Detailed Description

Type of Research This research was planned as a mixed methods research. Mixed methods research is a type of research that allows us to obtain in-depth information from the data collected by quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. It also defines it as a research approach in which quantitative and qualitative data are collected in order to understand research problems and two data sets are integrated with each other. In this approach, a better understanding of the problem is provided by combining statistical trends with stories and personal experiences (Yıldırım & Şimşek, 2011).

Research Pattern The design of this research was determined as an explanatory sequential mixed design, one of the mixed methods research designs. Creswell (2009) states that deciding on a mixed method design depends on four factors: timing (simultaneous-sequential), weight (qualitative-quantitative), when and how it is mixed (connected-integrative-embedded), and theorizing. In this study, the explanatory sequential mixed design, which is dependent on the timing factor, was adopted from the designs determined by Creswell and Plano Clark (2011). The purpose of adopting this design in the research is to explain the quantitative data to be collected in more depth with qualitative data. According to the exploratory sequential mixed design, in the research, first of all, the "Effect of Events Scale" will be applied to determine the psychological effects of the pandemic process on the healthcare personnel working in the filiation team, and then "Semi-Structured Interviews" will be conducted with questions to be prepared with the data obtained from the scale in order to investigate the reasons for the results from this scale. The exploratory sequential mixed pattern is shown as NIC nit. This pattern is expressed as a useful pattern when qualitative data are needed to explain quantitative results (Creswell & Guetterman, 2018).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Impact of Events Scale	The scale developed by Weiss and Marmara (1997) was translated into Turkish by Çorapçıoğlu et al. (2006) Adapted by. The scale measures the subjective stress levels of individuals exposed to traumatic life events. The scale consists of 22 items, and each item is evaluated in a 5-point Likert type as (0) not at all, (1) a little, (2) moderate, (3) a lot, (4) a lot. A score between 0 and 88 is obtained from the scale, and a high score indicates that the person has a high level of post-traumatic stress disorder. The scale consists of three subscales: hyperarousal, avoidance, and re-experiencing. Reliving (questions 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 14, 16, 20), Avoidance (questions 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 17, 22), and Overstimulation (4, 10, 15) , 18, 19, 21) are determined by these items.	1.Day
