Abstract

Uvod: Epidemije in pandemije predstavljajo velik problem in hkrati grožnjo zdravju celotnega prebivalstva. Bolezen COVID-19, ki jo povzroča SARS-CoV-2, je zaradi svoje sposobnosti hitrega širjenja povzročila okužbe po celotnem svetu, povzročila pa je tudi veliko stopnjo umrljivosti in trpljenja. Sploh za zdravstvene delavce pandemija predstavlja velik izziv, saj zaradi nezadostne zmogljivosti zdravstvenega sistema veliko zdravstvenega osebja dela več kot običajno in pod drugačnimi, težjimi delovnimi pogoji. Medicinske sestre, ki količinsko predstavljajo večinski delež zdravstvenih delavcev in pri svojem delu pacientom zagotavljajo zdravstveno oskrbo, se v času pandemije srečujejo z večjim tveganjem za težave na področju duševnega zdravja. Namen: Z diplomskim delom smo želeli raziskati učinke pandemije COVIDA-19 na duševno zdravje medicinskih sester. Metode dela: Pri pisanju diplomskega dela smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela, s katero smo pregledali domačo in tujo literaturo. Pregled literature je bil opravljen v podatkovnih bazah COBIB.si, CINAHL, Medline in ScienceDirect ter v spletnih iskalnikih PubMed in Google Učenjak. Iskanje literature je potekalo od decembra 2021 do konca junija 2022. Vključena je bila literatura, objavljena po letu 2015. Rezultati: V času pandemije so se medicinske sestre soočale s številnimi težavami in spremembami na delovnem mestu. Zdravstveni kader je trpel za pomanjkanjem osebja, prostorov in ustrezne opreme. Medicinske sestre so doživljale velike obremenitve, pritiske ter občutke utrujenosti, nemoči in tesnobe. Nekatere so trpele za depresijo, posttravmatsko stresno motnjo ter težavami, povezanimi s slabo kakovostjo spanja. Soočale so se tudi s stigmatizacijo in izgorelostjo na delovnem mestu. Razprava in zaključek: Zdravstvena nega je tako fizično kot čustveno zahteven poklic, ki je ob enem tudi zelo dragocen za celotno človeštvo. Pomembno bi bilo pravočasno prepoznavanje dejavnikov tveganja za slabše duševno zdravje, ki bi omogočilo boljšo pripravljenost in obvladovanje morebitnih prihodnjih valov COVIDA-19 ter kakovostno opravljeno delo s strani medicinskih sester.

Secondary title: ǂThe ǂimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of nurses
Secondary abstract: Introduction: Epidemics and pandemics represent a major problem and at the same time a threat to the health of the entire population. The disease COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has caused infections around the entire world due to its ability to spread rapidly, and has also caused a high level of mortality and suffering. Pandemic represents a major challenge for healthcare workers. Due to the insufficient capacity of the health system, many healthcare workers are working longer hours than usual and under different, more difficult working conditions. Nurses, who quantitatively represent the majority of healthcare workers and provide medical care to patients, face a greater risk of mental health problems during the pandemic. Purpose: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of nurses. Methods: When writing the thesis, we used a descriptive method of work, which was used to review domestic and foreign literature. The literature review was performed in the databases COBIB.si, CINAHL, Medline, ScienceDirect and browsers PubMed and Google Scholar. The literature search took place from December 2021 to the end of June 2022. Literature published after year 2015 was included. Results: During the pandemic, nurses were facing many problems and changes at work. Health care system suffered from lack of staff, premises, and adequate equipment. Nurses experienced heavy workloads, pressures and feelings of fatigue, helplessness, and anxiety. Some suffered from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and problems related to poor sleep quality. They also faced stigmatization and burnout at the workplace. Discussion and conclusion: Nursing is a physically and emotionally demanding profession, but very valuable to all humanity. Early identification of risk factors for poor mental health would be important to prepare for and manage possible future waves of COVID-19, as well as the quality of work done by nurses.
