Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the self-efficacy status of the nurses who care for COVID-19 patients and the factors affecting this process.
Methods: The study is based on descriptive and relational design. Ethics committee approval was obtained before the study, the formula n = t2 x p x q / d2 was used in the sample calculation, and data were collected in a digital environment.
Results: Self-efficacy levels are observed to be high in nurses involved in the COVID-19 process. It has been found that age, gender, educational background, affiliated institutions of participants does not affect self-efficacy. The self-efficacy level is high among nurses who are satisfied with the unit they work in. Besides, those with high levels of anxiety also have high self-efficacy total and subscale scores. It can be said that those with high anxiety are constantly on the alert and are more diligent in patient care and professional practice.
Conclusion: It has been observed that workplace satisfaction is important to increase the self-efficacy of nurses, and relevant improvements should be achieved to provide them comfort and increase their satisfaction.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 hastalarına bakım veren hemşirelerin öz-yeterlik durumlarını ve bu süreci etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir.
Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel desendedir. Çalışma öncesi etik kurul onayı alınmış, örneklem hesabında n=t2 x p x q/d2 formülü kullanılmış ve veriler dijital ortamda toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: COVID-19 sürecine dahil olan hemşirelerde öz yeterlilik düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Katılımcıların yaşı, cinsiyeti, eğitim durumu, bağlı olduğu kurum öz yeterliği etkilemediği bulunmuştur. Çalıştığı birimden memnun olan hemşirelerin öz-yeterlik düzeyi yüksektir. Ayrıca kaygı düzeyi yüksek olanların öz-yeterlik toplam ve alt ölçek puanları da yüksektir. Kaygısı yüksek olanların sürekli tetikte oldukları, hasta bakımı ve mesleki uygulamalarda daha gayretli oldukları söylenebilir.
Sonuç: Hemşirelerin öz-yeterliklerini artırmak için iş yeri memnuniyetinin önemli olduğu, onlara rahatlık sağlamak ve memnuniyetlerini artırmak için ilgili iyileştirmelerin yapılması gerektiği görülmüştür.
