Abstract
With the spread of the pandemic all over the world, social isolation is applied as a precaution and people spend most of their time at home with their families. Therefore, the responsibilities of the family health nurse are increasing. During this period, family health nurses provide services in pregnancy follow-up, newborn care and follow-up, care of individuals with chronic diseases, family education, vaccination, and quarantine measures. It has been observed that there has been a significant increase in workloads since vaccinations are carried out in family health centers and people prefer family health centers instead of crowded hospital environments. This article aims to discuss the role and importance of family health nurses providing primary health care in many aspects of health protection and development in Turkey and the world during the pandemic period.
