This study aimed to investigate of the relationship between coronaphobia and compliance with isolation precautions of nurses on the front line in the fight combating coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted via a web-based questionnaire with 614 nurses working in the pandemic wards from July to November 2020. Data were obtained by using the Personal Information Form, the COVID-19 Phobia Scale, and the Isolation Precautions Compliance Scale. Results: The average age of the nurses was 28.13±5.32 years and 71.2% of them were women. The COVID-19 Phobia Scale mean score of the participants was found to be 55.15±13.26, and the mean score of the Isolation Precautions Compliance Scale was 74.18±9.64. Isolation Precautions Compliance Scale total mean scores of the nurses were found to be significantly positively associated with psychological subscale scores (p<0.001) on COVID-19 Phobia Scale; and significantly negatively associated with psycho-somatic sub-scale scores (p<0.001) and economic sub-scale scores (p<0.001). However, no statistically significant association was found between the COVID-19 Phobia Scale total mean scores and the Isolation Precautions Compliance Scale total mean scores of the nurses (p=0.084). Conclusion: This study showed that there was no relationship between nurses' coronavirus phobia and compliance with isolation measures. However, as nurses' psychological phobia related to coronavirus increased, their compliance with isolation measures increased, and as their psychosomatic and economic phobias increased, their compliance with isolation measures decreased.

Aralık 2019 yılında Çin'in Hubey eyaletine bağlı Wuhan kentinde görülen ve tüm dünya genelinde yayılan koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] virüsü küresel boyutta, pek çok kişiyi etkilemiş ve belirli risk grubundaki kişiler başta olmak üzere birçok insanın hayatını kaybetmesine yol açmıştır. 1-3 Sağlık Bakanlığının 5 Ocak 2022 tarihli verilerine göre ülkemizde toplam vaka sayısının 9.720.861 kişi olduğu ve toplam vefat sayısının 83.075 kişi olduğu görülmektedir. 1 COVID-

“…[7] In another study, it was pointed out that 708 healthcare workers died from COVID-19 worldwide until April 27, 2020; 365 (51.5%) of these were physicians, and 126 (17.9%) were nurses. [8] In our study, we investigated in which operations and age group the surgeons serving during the epidemic were under a greater risk. The patients who need a surgical operation for non-deferrable diseases such as malignancy, in particular, isolate themselves in preventive quarantine and constitute a lower risk in terms of infecting the surgical team.…”

BACKGROUND:Although elective operations in general surgery clinics were postponed during the pandemic, non-deferrable operations such as emergency trauma, acute abdominal, and cancer surgeries continued. We aimed to present emergency and non-deferrable elective surgery cases in our hospital's general surgery clinic during the pandemic, to identify the general surgery patients that pose the greatest risk for healthcare workers who served these patients, and to share our experience in these situations. METHODS:The study was designed as a retrospective cohort study. The study included patients admitted for emergency and non-deferrable elective surgeries in Kartal Dr. Lutfi Kirdar City Hospital in Istanbul between March 10, 2020, and May 23, 2020. The patients were tested before the operation for severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. They were also routinely checked for fever and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms during dressing changes and outpatient follow-up visits after discharge as well as through the national health monitoring system (e-nabız) whether the patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 within the 15 days of discharge. Patients who tested positive in the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests in the first 15 days after discharge or had infiltration in thorax tomography were considered suspicious in terms of hospital transmission. RESULTS:During the COVID-19 pandemic period between March 10, 2020, and May 23, 2020, a total of 195 patients were operated on. Of these, 96 (49.2%) were operated due to emergencies, and 99 (50.8%) were non-deferrable elective surgeries. At the time of admission, 13 patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 through RT-PCR and thorax tomography findings. A higher proportion of the patients with COVID-19 (n=12, 92.3%) were found to be operated for emergencies. Three patients with COVID-19 died on the 1st postoperative day. Mortality was significantly higher in this group than in those who tested negative (n=3, 23.1% vs. n=8, 4.4%). During the study, none of the healthcare workers in our clinic developed COVID-19 symptoms. Three patients who had elective surgery were found to be SARS-CoV-2 (+) in the follow-up period after discharge. CONCLUSION:Maintaining functional surgery departments under challenging times, such as a pandemic, will continue to be an important aspect of health systems. We believe that the results of this study will help reduce in-hospital transmission, help prevent disease transmission to healthcare personnel, and allow the members of the surgical teams to know in which patient group they will be at higher risk of infection during the operation.
