Özet

As of December 2019, the coronavirus, which has affected the whole world since the first cases began to appear in Wuhan, China, has many effects, primarily on healthcare workers' psychological stress and burnout. Healthcare professionals working with the coronavirus worked hard in this process and were very tired. The rapid increase in the number of cases during the illness has caused severe problems in medical institutions, and various difficulties have been experienced, such as the need for medical equipment and medical personnel (Wang, Zhang, & He, 2020). With the increase in the monthly working hours of the nurses due to the infection, more nurses were needed in the field (Maben & Bridges, 2020). In addition to this additional stress, increased workload, and longer working hours; In the appointment of new novice nurses, psychological difficulties and increased stress were experienced since those who did not have sufficient work experience were forced to work in intensive care units (Hiçdurmaz & Üzar-Özçetin, 2020). A progressive and chronic stress state can be expressed as burnout. In the recent period, the inability to cope with stress and fatigue form the basis of burnout and in this sense, burnout is thought to be a result of chronic stress (Barutçu & Serinkan, 2008). This study aimed to review the current literature on the stress, depression, and burnout levels of nurses struggling with the covid-19 outbreak. In this way, it is aimed to be reminded to address the mental health and burnout of nurses, who have bothered with the pandemic process at the forefront but have to stay away from their families, and it is aimed to emphasize that this situation will create serious adverse effects on the quality of health care.
