Özet:

 Objective : With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare professionals have been at the forefront of the fight against this disease. This infection, which affects the whole world, has created a situation that causes concern for healthcare workers. In this study, we aimed to examine the level of anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic in healthcare workers working in the operating room unit. Material and Methods: Doctors, operating room nurses, anesthesia technicians and operating room cleaning staff working in the operating room units of various hospitals in Malatya were included in the study. By sending the survey link via Whatsapp, the survey was answered via https:docs.google.comforms. The Fear of COVID-19 Scale, developed by Ahorsu et al. was used in our questionnaire. Results: We found that the average of the COVID-19 anxiety level of the anesthesia technicians was statistically significantly higher than the nurses,operating room cleaning staff and doctors. Conclusion: The provision of safe working conditions should be included in health policies in order to minimize the anxiety caused by the COVID-19 epidemic on healthcare workers.

 Amaç: COVID-19 pandemisinin başlamasıyla birlikte sağlık çalışanları bu hastalıkla mücadelede ön saflarda yer almıştır. Tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan bu enfeksiyon sağlık çalışanlarını endişeye sevk eden bir durum yarattı. Bu çalışmada ameliyathane ünitesinde görevli sağlık çalışanlarının COVID-19 pandemisi ile ilgili kaygı düzeylerini incelemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Malatyada çeşitli hastanelerin ameliyathanelerine görev yapan doktorlar, ameliyathane hemşireleri, anestezi teknisyenleri ve ameliyathane temizlik personeli çalışmaya dahil edildi. Anket linki Whatsapp üzerinden gönderilerek anket https:docs.google.comforms üzerinden cevaplanmıştır. Ahorsu ve diğerleri tarafından geliştirilen COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği anketimizde kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Anestezi teknisyenlerinin COVID-19 kaygı düzeyi ortalamasının hemşirelere, ameliyathane temizlik görevlilerine ve doktorlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğunu bulduk. Sonuç: COVID-19 salgınının sağlık çalışanları üzerinde yarattığı kaygıyı en aza indirmek için güvenli çalışma koşullarının sağlanması sağlık politikalarına dahil edilmelidir.
