Abstract

Objectives: The occupational preferences and occupational balance of individuals have changed during the Covid-19 Pandemic period. This study aims to evaluate occupational balance, fear of Covid-19 and agoraphobia in adults during the Covid-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: Six hundred ninety-nine individuals were included in this study. Occupational Balance Questionnaire, Fear of Covid-19 Scale and DSM-5 Agoraphobia Scale were used in the study. Results: A statistically significant moderate correlation was found between the Covid-19 Fear Scale and the DSM-5 Agoraphobia Scale (p<0.001, r=.497). There was no statistically significant relationship between the Covid-19 Fear Scale and OBQ (p<0.05). Individuals with regular physical and leisure activity habits had better occupational balance and less fear of Covid-19. Conclusion: In the Covid-19 pandemic, the activity preferences of individuals have changed and individuals generally prefer sedentary activities. Increasing fear of Covid-19 increases the level of agoraphobia. Considering the positive effects of regular activities, it is thought that by supporting individuals with meaningful and purposeful activities in the Covid-19 pandemic, occupational balance can be improved and the fear of Covid-19 can be reduced.

Özet

Amaç: Covid-19 pandemisi sonucunda bireylerin okupasyonel tercihleri ve okupasyonel dengeleri değişime uğramıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Covid-19 Pandemisi sırasında yetişkinlerde okupasyonel denge, Covid-19 korkusu ve agorafobiyi değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya altı yüz doksan dokuz kişi dahil edildi. Çalışmada Okupasyonel Denge Anketi (OBQ), Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ve DSM-5 Agorafobi Ölçeği kullanıldı. Bulgular: Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ile DSM-5 Agorafobi Ölçeği arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı orta düzeyde bir ilişki bulundu (p<0,001, r=,497). Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ve OBQ arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı (p<0,05). Düzenli fiziksel ve serbest zaman aktivite alışkanlıklarına sahip bireyler daha iyi okupasyonel dengeye ve daha az Covid-19 korkusuna sahipti. Sonuç: Covid-19 pandemisinde bireylerin aktivite tercihleri değişmiştir ve bireyler genellikle sedanter aktiviteleri tercih etmektedir. Covid-19 korkusunun artması, agorafobi düzeyini arttırmaktadır. Düzenli yapılan aktivitenin olumlu etkileri göz önüne alındığında; Covid-19 pandemisinde bireylerin anlamlı ve amaçlı aktivitelerle desteklenmesi ile okupasyonel dengenin geliştirilebileceği ve Covid-19 korkusunun azaltılabileceği düşünülmektedir.
