Comparison of Qualıty of Life, Depression, Anxiety and Stress in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Students Living with Parents and away from Parents

Abstract

Objective: Living with parents or away from their parents causes students to experience different psychological symptoms during university period. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of living with or without parents on quality of life, depression, anxiety and stress among physiotherapy and rehabilitation students. Material and Methods: A total of 149 Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation students (mean age;19.49±1.04 years) were included in the study, of which 112(%75.2) were away from their parents and 37(%24.8) were living with their parents. Students living away from their parents were grouped as student staying at home and in dormitories. Demographic characteristics of all participants were recorded. Depression, Anxiety
and Stress Scale were used for depression, anxiety and stress, and Nottingham Health Profile was used to evaluate quality of life. Mann Whitney U Test was used to compare the results. Findings: Depression, anxiety, stress and quality of life scores were worse among the students living with their parents, but the difference was not statistically significant (p>.05). In students living away from their parents; the anxiety, depression and stress scores of the groups staying in the dormitory or other home environment were similar. (p>.05). Although the quality of life scores of the students living in the dormitory seemed to be worse, the difference was not statistically significant (p=.542). Conclusion: Although different levels of anxiety, stress and quality of life effects were observed in the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation students, the results of our study showed that this effect was not related to living away from parents or living conditions.

Ailesi ile Yaşayan ve Ailesinden Ayrı Yaşayan Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü Öğrencilerinde Yaşam Kalitesi, Depresyon, Anksiyete ve Stresin Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Üniversite döneminde aile ile yaşama ya da aileden ayrı yaşama öğrencilerin farklı psikolojik semptomlar ile karşılaşmasına sebep olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü’nde okuyan öğrencilerde aile ile ya da aileden ayrı yaşamanın, öğrencilerde yaşam kalitesi, depresyon, anksiyete ve stres üzerine etkilerinin karşılaştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 112’si (%75.2) ailesinden ayrı yaşayan, 37’si (%24.8) ailesi ile yaşayan olmak üzere toplam 149 Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü öğrencisi (ortalama yaş;19.49±1.04) dâhil edildi. Ailesinden ayrı yaşayan öğrenciler evde ve yurtta kalan öğrenciler olarak gruplandırıldı. Tüm katılımcıların demografik özellikleri kaydedildi. Depresyon, anksiyete ve stres için Depresyon, Anksiyete ve Stres Ölçeği, yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için Nottingham Sağlık Profili kullanıldı. Ölçek sonuçlarının karşılaştırılmasında Mann Whitney U Testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Depresyon, anksiyete, stres ve yaşam kalitesi skorları ailesi ile yaşayan öğrencilerde daha kötü seyretmekle birlikte aradaki fark istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı değildi (p>.05). Ailesinden ayrı yaşayan öğrencilerde; yurtta ya da başka ev ortamında kalan grupların anksiyete, depresyon ve stres skorları benzerdi (p>.05).Yurtta yaşayan öğrencilerin yaşam kalitesi skorları daha kötü gibi görünse de fark istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı değildi (p=.542). Sonuç: Fizyoterapi ve Rehabilitasyon Bölümü öğrencilerinde farklı düzeylerde anksiyete stres ve yaşam kalitesi etkilenimleri görülse de çalışmamız sonuçları bu etkilenimin aileden ayrı yaşamak ya da yaşanılan ortam şartları ile ilişkisi olmadığını göstermiştir.
