Abstract
Bu çalışma, COVID-19 hastalarına bakım veren hemşirelerin duygu, düşünce ve deneyimlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Bu tanımlayıcı çalışmada niteliksel araştırma tasarımı kullanıldı. Araştırmanın örneklemini, bir üniversite hastanesinin COVID-19 kliniklerinde çalışan 16 hemşire oluşturdu. Veriler, “Yarı Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu” kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplandı ve içerik analizi yöntemi ile analiz edildi. COVID-19 hastalarına bakım veren hemşirelerin deneyimleri, “COVID-19 kliniğinde hemşire olmak” ve “sosyal yaşamda hemşire olmak” olmak üzere iki tema altında incelendi. ‘COVID-19 kliniğinde hemşire olmak’ teması; korku, belirsizlikler, hemşirelere düşen tüm sorumluluklar, iş yükünün artması, kişisel koruyucu ekipman kullanımı, savaş alanında askerler ve memnuniyet olarak alt temalara ayrıldı. ‘Sosyal hayatta hemşire olmak’ teması; damgalanma, birine bulaştırma korkusu, korku, ayrılık-yalnızlık ve profesyonel görünüş olarak alt temalara ayrıldı. COVID-19 hastalarına bakım veren hemşireler, pandemi sürecinde deneyimledikleri zorluklar nedeniyle hem mesleki sorumluklarını sürdürme sırasında hem de sosyal yaşamlarında biyofizyolojik, psikolojik ve sosyal yönden olumsuz etkilenmiştir.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the emotions, thoughts and experiences of nurses caring for COVID-19 patients. A qualitative research design was used in this descriptive type study. The sample of this study consisted of 16 nurses working in the COVID-19 clinics of a university hospital. Data were collected with face-to-face interview method by using “Semi-Structured Interview Form” and were analyzed with content analysis method. The experiences of nurses caring for COVID-19 patients were analyzed under two themes: “being a nurse in the COVID-19 clinic” and “being a nurse in social life”. The theme of the ‘being a nurse in the COVID-19 clinic’ was divided into subthemes; fear, uncertainties, all responsibilities on the nurses, increase in workload, use of personal protective equipment, soldiers on the battlefield and satisfaction. The theme of ‘being a nurse in social life’ was divided into subthemes; stigma, fear to infect someone, fear, separation-loneliness and professional appearance. Nurses caring for COVID-19 patients have been adversely affected in bio-physiological, psychological and social aspects both during their professional responsibilities and in their social lives due to the difficulties they experienced during the pandemic process.
