    (Başkent Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi, 2024-04-27) Oksuz, Emine; Mersin, Sevinc; Ucgun, Tugce; Sarikoc, Gamze
    The main purpose of this study was to determine the experiences of nurses who care for hospitalized patients experiencing an acute manic episode. This qualitative study was carried out with 15 nurses working in a psychiatric ward in T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected through semi -structured in-depth individual interviews and focusgroup interviews in which the face-to-face interview technique was used. Two main themes emerged from the analysis of the qualitative data: (1) the difficulties experienced and (2) the most effective elements of care. Under the first main theme, the following sub -themes emerged: difficulties in setting boundaries, safety concerns, difficulties in managing the patient's demands, inability to choose the appropriate word(s), and the "emotional whirlwind" experienced. The second main theme, on the other hand, included the following sub -themes: meeting basic needs, ensuring treatment compliance, encouragement to engage in physical activity, and having a sufficient number of qualified personnel. The study revealed that the nurses had difficulties in caring for their manic patients. On the basis of these results, it is recommended that nurses be given counseling and training on setting boundaries, ensuring safety, managing the patient's demands, coping with their own emotions, and communicating better. In addition, the study identified the importance of nursing interventions to meet patients' basic needs, encourage them to engage in physical activity, and ensure treatment compliance, and the importance of there being an adequate number of qualified personnel. These results may help students and other nurses in terms of assessing and setting priorities in cases needing acute psychiatric care.

    BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all health professionals worldwide. This has also influenced their working lives, affecting burnout and work engagement. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the relationship between burnout and work engagement among nurses and physiotherapists during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted with total 509 nurses and physiotherapists who were working at any of the private, public, or university hospitals from two large and one small cities. A Personal Introduction Form, the Maslach Burnout Scale, and the Work Engagement Scale were used in the study. Frequency, percentage, mean, and Pearson correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Necessary ethical approvals were taken for the research. RESULTS: There was a significant, moderate, negative relationship between the average scores of the nurses on the vigor and devotion dimensions and the Work Engagement Scale and their average scores on emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, depersonalization dimensions and their average score on the Maslach Burnout Scale (p < 0.05). There was a significant, moderate, negative relationship between the scores of the physiotherapists on the Work Engagement Scale and its dimensions and their average scores on the Maslach Burnout Scale and its dimensions (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In our study, it was found that the burnout levels of nurses and physiotherapists had an effect on their work engagement during the COVID-19 pandemic. During and after the COVID-19 process, managers should take measures to reduce the burnout levels of health professionals and increase their level of work engagement.
