Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted in order to determine the relationship between the fear of COVID-19, death anxiety and psychological resilience of nursing school students during the COVID-19 pandemic process. Methods: The data of the cross-sectional study, which was conducted with 322 nursing students, were collected on the online platform via the mobile internet using the Personal Information Form, The Fear of Covid-19 Scale, the Death Anxiety Scale and the Brief Psychological Resilience Scale. Results: A moderate positive correlation was detected between the total scores of the Death Anxiety Scale and The Fear of Covid-19 Scale, and a weak negative correlation was detected between the total scores of the Psychological Resilience Scale and The Fear of Covid-19 Scale (p<0.001). Accordingly, death anxiety affected the fear of Covid-19 by 38.8%. Resilience affected the participants’ fear of Covid-19 by 10.1%. Conclusion: In conclusion, strengthening the resilience of individuals through counseling, therapies, group counseling, and psycho-social intervention could be recommended.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma, Covid-19 pandemi sürecinde hemşirelik bölümü öğrencilerinde Covid-19 korkusu, ölüm kaygısı ve psikolojik sağlamlık durumları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: 322 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile kesitsel türde yapılan araştırmanın verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği, Ölüm Kaygısı Ölçeği ve Kısa Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği kullanılarak mobil internet aracılığıyla çevrimiçi platformda toplandı. Bulgular: Ölüm Kaygısı Ölçeği ile Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği toplam puanları arasında orta düzeyde pozitif korelasyon, Kısa Dayanıklılık Ölçeği ile Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği toplam puanları arasında ise zayıf ve negatif korelasyon saptandı (p<0.001). Buna göre ölüm kaygısı, Covid-19 korkusunu %38.8 oranında etkiledi. Psikolojik sağlamlığın, öğrencilerde Covid-19 korkusunu %10.1 oranında etkilediği belirlendi. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak bireylerin psikolojik sağlamlıklarının psikolojik danışma, terapiler, grupla psikolojik danışma ve psiko-sosyal müdahale yoluyla güçlendirilmesi önerilebilir.
