Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has caused devastating consequences as psychological traumas especially for healthcare professionals, who play an active role and are at greatest risk in this process. It is important to protect their health to prevent the health system from collapsing. The purpose of this study is to reveal the mediating role of coronavirus fear in the effect of psychological resilience on life satisfaction. coronavirus fear, psychological resilience, and life satisfaction scales were applied to 414 healthcare professionals in 36 provinces of Turkey. The findings show that the increase in the fear of coronavirus decreases the levels of psychological resilience and life satisfaction, whereas the increase in psychological resilience increases the level of life satisfaction. The results suggest that coronavirus fear may contribute to understanding the association between psychological resilience and life satisfaction among healthcare professionals.

Abstract

COVID-19 salgını, özellikle bu süreçte aktif bir rol oynayan ve en büyük risk altında olan sağlık çalışanları için psikolojik travmalar gibi yıkıcı sonuçlara neden olmaktadır. Sağlık sisteminin çökmesini önlemek için sağlık çalışanlarının sağlıklarını korumak önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, psikolojik sağlamlığın yaşam doyumu üzerindeki etkisinde koronavirüs korkusunun aracı rolünü ortaya çıkarmaktır. Türkiye'nin 36 ilinde 414 sağlık çalışanına koronavirüs korkusu, psikolojik sağlamlık ve yaşam doyumu ölçekleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, koronavirüs korkusundaki artışın psikolojik sağlamlık ve yaşam doyumu düzeylerini azalttığını, psikolojik sağlamlık düzeyindeki artışın ise yaşam doyumu düzeyini artırdığını göstermektedir. Sonuçlar, koronavirüs korkusunun sağlık profesyonelleri arasında psikolojik dayanıklılık ve yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamaya katkıda bulunabileceğini göstermektedir.
