Abstract

Türkiye’de COVID-19 salgınına yönelik kısıtlamaların yürürlüğe konduğu Nisan ayında, bir sağlık tedbiri olarak önce altmış beş yaş ve üstündekilere, sonrasında ise 20 yaş altındakilere sokağa çıkma yasağı getirilmiştir. Salgınla mücadelenin başarısı açısından, gençlerin resmî kurumlarca yürürlüğe konan bu tedbirlere yönelik tutumları önemlidir. Sağlık tedbirlerine uymamak, sağlığı tehlikeye atmaktır ve gençlerin riskli davranışlar sergilemeye eğilimleri olduğu bilinmektedir. Mevcut çalışmada, Türkiye’nin büyükşehirlerinde yaşayan gençlerin COVID-19 salgınıyla mücadeleye yönelik tedbirleri destekleme düzeyleri, bu desteğin, riskli davranış ve yaşçılık eğilimleriyle ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Veriler, 2096 (1461:K, 635:E) lise son sınıf öğrencisinden çevrimiçi anket yoluyla toplanmıştır. Öğrencilerin salgınla mücadele amaçlı kısıtlamaları büyük ölçüde destekledikleri, en az desteklenen kısıtlamaların seyahatler ve bir araya toplanmakla ilgili olanlar olduğu görülmüştür. Öz-bildirimlerine göre gençler, nadiren riskli davranışlarda bulunmaktadır ve düşmanca yaşçılık düzeyleri düşük, korumacı yaşçılık düzeyleri görece yüksektir. Bazı yaşam alanlarındaki riskli davranışlar (riskli trafik davranışları ve temizlik kurallarının ihlali) COVID-19 salgınından korunma tedbirlerini desteklemenin anlamlı yordayıcılarıdır ve korumacı yaşçılık, riskli davranışlar kontrol edildikten sonra bile, COVID-19 salgınından korunma tedbirlerini desteklemeyi yordamaktadır.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS' RISKY BEHAVIORS, AGEISM TENDENCIES AND SUPPORT TO THE OFFICIAL RESTRICTIONS FOR THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK

Year 2022, Volume: 51 Issue: 234, 1709 - 1732, 09.05.2022

Abstract

In April, when the restrictions for COVID-19 outbreak were implemented in Turkey, a curfew was imposed first on those aged sixty-five and above, and then on those under 20 as a health measure. To fight against outbreak effectively, the attitudes of the youth towards the official measures are important. Disobeying to health-related enforcement risks people’s health, and it is known that young people have a tendency to exhibit risky behaviors. In the present study, the support for the official restrictions, their risk behavior and ageism tendencies by the youth living in the large cities of Turkey were examined. Data was collected through an online survey from 2096 high school seniors (1461:F, 635:M). The results revealed that students generally supported restrictions aimed at combating the outbreak, with the least supported restrictions being those related to traveling and social gatherings. According to their self-report, young people engage in risky behaviors rarely, and their hostile ageism levels are low, while their benevolent ageism levels are relatively high. Risky behaviors at some domains (risky traffic behaviors and violation of hygiene norms) are significant predictors of the support for the restrictions for the outbreak, and benevolent ageism predicts support for the measures against the COVID-19 outbreak, even after risky behaviors have been controlled.
