Experiencing coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) disease is a difficult and exhaustive process. Intensive care unit (ICU) nurses return to the ICU after recovering from COVID-19.
This study was planned to determine the care difficulties and ethical problems faced by ICU nurses returning to work after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
In-depth interview technique was used in this qualitative study. This study was conducted between January 28 and March 3 2021 with 20 nurses diagnosed with COVID-19, working in an ICU. Data were collected using face-to-face interviews with semi-structured questions.
Average age of the participating nurses was 27 ± 5.8; 14 of them were not planning to leave the profession; 13 felt confused about the pandemic process and all experienced some ethical problems related to the care process.
Long work hours during the pandemic negatively affect ICU nurses' psychology. After experiencing the disease, the ethical sensitivity of the nurses in this group providing care to patients increased. Determining the difficulties and ethical problems experienced by ICU nurses after recovering from COVID-19 can be a guide in increasing ethical sensitivity.

经历2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一个艰难且使人疲惫不堪的过程。重症监护病房(ICU)护士在从COVID-19康复后返回ICU工作。
本研究旨在确定被诊断患有COVID-19后返回工作岗位的ICU护士所面临的护理困难和伦理问题。
本定性研究采用深入访谈技术。本研究于2021年1月28日至3月3日对20名在ICU工作且被诊断患有COVID-19的护士进行。通过面对面访谈半结构化问题收集数据。
参与研究的护士平均年龄为27±5.8岁;其中14人不打算离开该职业;13人对疫情过程感到困惑,且所有人在护理过程中都经历了一些伦理问题。
疫情期间长时间工作对ICU护士的心理产生负面影响。经历该疾病后,这组为患者提供护理的护士的伦理敏感度有所提高。确定ICU护士从COVID-19康复后所经历的困难和伦理问题可为提高伦理敏感度提供指导。
