Özet:

 Purpose: Health workers have been greatly affected by the pandemic, both as a health worker and as a member of the society, and have gone out of their routine lifestyle and habits more than normal individuals. In the pandemic stage; intense, irregular and stressful work pace also disrupted the routine eating habits while increasing the need for nutrition. With this survey study, it is aimed to evaluate the nutritional habits, affecting factors and results of healthcare professionals during the Covid-19 pandemic stage. Materials and methods: For our study a questionnaire of 49 questions was prepared. It was continued between 01062020 and 01012021. Questionnaires were prepared on Google forms and sent to healthcare professionals via e-mail. Multiple-choice questions were asked about personal information such as the number of meals, whether they gained weight during the pandemic stage, foods believed to protect from Covid-19, nutritional supplements used during the pandemic period, and the reason for using supplements. The questions in the second category are; it mostly includes questions about changes in dietary and lifestyle of health workers during the pandemic period. It includes questions such as: My meal count has increased, My water consumption has increased, My night eating behavior has improved, My sleep pattern has been disrupted, I gained weight during the pandemic, I smoke more, I drink more tea and coffee, I try to exercise. The answers were obtained with a 3-point Likert scale agree, undecided, disagree. Results: It was determined that health workers experienced weight gain during the pandemic stage. It was determined that the average weight and average BMI of health professionals showed a statistically significant increase p0.01. It was noticed that the participants had an increase in the number of meals during the pandemic stage p0.001. It was noticed that the vast majority of the participants took vitamin and mineral supplements. Conclusion: We found that healthcare workers took additional mineral and vitamin supplements, increased the number of meals, and experienced weight gain during the pandemic. Because of this, health workers should be given healthy snacks with high nutritional value during the pandemic stage. By health managers and administrators; a management and organizational plan including a healthy nutrition program especially in extraordinary situations such as pandemics can be created, for health workers who are exposed to intense, irregular and stressful working conditions and who are in high risk groups.

 Amaç: Sağlık çalışanları, pandemiden hem bir sağlık çalışanı olarak hem de toplumun bir bireyi olarak fazlasıyla etkilenmiş, rutin yaşam şekli ve alışkanlıklarının dışına normal bireylere göre daha fazla çıkmıştır. Pandemi sürecinde yoğun, düzensiz, stresli çalışma temposu, beslenmeye olan ihtiyacı artırırken bir taraftan da rutin beslenme alışkanlıklarını bozmuştur. Bu anket çalışması ile sağlık çalışanlarının Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde beslenme alışkanlıkları, etkileyen faktörlerin ve sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmamız için 49 soruluk anket hazırlanmıştır. 01062020 tarihi ile 01012021 tarihleri arasında sürdürülmüştür. Google formlar üzerinden anket soruları hazırlanmış ve mail yoluyla sağlık çalışanlarına gönderilmiştir. Katılımcıların öğün sayısı, pandemi sürecinde kilo alıp almadıkları, Covid-19dan koruduğuna inanılan besinler, pandemi döneminde kullanılan besin takviyeleri ve takviye kullanma sebebi gibi kişisel bilgilere yönelik çoktan seçmeli sorular sorulmuştur. İkinci kategorideki sorular ise; daha çok sağlık çalışanlarının pandemi döneminde beslenme ve yaşam tarzındaki değişikliklerle ilgili soruları içermektedir. Öğün sayım arttı, su tüketimim arttı, gece yeme davranışım gelişti, uyku düzenim bozuldu, pandemi sürecinde kilo aldım, daha çok sigara içiyorum, daha çok çay-kahve içiyorum, egzersiz yapmaya çalışıyorum gibi maddelerden oluşan sorular yer almaktadır. Cevaplar 3lü likert skalası katılıyorum, kararsızım, katılmıyorum ile elde edilmiştir. Bulgular: Pandemi sürecinde sağlık çalışanlarının kilo artışı yaşadıkları tespit edildi. Sağlık çalışanlarının, ağırlık ortalamasının ve VKİ ortalamasının istatistiksel olarak anlamlı artış gösterdiği belirlendi p0.01. Katılımcıların pandemi sürecinde öğün sayısında artış olduğu tespit edildi p0.001. Katılımcıların çok büyük çoğunluğunun vitamin ve mineral takviyesi aldığı tespit edildi. Sonuç: Sağlık çalışanlarının pandemi süresince ek mineral ve vitamin takviyesi aldıkları, öğün sayısını artırdıkları ve kilo artışı yaşadıklarını tespit ettik. Bu sebeple sağlık çalışanlarına pandemi sürecinde, besleyici değeri yüksek, sağlıklı ara öğünler verilmesi gerekmektedir. Sağlık yönetici ve idarecileri tarafından, özellikle pandemi gibi olağanüstü durumlarda yoğun, düzensiz ve stresli çalışma koşullarına maruz kalan ve yüksek risk grubunda ki sağlık çalışanları için sağlıklı beslenme programını içeren bir yönetim ve organizasyon planı oluşturulabilir.
