The findings show that the increase in the fear of coronavirus decreases the levels of psychological resilience and life satisfaction, whereas the increase in psychological resilience increases the level of life satisfaction.

Özet

COVID-19 salgını, özellikle bu süreçte aktif bir rol oynayan ve en büyük risk altında olan sağlık çalışanları için psikolojik travmalar gibi yıkıcı sonuçlara neden olmaktadır. Sağlık sisteminin çökmesini önlemek için sağlık çalışanlarının sağlıklarını korumak önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, psikolojik sağlamlığın yaşam doyumu üzerindeki etkisinde koronavirüs korkusunun aracı rolünü ortaya çıkarmaktır. Türkiye'nin 36 ilinde 414 sağlık çalışanına koronavirüs korkusu, psikolojik sağlamlık ve yaşam doyumu ölçekleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, koronavirüs korkusundaki artışın psikolojik sağlamlık ve yaşam doyumu düzeylerini azalttığını, psikolojik sağlamlık düzeyindeki artışın ise yaşam doyumu düzeyini artırdığını göstermektedir. Sonuçlar, koronavirüs korkusunun sağlık profesyonelleri arasında psikolojik dayanıklılık ve yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamaya katkıda bulunabileceğini göstermektedir.
