Evaluation of Perceived Stress Levels of Radiology Workers Regarding COVID-19 Outbreak

Öz:
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceivedstress levels of radiology workers and associated factors during theCoronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) outbreak.Methods: A descriptive questionnaire prepared by the researcherswas completed online by employees who work in the radiologydepartment of various health institutions in Turkey. In our study,the perceived stress scale was used. The necessary ethics approval wasobtained for the study. SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0(Armonk, NY: IBM Corp) was used for statistical analysis of the data.Results: The average age of 573 radiology workers participating inthe study was 34.0±9.3 years and 50.1% were women. The scoresreceived by radiology workers from the perceived stress scale were27.8±6.4 (median: 27.0, minimum-maximum: 6-50). In our study,it was determined that the perceived stress score was statisticallysignificantly higher (p<0.05) in women and in those who lived withindividuals over the age of 60, those working as radiology technicians,those who had a chronic disease, those who increased smoking, thosewho used social media more often than before, those who had notreceived training on COVID-19 infection, those who thought thatthe measures taken against COVID-19 infection were insufficient,and those who had contact with a patient with COVID-19.Conclusion: In our study, we identified the perceived high stressrelatedfactors that we thought could be useful for psychologicalsupport during the COVID-19 outbreak. With early detection ofradiology workers at risk, we believe that both the mental health ofthe employees can be protected and workload loss can be prevented.

Radyoloji Çalışanlarının COVİD-19 Salgınıyla İlgili Algılanan Stres Düzeylerinin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz:
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı koronavirüs hastalığı-19 (COVİD-19) salgını sırasında radyoloji çalışanlarının algılanan stres düzeylerini ve bununla ilişkili faktörleri incelemektir. Yöntemler: 15 Nisan-18 Nisan 2020 tarihleri arasında araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan tanımlayıcı tipte anket Türkiye’deki çeşitli sağlık kuruluşlarının radyoloji departmanlarında görev yapan radyoloji çalışanları tarafından online dolduruldu. Çalışmamızda algılanan stres ölçeği (perceived stress scala) kullanıldı. Çalışma için gerekli etik izin alındı. Verilerin istatistiksel analizlerinde SPSS 22.0 paket programı kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 573 radyoloji çalışanının yaş ortalaması 34,0±9,3 yıl olup, %50,1’i kadındı. Radyoloji çalışanlarının algılanan stres ölçeğinden aldıkları puan 27,8±6,4 (median: 27,0, minimummaksimum: 6-50) idi. Çalışmamızda kadınların, 60 yaş üstü bireylerle birlikte yaşayanların, radyoloji teknisyeni/teknikeri olarak çalışanların, kronik bir hastalığa sahip olanların, sigara kullanımı artanların, sosyal medyayı eskisinden daha sık kullananların, COVİD-19’lu hastayla teması olanların, COVİD-19 enfeksiyonu ile ilgili bir eğitim almayanların ve COVİD-19 enfeksiyonuna karşı alınan önlemlerin yetersiz olduğunu düşünenlerin algıladıkları stresin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi (p<0,05). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, COVİD-19 salgını sırasında psikolojik destek için kullanılabileceğini düşündüğümüz algılanan yüksek stres ile ilişkili faktörleri tanımladık. Risk altındaki radyoloji çalışanlarının erken tespit edilmesiyle hem çalışanların ruh sağlığının korunabileceğini hem de iş yükü kaybının önlenebileceğini düşünüyoruz. Bununla birlikte risk gruplarına yönelik yapılacak etkili müdahaleler için daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
