Abstract

Bu araştırma, koronavirüs hastalığı pandemi sürecinde kronik hastalığı olan kadınların kaygı durumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin güneydoğusunda bulunan bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinin dahiliye polikliniğinde, Şubat-Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Verilerin toplanmasında Birey Tanıtıcı Anketi ve Spielberger Durumluk- Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği formları kullanıldı. Katılımcıların durumluluk kaygı puan ortalaması 46.40±10.46 ve sürekli kaygı puan ortalaması 49.56±9.33’tür. Pandemi sürecinde aile ile ilişkisi iyi olan ve sağlık durumu etkilenmeyen katılımcıların sürekli kaygı puan ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşük bulundu (p<0.05). Ekonomik durumu kötü olan katılımcıların sürekli kaygı puan ortalamaları istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek bulundu (p<0.05). Kronik hastalığı olan kadınların orta düzeyde kaygı yaşadıkları ve pandemi sürecinden olumsuz etkilendikleri belirlendi. Bu bilgiler doğrultusunda kronik hastalığı olan kadınların artan kaygıları nedeniyle psikososyal desteğe daha fazla ihtiyaç duydukları ve önemle ele alınması gereken bir grup oldukları öne çıkmaktadır. Bu konuda daha fazla tanımlayıcı çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.

DETERMINATION OF ANXIETY STATUS IN WOMEN WITH CHRONIC DISEASE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the anxiety status of women with chronic diseases during the coronavirus disease pandemic. This descriptive study was conducted in February-August 2021 within the internal medicine outpatient clinic of a training and research hospital located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. Individual Descriptive Questionnaire and Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory forms were used to collect data. The mean state anxiety score of the participants was 46.40±10.46, and the mean trait anxiety score was 49.56±9.33. The trait anxiety mean scores of the participants who have a good relationship with the family and whose health status was not affected during the pandemic was found to lower statistically significant (p<0.05). The trait anxiety mean scores of the participants who have poor economic status was found to higher statistically significant (p<0.05). It was determined that women with chronic diseases had moderate anxiety and were negatively affected by the pandemic process. In line with this information, it comes to the fore that women with chronic diseases need more psychosocial support due to their increased anxiety and they are a group that should be handled with care. It is recommended that more descriptive studies be carried out on this subject.
