20.500.12556/DiRROS-26654 COVID-19 experiences and fears among nurses: a cross-sectional study Izkušnje in strahovi medicinskih sester v času covida-19 presečna raziskava Introduction: COVID-19 has profoundly affected people's physical and mental health. Nurses, a crucial part of the healthcare workforce, face considerable anxiety due to the risk of infection. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between COVID-19 fear levels among infected and non-infected nurses and to identify the influencing factors.Methods: For this cross-sectional study, data were collected through an online survey from 20 to 27 December 2020. A total of 281 nurses in Turkey participated, of whom 95 were COVID-19-positive and 186 were COVID-negative. Data were collected using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. Descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.Results: The sample consisted of 58.9% women and 41.1% men. Of the participants who tested positive, 42.1% had cared for COVID-19 patients on the night shift, compared to 35.5% of those who tested negative. Both groups reported using inadequate protective equipment. COVID-19-positive nurses reported an anxiety score of 22.89 (s = 8.97), while COVID-19-negative nurses reported an anxiety score of 21.10 (s = 7.11).Discussion and conclusion: Higher anxiety levels were observed among nurses who tested positive for COVID-19. These results emphasise the need for more support and resources for nurses. It is important to address nurses' anxiety and take appropriate measures, including reasonable shift schedules and psychological support. Uvod: Covid-19 močno vpliva tako na posameznikovo telesno kot tudi na duševno zdravje. Medicinske sestre kot ključna skupina zaposlenih v zdravstvu doživljajo precejšnjo zaskrbljenost zaradi tveganja okužbe. Namen raziskave je bil preučiti razmerje med stopnjo strahu zaradi virusa covid-19 med okuženimi in neokuženimi medicinskimi sestrami ter opredeliti dejavnike, ki na to vplivajo. Metode: Podatki za presečno raziskavo so bili zbrani s spletno anketo, ki je potekala med 20. in 27. decembrom 2020. Sodelovalo je 281 medicinskih sester iz Turčije, od katerih je bilo 95 pozitivnih in 186 negativnih na koronavirusno bolezen. Podatke smo zbrali z Lestvico strahu zaradi covida-19 (angl.: Fear of COVID-19 Scale). Za analizo podatkov smo uporabili opisno statistiko, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, enosmerni test ANOVA, Mann-Whitneyjev U-test in Kruskal-Wallisov test. Statistična pomembnost je bila določena s p < 0,05.Rezultati: Vzorec sestavlja 58,9 % žensk in 41,1 % moških. Med udeleženci, ki so bili pozitivni na testu, je 42,1 % skrbelo za paciente s koronavirusno boleznijo med nočno izmeno v primerjavi s 35,5 % tistih, ki so bili pri testiranju negativni. Obe skupini sta poročali o uporabi neustrezne zaščitne opreme. Medicinske sestre, pozitivne na covid-19, so izrazile višjo stopnjo zaskrbljenosti (22,89, s = 8,97) kot tiste, ki so bile negativne (21,10, s = 7,11).Razprava in zaključek: Med medicinskimi sestrami in zdravstveniki, pozitivnimi na covid-19, je bila opažena višja stopnja zaskrbljenosti. Te ugotovitve poudarjajo potrebo po povečanju sredstev, namenjenim zdravstvenim delavcem. Bistveno je, da se strahovi zaposlenih primerno obravnavajo in se zagotovi izvajanje ustreznih ukrepov, vključno z učinkovitim načrtovanjem delovnih izmen in nudenjem psihološke podpore.
