Abstract

Aim: Health workers are the most important risk groups in the last century outbreaks. This situation creates anxiety in the relatives of healthcare workers as well as in healthcare workers. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the anxiety levels of the relatives of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: The study was designed as a longitudinal study in quantitative research design. In the study, data were collected regularly every day for 20 days between 20.03.2020-08.04.2020, when the coronavirus pandemic continued, and these data were associated with the data of the Ministry of Health. Results: One thousand one hundres and eighty participants' opinions were collected for the study. In the study process, it was observed that the anxiety level at 20.03.2020 was 8.25±5.36 and it increased to 17.21±17.07 on 08.04.2020. The relationship between the anxiety level of the participants and the total number of cases the total number of deaths were weak. There was a moderate correlation between the number of deaths per day and the number of patients recovering per day. In the study, it was shown that there is a moderate correlation between the anxiety levels and the level of knowledge of the opinion makers. In this upward trend, it has been observed that there are 3 breaking points: 23-24.03.2020, 28-29.03.2020 and 05-06.04.2020. Conclusion: In our study described the first cases of anxiety in the vicinity of 20 health workers in Turkey after the first day (twenty) were found to correlate with increased number of deaths in days. It was observed that anxiety level correlated weakly with the total number of cases / deaths, but moderately with the number of daily deaths / recovered patients in the relatives of the health studies. This situation was interpreted as that although the anxiety of healthcare workers was affected by the process, it was more affected by daily changes. Relatives as well as healthcare professionals also experienced a manageable anxiety during the COVID-19 outbreak. We believe that information and rehabilitation programs should be developed for the relatives of healthcare professionals in order to maintain the resilience / resiliency of healthcare professionals.

COVID-19大流行期间医疗保健专业人员亲属的焦虑水平:一项纵向研究
目的:卫生工作者是上世纪疫情中最重要的风险群体。这种情况使医护人员的亲属以及医护人员感到焦虑。本研究旨在评估COVID-19疫情期间医护人员亲属的焦虑水平。方法:采用定量研究设计的纵向研究。在研究中,在2020年3月20日至2020年4月8日期间,每天定期收集数据,持续20天,这些数据与卫生部的数据相关联。结果:本研究共收集了一千一百八十名参与者的意见。在研究过程中,观察到2020年3月20日焦虑水平为8.25±5.36,到2020年4月8日焦虑水平上升至17.21±17.07。参与者的焦虑水平与总病例数和总死亡人数之间的关系较弱。每天死亡人数与每天康复的患者人数之间存在中度相关性。研究表明,焦虑水平与舆论制造者的知识水平之间存在适度的相关关系。在这个上升趋势中,已经观察到有3个突破点:23-24.03.2020,28-29.03.2020和05-06.04.2020。结论:在我们的研究中描述了土耳其20名卫生工作者附近的第一例焦虑病例,发现第一天(20)后与几天内死亡人数增加有关。观察发现,焦虑水平与健康研究亲属的总病例数/死亡人数呈弱相关,但与每日死亡/康复患者人数呈中等相关。这种情况可以解释为,医护人员的焦虑虽然受到过程的影响,但更多的是受到日常变化的影响。在COVID-19爆发期间,亲属和医疗保健专业人员也经历了可控的焦虑。我们认为,应该为医疗保健专业人员的亲属制定信息和康复计划,以保持医疗保健专业人员的弹性/弹性。关键词:焦虑,冠状病毒,流行病,家庭医学
