Abstract

Purpose: This study was designed to determine the transformations that occur during the Covid-19 pandemic trauma process experienced by individuals. In this context, it is aimed to determine the awareness level of the Turkish community about Covid-19, to obtain information about the ways individuals deal with the process, and to reveal the psychological, social and economic effects of the pandemic process on individuals. Matherials and Methods: Within this study, the “Coronavirus Effect Scale” was developed and the scale, which was developed during the pandemic period, was applied to 2115 participants, who were selected to equally represent each region in Turkey. Results: It was revealed that, during this coronavirus pandemic process that was discussed as a trauma, the participants had a high level of awareness about coronavirus, experienced difficulties in economic and psychological terms, attempted to cope with the process through positive thoughts and spiritual means, and improved their philosophies of life with an awareness on themselves. Conclusion: Within the framework of the research, "Coronavirus Effect Scale" was developed. As a result of the application of the developed scale, it was observed that the pandemic process, which is being experienced, affects the individuals forming the Turkish society in psychological, social and economic dimensions. People experience changes and transformations with the traumatic process.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde bulunan bireylerin yaşadıkları travma süreciyle gerçekleşen dönüşümleri tespit etmek amacıyla kurgulanmıştır. Bu bağlamda araştırmada Türk toplumunun Covid-19’a ilişkin farkındalık seviyesinin belirlenmesi, bireylerin süreçle başa çıkma yollarına ilişkin bilgiler elde edilmesi ve pandemi sürecinin bireylerdeki psikolojik ve sosyal etkilerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma kapsamında “Koronavirüs Etkisi Ölçeği” geliştirilmiş ve pandemi süreci devam ederken geliştirilen ölçeğin çevrimiçi ortamda Türkiye’de bulunun her bölgeyi temsil eder nitelikte 2115 katılımcıya uygulaması yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Bir travma olarak ele alınan koronavirüs pandemisi süreci ile birlikte katılımcıların koronavirüse ilişkin farkındalık düzeylerinin yüksek seviyede bulunduğu, ekonomik ve psikolojik anlamda zorluklar yaşadıkları, pozitif düşünceler ve manevi yollarla süreçle başa çıkma yoluna gittikleri ve kendilerine ilişkin farkındalıklarıyla birlikte, yaşam felsefelerinde gelişim yaşadıkları ortaya konulmuştur. Sonuç: Araştırma çerçevesinde "Coronavirus Etki Ölçeği" geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen ölçeğin uygulanması sonucunda yaşanmakta olan pandemi sürecinin Türk toplumunu oluşturan bireyleri psikolojik, sosyal ve ekonomik boyutlarda etkilediği görülmüştür. Bireylerin travmatik süreçle birlikte değişim ve dönüşümler yaşadığı anlaşılmıştır.
