Abstract

Giriş: COVID-19 hastalığı bulaşıcılığı ve ciddiyeti ile tüm dünyada endişe yaratmıştır. Sadece fizyolojik hastalık oluşturarak enfekte olanları etkilemeyip toplumun genelinin ruhsal sağlığını da tehdit etmiştir. Pandemiye ilişkin kaygı ve algı toplumun başa çıkma stratejilerini etkilemektedir. Amaç: Araştırma, COVID-19 salgını sırasında Mersin’de yaşayan halkın Sağlık İnanç Modeli kapsamında salgına ilişkin algısının, başa çıkma tutumlarına ve kaygıya olan etkisini değerlendirmek amacı ile yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel türdeki araştırmanın örneklemini Mersin’de bir üniversite hastanesine başvuran 433 kişi oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında “Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Formu”, “COVID-19 Algı Anketi”, “Durumluluk Kaygı Envanteri” ve “Başa Çıkma Tutumlarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılanların COVID-19 Algı anketi duyarlılık ve engel algısı “ortalamanın altında”, ciddiyet ve yarar algısı, sağlık motivasyonu, öz-etkililik ve eyleme geçirici faktörler puan ortalaması ile Başa Çıkma Tutumlarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği puan ortalaması “ortalamanın üstünde”, Durumluluk Kaygı Envanteri puan ortalaması ise “ortalamanın altında” bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Sonuç ve Öneriler: Mersin’de yaşayan halkın COVID-19 salgınının tedbirli normalleşme sürecinde Sağlık İnanç Modeli temelli duyarlılık ve engel algısı ortalamanın altında, ciddiyet ve yarar algısı ile başa çıkma tutumlarının ortalamanın üstünde ve kaygı düzeyinin ortalamanın altında olduğu belirlenmiştir.
