Abstract
Infectious diseases are one of the serious disease groups that have been continuing from the past to the present, negatively affecting the life of the society and the individual, and at the same time posing a life risk with complications that may develop. Factors such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that cause infectious diseases can be transmitted from a sick individual to a healthy individual in a short time, have a mild or severe course, result in death, recovery, or develop life -long immunity. Health personnel, especially nurses, are faced with traumas, physical, chemical, and biological factors during their work, and in many countries, unsuitable working conditions cause work-related infections (HIV, hepatitis B virus, etc.) and occupational injuries. Unlike other workers, healthcare workers are at high risk for infectious disease agents such as needle sticking, blood-borne transmission, respiratory, droplet, and contact-borne agents, and their risk of catching diseases increases. As a result, nurse care applied during the follow-up and treatment of infectious diseases, although it is intertwined with infection control methods, has a very important place in the treatment of complications due to infections.
