Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between coronavirus anxiety and suicide probability of university students during the Covid-19 pandemic. 341 university students participated in the study. While analyzing the data, Unpaired t Test, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis and Hierarchical Regression Analysis were used. At the same time, the bootstrapping method was used to examine the role of mediating variable between the dependent variable and independent variable. According to the findings, it was found that self-efficacy plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between coronavirus anxiety and the suicide probability. In addition, it was also found that those who said they became lonely because of coronavirus had higher coronavirus anxiety scores than those who said they were not alone. Finally, it was determined that during the pandemic process, the coronavirus anxiety and suicide probability scores of those who were abused due to pandemic conditions were higher than those who were not. According to results obtained from the study, self-efficacy was found to partially mediate the relationship between coronavirus anxiety and the suicide probability. Accordingly, it was determined that the probability of suicide decreased with increased self-efficacy.

Koronavirüs Anksiyetesiyle İntihar Olasılığı Arasındaki İlişkide Öz Yeterliliğin Aracı Rolü

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı Covid-19 pandemisinde üniversite öğrencilerinin koronavirüs anksiyetesi ile intihar olasılığı arasındaki ilişkide öz yeterliliğin aracı rolünü incelemektir. Araştırmaya 341 üniversite öğrencisi katılım göstermiştir. Katılımcılardan veri toplamak için Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İntihar Olasılığı Ölçeği, Koronavirüs Anksiyetesi Ölçeği ve Genel Öz Yeterlilik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 26.0 paket programında analiz edilmiştir. Veriler incelenirken Bağımsız Örneklemler için t Testi, Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon Analizi ve Hiyerarşik Regresyon Analizi kullanılmıştır. Aynı zamanda aracı değişkenin bağımlı değişkenle bağımsız değişken arasındaki aracı rolünü incelemek amacıyla yenide örnekleme yönteminden (bootstrapping) faydalanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre öz yeterliliğin koronavirüs anksiyetesi ve intihar olasılığı arasındaki ilişkide kısmi olarak aracı rol oynadığı bulunmuştur. Aynı zamanda koronavirüs sebebiyle yalnız kaldığını söyleyenlerin koronavirüs kaygısı puanlarının yalnız kalmadığını söyleyenlere göre daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Son olarak pandemi sürecinde, pandemi şartlarından dolayı istismara uğrayanların koronavirüs kaygısı ve intihar olasılıkları puanlarının istismara uğramayanlara göre daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre öz yeterliliğin koronavirüs anksiyetesi ve intihar olasılığı arasındaki ilişkiye kısmi olarak aracılık ettiği bulunmuştur. Buna göre öz yeterliliğin artmasıyla intihar olasılığının azaldığı belirlenmiştir. Bulgular alanyazın ışığında tartışılmıştır.
