Abstract

Amaç: COVID-19 salgınının ergenlik dönemindeki bireylerin gelecek beklentilerine ve anksiyete düzeyilerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma örneklemi, toplam 253 katılımcıdan oluşmaktadır. Çevrimiçi kesitsel bir öz bildirim anketi şeklinde, Nisan 2020-Ağustos 2020 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Beck Anksiyete Envanteri ve Ergen Gelecek Beklenti Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların %8.7’si kendisinin ve %30.4’ü ailesinden birinin koronavirüs hastalığına yakalandığını ayrıca %63.6’sı karantina sürecinde ruhsal desteğe ihtiyaç duyduğunu belirtmiştir. Araştırmaya dahil edilen ergenlerin Ergen Gelecek Beklentileri Ölçeği ve Beck Anksiyete Envanteri toplam puan ortalamalarının orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların Ergen Gelecek Beklentileri Ölçeği ve Beck Anksiyete Envanteri puan ortalaması arasında orta düzeyde, negatif yönde, anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda, COVID-19’a bağlı olarak oluşan karantina sürecinin ergenlerin anksiyete düzeylerini ve geleceğe dair beklentilerini olumsuz etkilediği belirlenmiştir.
