Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, higher education unexpectedly turned-on an online distance learning. It is expected that this situation would have an influence on the subjective well-being of emerging adults’ university students. Based on this assumption, in this study, we investigated the coronavirus anxiety and subjective well-being of the native Turkish-speaking, emerging adults’ university students according to some of sociodemographic variables in order to detect a situation and make an intervention plan in the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The study was conducted with N = 220 (113 women and 97 men) the native Turkish-speaking emerging adults from different parts of Turkey and Northern Cyprus (The island of Cyprus is located in the Eastern Mediterranean, south of Turkey) universities. Data was collected via an online survey package of The Socio-demographical Information Form, The Subjective Well-Being Scale, and The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale. As the subjective well-being level of emerging adults who are participating in this study increases, coronavirus anxiety decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic process. This study offers suggestions for the intervention plans that can be made to increase the subjective well-being of emerging adults in higher education during the COVID-19 crisis and in the new normal. Thus, the practitioners who are working with emerging adults at higher educations are recommended to consider these study results (e.g., the importance of social support during the pandemic process, the duration of quarantine, psychiatric diagnoses) in their subjective well-being studies for this group.

Özet

COVID-19 salgın krizi beklenmedik bir şekilde yüksek öğretimin uzaktan çevrimiçi eğitime geçmesine neden olmuştur. Bu durumun beliren yetişkinlik dönemindeki üniversite öğrencilerin iyi oluşlarına etki edeceği beklenmektedir. Bu varsayımdan hareketle bu çalışmada, yazarlar COVID-19 salgın krizinde bir durum tespiti yapmak ve müdahale planı oluşturmak amacı ile beliren yetişkinlik dönemindeki ana dilinde Türkçe konuşan üniversite öğrencilerinin korona virüs kaygısı ve öznel iyi oluş bazı sosyo-demografik değişkenler açısından incelenmiştir. Çalışma Türkiye ve Kuzey Kıbrıs’taki (Kıbrıs Türkiye’nin güneyinde Doğu Akdenizde bir adadır) farklı üniversitelerde ana dilinde Türkçe konuşan beliren yetişkinlik dönemindeki N=220 (113 kadın ve 97 erkek) üniversite öğrencileri ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler Sosyo-demografik Bilgi Formu, Öznel İyi Oluş Ölçeği ve Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeğinin çevrim içi paket aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Bu çalışmaya katılan beliren yetişkinlerin COVID-19 salgın döneminde öznel iyi oluş düzeyi arttıkça korona virüs kaygısı azalmaktadır. Bu çalışma COVID-19 kriz sürecinde ve yeni normalde yüksek öğretimde beliren yetişkinlerin öznel iyi oluşlarını artırmak için yapılabilecek müdahale planlarına öneriler sunmaktadır. Böylece, yüksek öğretimde beliren yetişkinler ile çalışan uygulamacılar bu grup için yapılacak olan öznel iyi oluş çalışmalarında bu sonuçları (örneğin, salgın sürecinde sosyal desteğin önemi, karantina süreci, psikiyatrik tanılar) dikkate alması önerilir.
