The aim of the research is to investigate the relationship between the adherence to a Mediterranean type of diet, which is an anti-inflammatory diet, and the degree of severity and symptoms of the disease in patients with COVID-19 infection. In the study, a short questionnaire form containing questions about demographic information, disease severity, and what symptoms they experienced was given to individuals who had previously had COVID-19 infection. The adaptation of individuals to the Mediterranean diet (MD) was evaluated with the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS). SPSS software program was used to analyze the effect of the MD on COVID-19 severity and symptoms. A total of 715 people, including 283 (39.6%) men and 432 (60.4%) women, were included in the study. It was determined that 33.7% (241/715) of the individuals had MD compliance, while 66.3% (474/715) did not have MD compliance. It was observed that 77.8% (556/715) of the individuals participating in the study had a mild recovery from the COVID-19 infection process. It was observed that thin and obese individuals had more difficulty recovering (p<0.05). The top 5 most common symptoms in COVID-19 patients were found to be as follows: fatigue-weakness (87%), low back-joint pain (76.4%), headache (70.5%), olfactory disorder (66%), and taste disorder (61%), respectively. No significant difference was found between adherence to a Mediterranean-type diet and COVID-19 severity and symptoms (p>0.05). In conclusion, no significant relationship was found between adherence to the MD and the severity of the COVID-19 infection. However, considering the effects of the Mediterranean-type diet, which is an anti-inflammatory diet, on obesity, it is thought that adherence to this diet will have a positive effect on decreasing the severity of COVID-19 transmission indirectly, if not directly.

COVID-19 pandemi döneminde hem hasta beklentileri hem de hastane içi alınması gereken tedbirler değişmiştir. Hastane içerisinde bulaş riskini en aza indirecek maske, mesafe ve hijyen gibi unsurlar önem kazanmıştır. Bu bağlamda da sağlık hizmeti sunan kurumların hasta beklentilerini karşılayarak kaliteli hizmet sunma parametrelerini iyileştirmeleri gerekmektedir. Özellikle pandemi döneminde, cerrahi tedavi alan hastalar için ameliyat öncesi, anı ve sonrası hareketlilik nedeniyle bulaş ve ölüm korkusunun artabileceği ve hizmet kalite algısının etkilenebileceği düşünülmüştür. Bu çalışmada COVID-19 pandemi döneminde hastanelerde sağlık hizmeti alan cerrahi hastaların algıladıkları hizmet kalitesine ilişkin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu araştırmada, nitel araştırma desenlerinden durum çalışması kullanılmıştır. Araştırma evrenini, Yozgat Bozok Üniversitesi Araştırma ve Uygulama Hastanesi cerrahi servislerinde yatan hastalar oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma örneklemi 15.11.2021-15.12.2021 tarihleri arasında cerrahi birimlerde yatan; operasyon geçirmiş, araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan ve iletişim problemi olmayan 30 hastadan oluşmaktadır. Veriler tanıtıcı bilgi formu ile araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulmuş yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. COVID-19 pandemisi döneminde cerrahi servislerde yatan hastaların sağlık hizmet kalitesine ilişkin görüşlerinin olumlu olduğu, cerrahi servislerde yatan birimlerde koronavirus salgını merkezli tedbirlerin üst düzeyde alındığı, afiş ve bilgilendirme çalışmalarının ise iyileştirilebileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
