.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Gazeteler gündemi; hemşireler; COVID-19
ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively examine newspaper reports on nursing in the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID19) pandemic. Material and Methods: The universe of the study consisted of 35 national newspapers in Türkiye. The research sample consisted of Hürriyet, Sabah and Sözcü newspapers, which are the top 3 newspapers with the highest print numbers (The data of http://gazetetirajlari.com/ January 2021 were taken as basis in determining the newspaper circulation). The news of these newspapers published between March 2020 and January 2021 were examined with the keywords 'nurse' and 'nursing'. The sample of the study consisted of 267 news articles directly related to nursing. News; they were grouped under 4 themes: 'Situations experienced by a nurse individually related to COVID-19', 'occupational situations of a nurse related to COVID-19', 'occupational situations experienced by a nurse other than COVID-19' and 'personal issues'. SPSS 18 program was used in the analysis of quantitative data. Frequency and percentage values were calculated. Results: When the news is analyzed in terms of themes, 33% of them are 'the situations that the nurse has experienced individually related to COVID-19', 29.6% 'the situations where the nurse has experienced professionally other than COVID-19', 19.9% of the cases with COVID-19 'occupational situations experienced by the relevant nurse' and 17.6% of them were 'personal issues'. Conclusion: In this study, in the COVID-19 pandemic, it was seen that nurses were featured in the print media, and most of the nursing news was about the nurses' being/surviving COVID-19 and the difficult working conditions in the COVID-19 pandemic. It was observed that there was less emphasis on positive care practices of nurses.
