ABSTRACT
 Objective: Nurses all over the world have been reported to show high infection rates, extreme fatigue, psychological distress, and mass trauma during the pandemic. Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), which is an important life trauma, may also contribute to psychological growth. This study was conducted to determine nurses' pandemic-driven posttraumatic growth experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on satisfaction with life. Material and Methods: The study sample consisted of 517 nurses. The data were collected online between April 13 and June 13, 2021, by using the descriptive information form, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Results: The mean scores of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and Satisfaction with Life Scale were 51.66±18.97 and 11.44±8.94, respectively. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory score of those who had lost a relative from COVID-19 was higher than those who had not. Having a family member with a history of COVID-19, providing care for patients with COVID-19, and working in the COVID-19 unit were effective factors in the mean scores of the Satisfaction with Life Scale. A weak, positive, significant, and linear relationship was found between the Satisfaction with Life Scale and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory. Conclusion: This study revealed that the pandemic affected nurses' posttraumatic growth and satisfaction with life negatively and that there was a positive relationship between posttraumatic growth and satisfaction with life.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Pandeminin başından bu yana tüm dünyada hemşirelerde; yüksek enfeksiyon oranları, aşırı yorgunluk, psikolojik distres ve kitlesel travma oluştuğu bildirilmektedir. Önemli bir yaşam travması olan koronavirüs hastalığı-2019'un [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] psikolojik gelişime katkı verebileceği de düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelerin COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde yaşadıkları travma sonrası büyüme durumlarının ve bunun yaşam doyumlarına etkisinin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın örneklemini, 517 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verileri çevrim içi olarak 13 Nisan-13 Haziran 2021 tarihleri arasında tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Travma Sonrası Büyüme Envanteri ve Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların Travma Sonrası Büyüme Envanteri puan ortalaması 51,66±18,97'dir. Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği puan ortalaması 11,44±8,94'tür. COVID-19 nedeniyle bir yakınını kaybedenlerin Travma Sonrası Büyüme Envanteri puanı kaybetmeyenlere göre daha yüksekti. Ailesinde COVID-19 enfeksiyonu geçirme, COVID-19 enfeksiyonu olan bir hastaya bakım verme, COVID-19 ünitesinde çalışma, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği puan ortalamalarında etkili faktörlerdir. Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği puanı ile Travma Sonrası Büyüme Envanteri arasında zayıf düzeyde, pozitif yönde, anlamlı ve doğrusal ilişki olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, pandeminin hemşirelerin travma sonrası büyüme ve yaşam doyumlarını olumsuz etkilediğini, travma sonrası büyüme ile yaşam doyumu arasında pozitif yönlü bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
