Abstract

Kovid-19 pandemisi, bireylerin fiziksel sağlığını etkilemenin yanı sıra, ruh sağlığı üzerinde de derin etkiler bırakmıştır. Pandemi süresince çeşitli zorluklar ortaya çıkmış ve önlemler alınmaya çalışılmıştır, ancak pandemi sonrasındaki Kovid-19 korkusu ve buna bağlı ruh sağlığı sorunları üzerine yapılan araştırmalar sınırlı kalmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, pandemi sonrasındaki Kovid-19 korkusu, belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlük ve kontrolü kaybetmeye ilişkin inançlar arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 183’ü (%68.30) kadın, 85’i (%31.70) erkek ve yaş ortalaması 21.70 (Ss = 2.31) olan 268 katılımcı oluşturmuştur. Korelasyon analizi sonuçları Kovid-19 korkusu ile belirsizliğe tahammülsüzlüğün alt boyutları olan ileriye yönelik kaygı ve engelleyici kaygı ile kontrolü kaybetmeye ilişkin inançların alt boyutlarından düşünceler/davranışlar/duygular ve beden/bedensel fonksiyonlar arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkilerin olduğunu göstermiştir. Ancak, Kovid-19 korkusu ile kontrol etmenin önemi alt boyutu arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ağ analizi sonuçlarına göre düşünceler/davranışlar/duygular alt boyutu en önemli aradalık (1.630), yakınlık (1.453) ve güç (1.156) puanlarına sahiptir. Elde edilen bulgular tartışılmış ve çeşitli öneriler getirilmiştir.

Peur du COVID-19 après la pandémie, intolérance à l'incertitude et croyances liées à la perte de contrôle : Une analyse de réseau

Abstract

La pandémie de COVID-19 a eu un impact profond sur la santé mentale ainsi que sur la santé physique des individus. Pendant la pandémie, divers défis ont émergé et des interventions ont été mises en place, mais les recherches sur la peur du COVID-19 et les problèmes de santé mentale associés après la pandémie restent limitées. La présente étude vise à explorer les relations entre la peur du COVID-19, l’intolérance à l’incertitude et les croyances concernant la perte de contrôle dans la période post-pandémique. L'échantillon de l'étude comprenait 268 participants, dont 183 (68,30 %) femmes et 85 (31,70 %) hommes, avec un âge moyen de 21,70 ans (SD = 2,31). Les résultats de l’analyse de corrélation ont montré des relations positives significatives entre la peur du COVID-19 et l'anxiété prospective et l'anxiété inhibitrice, qui sont les dimensions de l'intolérance à l'incertitude, ainsi que les pensées/comportements/émotions et le corps/fonctions corporelles, qui sont les dimensions des croyances concernant la perte de contrôle. Cependant, il n'y avait pas de relation significative entre la peur du COVID-19 et l'importance de la dimension de contrôle. Selon les résultats de l'analyse de réseau, la dimension des pensées/comportements/émotions présente les scores de centralité d'intermédiarité (1,630), de proximité (1,453) et de force (1,156) les plus élevés. Les résultats ont été discutés et quelques recommandations ont été fournies.

Angst vor COVID-19 nach der Pandemie, Intoleranz gegenüber Unsicherheit und Überzeugungen über den Kontrollverlust: Eine Netzwerkanalyse

Abstract

Die COVID-19-Pandemie hatte tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf die psychische und physische Gesundheit der Menschen. Während der Pandemie traten verschiedene Herausforderungen auf, und es wurden Maßnahmen ergriffen, jedoch gibt es bisher nur begrenzte Forschung zur Angst vor COVID-19 und damit verbundenen psychischen Problemen nach der Pandemie. Die vorliegende Studie zielt darauf ab, die Beziehungen zwischen der Angst vor COVID-19, der Intoleranz gegenüber Unsicherheit und den Überzeugungen über den Kontrollverlust im Nach-Pandemie-Zeitraum zu untersuchen. Die Stichprobe der Studie bestand aus 268 Teilnehmern, von denen 183 (68,30 %) Frauen und 85 (31,70 %) Männer mit einem Durchschnittsalter von 21,70 Jahren (SD = 2,31) waren. Die Ergebnisse der Korrelationsanalyse zeigten positive signifikante Beziehungen zwischen der Angst vor COVID-19 und der prospektiven und inhibitorischen Angst, die Dimensionen der Intoleranz gegenüber Unsicherheit, sowie den Gedanken/Verhaltensweisen/Emotionen und Körper/körperlichen Funktionen, den Dimensionen der Überzeugungen über den Kontrollverlust. Es wurde jedoch keine signifikante Beziehung zwischen der Angst vor COVID-19 und der Bedeutung der Kontrolldimension festgestellt. Laut den Ergebnissen der Netzwerkanalyse weist die Dimension Gedanken/Verhaltensweisen/Emotionen die höchsten Betweenness- (1,630), Closeness- (1,453) und Stärke-Werte (1,156) auf. Die Ergebnisse wurden diskutiert und einige Empfehlungen wurden gegeben.

Fear of COVID-19, Intolerance of Uncertainty and Beliefs About Losing Control in the Post-Pandemic: A Network Analysis

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on mental health, as well as on the physical health of individuals. During the pandemic, various challenges emerged, and interventions were put in place, but research on fear of COVID-19and related mental health problems after the pandemic remains limited. The present study aims to explore the relationships between fear of COVID-19, intolerance of uncertainty, and beliefs about losing control in the post-pandemic. The study group of the research consisted of 268 participants, 183 (68.30%) of whom were women and 85 (31.70%) of whom were men and whose average age was 21.70 (SD = 2.31). Correlation analysis results showed that there were positive significant relationships between fear of COVID-19 and prospective anxiety and inhibitory anxiety, which are the dimensions of intolerance of uncertainty, and thoughts/behaviors/emotions and body/bodily functions, which are the dimensions of beliefs about losing control. However, there was no significant relationship between the fear of COVID-19 and the importance of the control dimension. According to the network analysis results, the thoughts/behaviors/emotions dimension has the most significant betweenness (1.630), closeness (1.453), and strength (1.156) scores. The findings were discussed, and some recommendations were provided.
