Abstract
Pandemics are significant health problems that have a great impact on the health care system and causes serious deaths. Nurses are the largest group among healthcare professionals, and they perform difficult role in the control of the disease such as direct patient care and recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic process. This exponentially growing epidemic process can only be managed by increasing the well-being of nurses and the risk of spreading the virus in the health sector can be kept to a minimum. Nurses play a crucial role in the coordination of health, care and support services and they are at the forefront in the fight against outbreaks. That’s why they should be well supported by providing health safety by hospitals. In this case report, the experiences of a nurse giving the nursing care to COVID-19 positive patients are explained.

Abstract
Pandemiler, sağlık sistemi üzerinde büyük etkisi olan ve ciddi ölümlere neden olan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Sağlık çalışanları içerisinde en büyük grubu oluşturan ve COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde zor görevler üstlenen hemşireler, doğrudan hasta bakımı ve iyileşmesinde ve salgının kontrolünde etkin rol oynayan hayati insan kaynaklarıdır. Katlanarak büyüyen salgın süreci ancak hemşirelerin refahını artırılarak yönetilebilir ve virüsün sağlık sektörü içinde yayılma riski bu şekilde minimumda tutulabilir. Hemşireler sağlık, bakım ve destek hizmetlerinin koordinasyonunda kritik bir rol oynamaktadır ve salgınlara karşı mücadelede ön plandadırlar. Bu nedenle hemşireler hastane tarafından sağlık güvenliği sağlanarak iyi desteklenmelidir. Bu olgu sunumunda salgın sürecinde COVID-19 pozitif hastalara bakım veren bir hemşirenin karşılaştığı sorunlar ile ilgili duygu ve düşünceleri açıklanmaktadır.
