Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı ameliyathane hemşirelerinin COVID-19, maske kullanımı ve karantina sürecine ilişkin algılarını, metaforlar aracılığıyla ortaya çıkarmaktır.
Yöntemler: Bu tanımlayıcı kalitatif çalışma ameliyathane hemşireleri ile yapılmıştır (n = 96). Çalışma verileri tanıtıcı özellikler formu ve yarı yapılandırılmış form kullanılarak Eylül 2020-Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Ameliyathane hemşirelerinden “COVID-19”, “maske kullanımı” ve “karantina süreci” kavramlarını neye benzettiklerini, benzetme nedeniyle birlikte yazması istenmiştir. Veriler, “içerik analizi” yöntemiyle incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Araştırmadaki üç farklı kavrama ilişkin toplam 181 metafor üretilmiştir. “COVID-19” kavramına ilişkin benzetmeler “Kontaminasyon ve mutasyon,” “Zarar verici” ve “Başetme ve uyum süreci” olarak üç kategoride toplanmıştır. “Karantina süreci” kavramına ilişkin benzetmeler “Özgürlüğün Kısıtlaması” ve “Değişim Süreci” olarak iki kategoride toplanmıştır. “Maske kullanımı” kavramına ilişkin benzetmeler ise “olumlu yönleri,” “olumsuz yönleri” ve “hem olumlu hem de olumsuz” olarak üç kategoride toplanmıştır.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma ameliyathanelerde çalışan hemşirelerin pandemide yaşadıkları zorlukların yansıra bu sürecin olumlu yönlerine de odaklandığını göstermektedir.

Operating Room Nurses’ Metaphorical Perceptions of Coronavirus Disease 2019, Quarantine, and Mask Concepts: A Qualitative Study

Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to reveal operating room nurses’ perceptions of coronavirus disease 2019, mask use, and quarantine process through metaphors.
Methods: This descriptive qualitative study was conducted with operating room nurses (n = 96). The study data were collected between September 2020 and March 2021 by using a descriptive characteristics form and a semistructured form. The operating room nurses were asked to write down what they compared the concepts of "COVID-19,” “mask use” and "quarantine process" to and the reason for their metaphors. The data were analyzed by using the “content analysis” method.
Results: A total of 181 metaphors were produced about the 3 different concepts in the study. The metaphors about the concept of “COVID-19” were grouped into 3 categories as “transmission mutation,” “harmful,” and “coping and adjustment process.” The metaphors about the concept of “quarantine process” were classified into 2 categories as “restriction of freedom” and “process of change.” The metaphors about “mask use” were grouped into 3 categories as “positive aspects,” “negative aspects,” and “both positive and negative aspects.”
Conclusion: This study shows that nurses working in operating rooms focus on the positive aspects of this process as well as the difficulties they have experienced during the pandemic.
