Özet:

 The COVID-19 pandemic is the cause of the public health crisis facing healthcare systems in the recent period. Many systems on a global scale have been negatively affected by this virus. Among these systems, the main goal of health systems is to ensure the sustainability of health services. The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between the capacity and production of hospitals responding to the sudden increase in the need for healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic. To evaluate the similarities and differences of European countries according to capacity and production relationship. 2021 data was taken from the European Statistical Office website. The parameters used in the research are bed occupancy rate, average length of stay, number of CT investigations, number of MRI investigations in the production variable, number of hospital beds, number of CT devices, number of MRI devices in the capacity parameter, number of physicians and nurses per 100,000 people. The independent variable is capacity parameters, and the dependent variable is healthcare production parameters. Since these parameters have different scale types, they were analyzed by converting them into z scores. Correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Before regression analysis, correlation analysis was performed between variables. A positive correlation was determined between the number of CT devices and the surgery rate, and a negative correlation was determined between the number of hospital beds and the number of MRI examinations. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. According to Model 1, which was established according to the results of multiple regression analysis, the positions of the countries were determined by multidimensional scaling analysis. According to multidimensional scaling analysis, the countries most similar in the first dimension are Norway and Switzerland. In the second dimension, they are Bulgaria and Hungary.

 COVID-19 pandemisi, yakın dönemde sağlık sistemlerinin karşılaştığı halk sağlığı krizinin nedenidir. Küresel ölçekte birçok sistem bu virüsten olumsuz etkilenmiştir. Bu sistemlerden biri olan sağlık sistemlerinin temel amacı ise sağlık hizmetlerinin sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanmasıdır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, COVID-19 pandemisinde yaşanan sağlık hizmetine ihtiyacın ani artışına cevap veren hastanelerin kapasite ve üretimleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Kapasite ve üretim ilişkisine göre Avrupa ülkelerinin benzerlik ve farklılıklarını değerlendirmektir. 2021 yılı verileri Avrupa İstatistik Ofisi web sayfasından alınmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan parametreler üretim değişkeninde yatak doluluk oranı, ortalama kalış süresi, BT tetkik sayısı, MR tetkik sayısı, kapasite parametresinde hastane yatak sayısı, BT cihaz sayısı, MR cihaz sayısı, 100.000 kişi başına düşen hekim ve hemşire sayısıdır. Bağımsız değişken kapasite parametreleri, bağımlı değişken ise sağlık hizmeti üretim parametreleridir. Bu parametreler farklı ölçek türlerine sahip olduğundan z-skoruna dönüştürülerek analizler yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde korelasyon ve çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Regresyon analizi öncesinde değişkenler arasında korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. BT cihaz sayısı ile ameliyat oranı arasında pozitif korelasyon, hastane yatak sayısı ile MR tetkik sayısı arasında negatif korelasyon belirlenmiştir. Bağımsız değişkenin bağımlı değişken üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek amacıyla çoklu regresyon analizi yapılmıştır. Çoklu regresyon analiz sonuçlarına göre kurulan Model 1e göre ülkelerin konumları çok boyutlu ölçekleme analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Çok boyutlu ölçekleme analizine göre 1. Boyutta en çok benzeyen ülkeler Norveç ve İsviçredir. 2. Boyutta ise Bulgaristan ve Macaristandır.
