Abstract:

 Aim: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the attitudes of nurses working in surgical and intensive care settings towards their care roles and their coronavirus-related anxiety. Method: This descriptive and correlational study includes 111 nurses working in the surgical and intensive care units. The Nurse Information Form, Attitude Scale for Nurses in Caregiving Roles, and Coronavirus Anxiety Scale Short Form were used for data collection. Results: The mean score of the Attitude Scale for Nurses in Caregiving Roles was 4.350.48. Intensive care nurses attitude scores related to roles in meeting self-care needs and counseling and  protecting individuals and respecting their rights were higher than surgical nurses. The mean anxiety score of the nurses regarding coronavirus was 3.273.68, and surgical nurses had higher scores. There was no statistically significant relationship between the nurses attitudes toward caregiving roles and their coronavirus anxiety. Conclusion: Attitudes toward the caregiving roles of the nurses working in surgical and intensive care settings were highly positive and they had low coronavirus anxiety. While performing their professional roles, it was seen that the nurses did not reflect the effects of their mood on the care they provide and maintained their professionalism.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada, cerrahi ve yoğun bakım ortamlarında çalışan hemşirelerin bakım rollerine yönelik tutumları ile koronavirüsle ilişkili yaşadıkları kaygı arasındaki ilişkinin incelemesi amaçlandı. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı nitelikteki çalışmaya cerrahi ve yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan 111 hemşire katıldı. Veriler Hemşire Bilgi Formu, Hemşirelerin Bakım Verme Rollerine Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği ve Koronavirüs Kaygı Ölçeği Kısa Formu ile toplandı. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin Bakım Verme Rollerine Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği puan ortalaması 4,350,48 idi. Yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin öz bakım ihtiyaçlarını karşılama ve danışmanlık ve bireyleri koruma ve haklarına saygı gösterme rollerine ilişkin tutum puanları cerrahi hemşirelerine göre daha yüksekti. Hemşirelerin koronavirüse ilişkin ortalama kaygı puanı 3,273,68 olup, cerrahi hemşirelerinin puanları daha yüksekti. Hemşirelerin bakım rollerine yönelik tutumları ile koronavirüs kaygıları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı. Sonuç: Cerrahi ve yoğun bakım ortamlarında çalışan hemşirelerin bakım verme rollerine yönelik tutumları oldukça olumluydu ve koronavirüse ilişkin kaygıları düşüktü. Hemşirelerin mesleki rollerini yerine getirirken ruh hallerinin etkilerini verdikleri bakıma yansıtmadıkları ve profesyonelliklerini korudukları görüldü.
