Özet:

 Objective: The study was carried out to examine the symptoms and laboratory and thoracic computed tomography findings of COVID-19-positive healthcare professionals in northeastern Turkey. Material and Method: The sample of this descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective study consisted of 146 healthcare professionals who had positive COVID-19. Data were collected using electronic data from the hospital information management system and the personal health records of healthcare professionals. Results: 50.6 of COVID-19-positive healthcare professionals were symptomatic, 49.4 were asymptomatic, 52.7 of nurses, midwives, and health officers, and those who were symptomatic experienced the most cough, muscle-joint pain, and fatigue. Healthcare workers had a high leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet mean, C reactive protein, and D-dimer, and 24.1 had COVID-19-compatible thorax computed tomography. Symptomatic healthcare professionals had a lower median of leukocyte and a higher median of C reactive protein and procalcitonin compared to asymptomatic healthcare professionals. Healthcare professionals with COVID-19 compatible thorax computed tomography had a lower leukocyte, median, and platelet mean, lower high C reactive protein median, and higher D-dimer median. Conclusion: The study found that half of the healthcare professionals are symptomatic, and leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, C reactive protein, and platelet values affect the development of COVID-19-compatible thoracic computed tomography. The results can be used as a knowledge base for research and by health workers and institutional authorities to implement methods to improve prevention levels.

 Amaç: Araştırma, Türkiyenin kuzeydoğusunda COVID-19 pozitif sağlık çalışanlarının semptomlarını, laboratuvar ve toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi bulgularını incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı, kesitsel ve retrospektif tasarıma sahip bu araştırmanın örneklemini COVID-19 pozitif olan 146 sağlık profesyoneli oluşturmuştur. Veriler, hastane bilgi yönetim sisteminin elektronik verileri ve sağlık çalışanlarının kişisel sağlık kayıtları kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: COVID-19 pozitif sağlık çalışanlarının 52,7si hemşire, ebe ve sağlık memuru, 50,6sının semptomatik, 49,4ünün asemptomatik olduğu ve semptomatik olanların en fazla öksürük, kas-eklem ağrısı ve yorgunluğu yaşadığı belirlendi. Sağlık çalışanlarının lökosit, nötrofil, lenfosit, trombosit ortalaması, C reaktif protein, D-dimer değerlerinin yüksek olduğu ve 24,1inin COVID-19 uyumlu toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisi olduğu tespit edildi. Semptomatik sağlık çalışanlarının asemptomatik sağlık çalışanlarına kıyasla lökosit sayısı medyanının daha düşük, C reaktif protein ve prokalsitonin değerleri medyanının daha yüksek olduğu bulundu. COVID-19 uyumlu toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisi olan sağlık çalışanlarının lökosit, medyan ve trombosit değerleri ortalamasının daha düşük, C reaktif protein medyanının daha düşük ve D-dimer medyanının daha yüksek olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Çalışmada sağlık çalışanlarının yarısının semptomatik olduğu ve lökosit, nötrofil, lenfosit, C reaktif protein ve trombosit değerlerinin COVID-19 uyumlu torasik bilgisayarlı tomografi gelişimini etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar, araştırmalar için bilgi tabanı oluşturmak, sağlık çalışanları ve kurum yetkilileri tarafından korunma düzeylerini iyileştirmeye yönelik yöntemleri uygulamak için kullanılabilir.
