Abstract

Bu çalışma, evli bireylerin COVID-19 nedeniyle ortaya çıkan yeni yaşam biçiminden etkilenme düzeyleri ile evlilikte stresle çift olarak baş etme ve problem çözme değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma grubunu Türkiye'de yaşayan 487 evli birey (%77 kadın, %23 erkek) oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde hiyerarşik çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına bakıldığında regresyon modelinin anlamlı olduğu ve COVID-19 pandemi etkisinin %46'sının evlilikte problem çözme ve stresle çift olarak baş etme ile açıklandığı bulunmuştur. Her iki yordayıcı değişkenin COVID-19 Etki Endeksi üzerindeki etkisi orta düzeydedir. Bu bulgu, çifte stresle ortak başa çıkma ve problem çözme becerisinin kazandırılması halinde çiftin zorlayıcı yaşam olayları karşısında daha fazla dayanıklılık gösterebileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. Covid 19 gibi stresli yaşam olaylarının ikili veya üçlü ilişkiler üzerindeki etkisini kişilik gibi içsel değişkenlerle açıklamak, ilişkilerin doğası hakkında daha az bilgi sağlar. Çift ilişkisinde partnerlerden birinin stresle başa çıkma ve problem çözme tarzı, karşısındaki açısından bir stres kaynağı olabilir. Bu nedenle çift ilişkisini inceleyen çalışmalarda sosyal bağlamı yansıtan çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

COVID-19 Stress in Married Individuals in Terms of Dyadic Coping and Problem-Solving in Marriage

Year 2022, , 687 - 704, 31.12.2022

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between the levels of married individuals being affected by the new life form that has emerged due to COVID-19 and the variables of dyadic coping with stress and problem-solving in marriage. The study group consists of 487 married individuals (77% women, 23% men) living in Turkey. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used in data analysis. It is found that regression model was significant and 46% of the COVID-19 pandemic effect was explained by problem-solving in marriage and dyadic coping with stress. The effect of both predictor variables on the COVID-19 Impact Index was moderate. This finding reveals that the couple can show greater resilience in the face of challenging life events if the ability to jointly cope with stress and problem solving is acquired. Explaining the impact of stressful life events such as Covid 19 on dyadic or triadic relationships with internal variables such as personality provides less information about the nature of relationships. In a couple relationship, the way one of the partners copes with stress and solves problems can be a source of stress for the other. For this reason, there is a need for studies that reflect the social context in studies examining the couple relationship.
