Abstract

Amaç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinde COVID-19 korkusu ile fobisi arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel niteliktedir. 2020-2021 akademik yılında iki farklı üniversitede öğrenim gören 396 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Koronavirüs Korku Ölçeği ve Koronavirüs-19 Fobi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler internet üzerinden toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21.06±1.94 idi. Bu çalışmada hemşirelik öğrencilerinin Koronavirüs Korku Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasının 16,47±6,26 (min:7 max:35) ve Koronavirüs 19 Fobi Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasının 44,92±16,90 (min:20 max:100) olduğu belirlendi. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin Koronavirüs Korku Ölçeği toplam puanları ile Koronavirüs-19 Fobi Ölçeği toplam puanları arasında pozitif yönde yüksek düzeyde anlamlı bir korelasyon olduğu belirlendi (r:0,773 p:0,0001).
Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin COVID-19 Korku ve COVID-19 Fobi puan ortalamalarının orta düzeyde olduğu ve hemşirelik öğrencilerinin koronavirüs korkusu ile koronavirüs fobisi arasında ilişki olduğu belirlendi. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin psikolojik ihtiyaçlarının belirlenmesi, bu ihtiyaçlara yönelik danışmanlık verilmesi, başa çıkma becerilerinin arttırılması için desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.
