Özet:

 Objective: This study was aimed to determine the compliance of nurses caring for patients with COVID-19 with isolation measures and the relationship between nurses fear and anxiety of COVID-19 and their compliance with isolation measures. Material and Method: This cross-sectional study using direct observation was carried out between February and May 2021. The study sample consists of 57 nurses. Data were collected with The Compliance with Isolation Precautions Scale, The Coronavirus Fear Scale, The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, and Observation Form for Compliance with Isolation Precautions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics number-percent, meanstandard deviation, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis analysis, Spearman correlation analysis. Results: The compliance of the nurses with the isolation precautions was 80.079.70. 73.7 of the nurses did not wear the personal protective equipment in the correct order and 78.9 did not take it off correctly. The COVID-19 fears levels of the nurses were 15.615.94, and their anxiety levels were 0.981.74. No correlation was found between COVID-19 fears, anxiety and compliance with isolation measures. Conclusion: The nurses evaluated their isolation compliance level as good but as a result of the observation, they did not apply the personal protective equipment wearing and removing steps with the correct technique. The nurses fear of COVID-19 was moderate, their anxiety was low, and there was no relationship with this variables and their compliance with isolation measures. Making arrangements and training related to compliance with isolation measures may be important in combating COVID-19 and similar threats.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19lu hastalara bakım veren hemşirelerin izolasyon önlemlerine uyumunu ve hemşirelerin COVID-19 korku ve kaygıları ile izolasyon önlemlerine uyumları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Doğrudan gözlemin kullanıldığı bu kesitsel çalışma, Şubat-Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmanın örneklemini 57 hemşire oluşturmaktadır. İzolasyon Önlemlerine Uyum Ölçeği, Koronavirüs Korku Ölçeği, Koronavirüs Kaygı Ölçeği ve İzolasyon Önlemlerine Uyum Gözlem Formu ile veriler toplandı. Veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistikler yüzde sayı, ortalamastandart sapma, Mann-Whitney U testi ve Kruskal-Wallis analizi, Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin izolasyon önlemlerine uyumu 80.079.70 idi. Hemşirelerin 73,7si kişisel koruyucu donanımını doğru sırada takmadı ve 78,9u doğru sırada çıkarmadı. Hemşirelerin COVID-19 korku düzeyleri 15,615,94, kaygı düzeyleri 0,981,74 olarak bulundu. COVID-19 korkusu, kaygısı ve izolasyon önlemlerine uyum arasında bir ilişki bulunmadı. Sonuç: Hemşireler izolasyon uyum düzeylerini iyi olarak değerlendirdiler ancak gözlem sonucunda kişisel koruyucu donanım giyme ve çıkarma adımlarını doğru teknikle uygulamadıkları görüldü. Hemşirelerin COVID-19 korkusu orta, kaygıları düşük ve bu değişkenler ile izolasyon önlemlerine uyumları arasında ilişki yoktu. İzolasyon önlemlerine uyum ile ilgili düzenleme ve eğitimlerin yapılması COVID-19 ve benzeri tehditlerle mücadelede önemli olabilir.
