Özet

This study was conducted to determine the effects of professional vitality levels on learned helplessness of healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic process. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with 200 healthcare workers using the Personal Information Form, Professional Vitality Scale and Learned Despair Scale. SPSS 21 and AMOS 22 programs were used in the analysis of the data. In the evaluation of the data; percentage, average, Pearson correlation analysis, simple and multiple regression analysis methods were preferred. The significance level of the data was considered to be significant at the level of p <0.05. It was determined that the professional vitality levels of healthcare workers were at a high level (3.82±0.48) and that their learned perception of helplessness was at a low level (2.19±0.47). It was found that professional vitality levels of healthcare workers have a significant and negative effect on learned helplessness. Among the sub-dimensions of Professional Vitality Scale, mastery and job satisfaction sub-dimensions affect learned helplessness significantly and negatively; passion and vigor subscales were found to have no significant effect on learned helplessness. In the process of the Covid-19 pandemic, professional vitality levels of healthcare workers have an impact on learned helplessness.
