Abstract

It is evident that COVID-19 induced stress and anxiety have an impact on university students. Students have experienced anxieties over their health, pandemic induced psychological problems and ambiguities concerning their training during this long-standing process. This case has a negative effect on university students’ subjective well-being levels. Subjective well-being is a variable related to personal health behaviors besides several psychological variables. The purpose of the current research was to investigate how changes observed in students’ personal health behaviors explained their subjective well-being levels. Results of the research conducted on university students from different levels of education showed that the change in sleeping habits during COVID-19 pandemic explained subjective well-being at a significant level (β=-.14, SE=1.75, t=-3.33, p=.001). Change in eating habits also explained subjective well-being significantly (β=-1.15, SE=1.55, t=-3.33, p=.001). Subjective well-being scores of the students whose sleeping and eating habits deteriorated were low. Negative changes in students’ sleeping and eating habits were identified during pandemic compared to the period before pandemic. It was observed that time for using computers/smart phones increased prominently. The results indicated that significant changes observed in personal health behaviors during pandemic had an impact on subjective well-being. The results corresponded to related literature considerably.

Özet

COVID-19’un yol açtığı stres ve kaygının etkileri, üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde açıkça görülmektedir. Öğrenciler gittikçe uzayan bu süreçte, sağlıklarıyla ilgili endişelerle, salgına bağlı psikolojik sorunlarla ve eğitimleri ilgili belirsizliklerle karşı karşıya kalmışlardır. Böyle bir durum, üniversite öğrencilerinin öznel iyi oluş (ÖİO) düzeylerini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. ÖİO, farklı psikolojik değişkenlerin yanında kişisel sağlık davranışlarıyla (KSD) da ilişkili olan bir değişkendir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, salgın döneminde öğrencilerin kişisel sağlık davranışlarında gözlenen değişimlerin öznel iyi oluş düzeylerini nasıl açıkladığını incelemektir. Farklı öğrenim düzeylerindeki üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde yapılan araştırmanın sonuçları, COVID-19 döneminde uyku düzeninde gözlenen değişimin öznel iyi oluşu anlamlı düzeyde açıkladığını göstermektedir (β=-.14, SH=1.75, t=-3.33, p=.001). Bunun yanında beslenme düzenindeki değişim de öznel iyi oluşu anlamlı düzeyde açıklamaktadır (β=-1.15, SH=1.55, t=-3.33, p=.001). Uyku ve beslenme düzenlerinde bozulma gözlenen öğrencilerin ÖİO puanları düşüktür. Salgın öncesine oranla salgın sürecinde öğrencilerin uyku düzenlerinde ve beslenme biçimlerinde olumsuz yönde değişiklikler tespit edilmiş, bilgisayar/akıllı cep telefonu kullanım sürelerinin belirgin şekilde arttığı gözlenmiştir. Ortaya çıkan sonuçlar, salgın döneminde KSD’de gözlenen önemli değişimlerin ÖİO üzerinde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Sonuçlar literatür bulgularıyla önemli ölçüde örtüşmektedir.
