Özet:

 Objective: This study aims to examine nurses experiences in family and work life during the pandemic process. Methods: The research was conducted with the participation of 15 nurses who were selected by purposive sampling using the phenomenological approach. The interviews were conducted face-to-face and were audio-recorded. The evaluation of the data was determined by the content analysis technique. Results: In line with the data obtained from the research, four themes as effects on work-life, effects on family life, individual effects, and coping strategies were reached. Sub-themes were determined under each theme. During the pandemic, nurses stated that they experienced difficulties due to lack of personnel in business life and increased working hours, as well as decreased motivation due to financial dissatisfaction and feelings of worthlessness, and feelings of anxiety towards their colleagues. They stated that they were afraid of the spread of the disease to their families, they were away from their families, there was a change in the roles of spouses and parents, and they spent less time with their children. During the pandemic process, individually, they emphasized their physical and emotional fatigue and the happiness of the individuals they care for when they recover. In addition, nurses stated that they used both effective methods such as directing to various coping activities and suggestion and ineffective methods such as procrastination and increase in irrational thoughts. Conclusion: The present findings revealed the changes in the family and work life of nurses during the pandemic process and the techniques used. Since the increase in the workload of nurses and the worsening of working conditions affect family life in the pandemic, it is recommended to evaluate family and work life as a whole in coping with problems.

 Amaç: Bu araştırmada pandemi sürecinde hemşirelerin aile ve iş yaşantılarına yönelik deneyimlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma amaçlı örnek yöntemiyle fenomenolojik nitel tasarım kullanılarak 15 hemşire ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmeler yüz yüze gerçekleştirilmiş ve ses kaydı ile kaydedilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde içerik analizi tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda dört temaya ulaşılmıştır. Bu temalar; iş yaşamına dair etkiler, aile yaşamına dair etkiler, bireysel etkiler ve başetme stratejileridir. Her bir temanın altında alt temalar belirlenmiştir. Hastalığın ailelerine bulaşmasına yönelik korku duydukları, ailelerinden uzaklaştıkları, eş ve ebeveyn rollerinde değişim olduğu, çocuklarıyla daha az vakit geçirdiklerini belirtmişlerdir. Hemşireler pandemi sürecinde iş yaşamında personel yetersizliği, çalışma saatlerinin artmış olması nedeniyle çalışma şartlarından kaynaklı zorluklar yaşadıklarını, maddi tatminsizlik ve değersizlik hislerinden kaynaklı motivasyonlarında azalmalar meydana geldiğini, çalışma arkadaşlarına yönelikte anksiyete hislerini ifade etmişlerdir. Bireysel yönden bu süreçte fiziksel ve duygusal yorgunluklarını, bakım verdikleri bireylerin iyileştiğinde ise mutluluklarını vurgulamışlardır. Ayrıca hemşireler başetmeye yönelik çeşitli etkinliklere yönelme, telkin gibi etkili yöntemleri ve erteleme, irrasyonel düşüncelerde artış gibi etkisiz yöntemleri de kullanıldıkları belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu araştırmada elde edilen bulgular hemşirelerin pandemi sürecindeki aile ve iş yaşantısına yönelik değişimler ve kullanılan teknikleri ortaya koymaktadır. Pandemide hemşirelerin iş yükünün artması, çalışma koşullarının ağırlaşması aile yaşantısını da etkilediği için sorunlarla başetmede aile ve iş yaşamanın bütün olarak değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.
