Abstract

Aralık 2021'in başlarında, COVID-19 ile ilgili vakalar 263 milyonu ve ölümler de 5,2 milyonu aşmıştır. COVID-19 ile görülmüştür ki, pandemi döneminde bile virüsle mücadelede sağlık sistemi ve sağlık personeli vazgeçilmezdir. Sağlık personeli özellikle hemşireler dünyada eşit olarak dağılmamaktadır. Güçlü ve dayanıklı bir sağlık sistemi için, COVID-19'un çok hızlı yayılmasıyla hemşirelere duyulan ihtiyaç ortaya çıkmıştır. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü'ne göre 27,9 milyon olan küresel iş gücünün 19,3 milyonu ve sağlık personelinin de %59'u profesyonel hemşireler oluşturmaktadır. OECD ülkelerinde 13.4 milyon hemşire mevcut olup, 100.000 nüfusa 987 hemşire düşmektedir. Tedavi ve aşı için sağlık harcamaları yapılırken başta hemşireler olmak üzere sağlık personelinin yetiştirilmesi de ihmal edilmemelidir. Pandemiye karşı artan sağlık harcamaları daha çok korunma, aşı ve tıbbi tedaviye gitmekte ve hemşirelik hizmetlerinde istihdamın artırılmasında bir kesintiye (dışlanmaya) neden olabilmektedir.

Abstract

In the early of December 2021, the COVID-19 related cases has exceeded 263 million and deaths 5.2 million. With COVID-19, it has been seen that the health system and health personnel are indispensable in the fight against the virus, even during the pandemic period. For a strong a resilient healthcare system need for nurses has emerged as the COVID-19 spreads very fast. According to WHO 19.3 million of the global nursing workforce which is 27.9 million, and 59% of the health professions are professional nurses. In OECD countries, there are 13.4 million nurses, and 987 nurses per 100,000 population. While health expenditures are made for treatment and vaccination, it should not be neglected to train health personnel, especially nurses. Increasing health expenditures against pandemic may mostly go to for preventing, vaccines and medical treatment and cause a crowding-out in increasing the employment in nursing service.
