DETERMINATION OF HEALTH-RELATED PROBLEMS DEVELOPED DUE TO THE USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN NURSES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PROCESS
Öz: This study was conducted to determine the health-related problems experienced by nurses due to the use of personal protective equipment during the Covid-19 pandemic process. This descriptive study was conducted between June and August 2021 with nurses working in three different hospitals and filiation teams in two different cities. It was found that 93.4% of the nurses received training on the use of personal protective equipment, 58.3% thought that the equipment had poor quality, and 61% restricted their fluid intake while using personal protective equipment. It was also found that 48.2% of the nurses had pressure sores, 84.6% had excessive sweating, 44.3% had hyperthermia, and 52.6% had dehydration. In addition, 64.9% of the participants were found to experience latex allergy due to the use of gloves, 82% of them experienced pain/deformation in the auricle, and 89% of them had a headache due to the use of masks. In conclusion, this study determined that the majority of nurses experienced health problems related to the use of personal protective equipment, and more than half of them thought that the equipment had poor quality.
Anahtar Kelime: COVID-19 PANDEMİ SÜRECİNDE HEMŞİRELERDE KİŞİSEL KORUYUCU EKİPMAN KULLANIMI NEDENİYLE GELİŞEN SAĞLIKLA İLİŞKİLİ SORUNLARIN BELİRLENMESİ
Öz: Bu çalışma hemşirelerin Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanımı nedeniyle yaşadıkları sağlıkla ilişkili sorunların belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu araştırma, iki farklı ildeki üç farklı hastanede ve birinci basamakta filyasyon ekiplerinde görev yapmakta olan hemşirelerle Haziran-Ağustos 2021 tarihleri yürütülmüştür.Hemşirelerin %93.4’ünün kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanımı ile ilgili eğitim aldıkları, %58.3’ünün ekipmanlarda kalite sorunu olduğunu düşündükleri ve%61’inin koruyucu ekipman kullanırken sıvı alımında kısıtlamaya gittikleri belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelerin %48.2’sinde basınç yaraları oluştuğu, %84.6’sında aşırı terleme, %44.3’ünde hipertermi ve %52.6’sında dehidratasyon sorunu yaşandığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca eldiven kullanımına bağlı %64.9’unda lateks alerjisi, maske kullanımına bağlı %82’sinde kulak kepçesinde ağrı/deformasyon ve %89’unda baş ağrısı yaşandığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışmada hemşirelerin büyük çoğunluğunun kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanımına bağlı sağlık sorunları yaşadıkları ve yarısından fazlasının ekipmanları kalitesiz bulduğu saptanmıştır.
