Öz

Bu çalışma COVID-19 tanısı alan tedavisi ve taburculuğu gerçekleşen hasta eşlerinin koronavirüs korkusu ve yaşam kalitesi algılarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Kesitsel-tanımlayıcı türdeki bu araştırma bir ilçe devlet hastanesinde COVID-19 tanısı alan tedavisi ve taburculuğu gerçekleşen 111 hastanın eşi ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler Hasta Eşi Tanıtım Formu, Kovid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği, WHOQOL BREF 27 Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Veriler yüzdelik, ortalama, standart sapma, t testi, Mann Whitney-U testi, Kruskal Wallis Varyans analizi ve Pearson Korelasyon katsayısı ile değerlendirilmiştir. Katılımcıların Kovid-19 Korkusu ölçek puan ortalaması 16.92 ± 6.20’dir. Katılımcıların eğitim durumu, kronik hastalık durumu, eşin hastanede yatış süresi ve yeni tip koronavirüs bilgisinin olması durumu ile yaşam kalitesi alt boyut puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı saptanmıştır. Bireylerin korku düzeyleri arttıkça yaşam kalitesi psikolojik sağlık alt boyut puanı azalmaktadır.

Coronavirus Fear and Life Quality Perceptions of COVID-19 Positive Patients' Spouses

Öz

This study was conducted to determine the fear of coronavirus and quality of life perceptions of the spouses of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who were treated and discharged. This cross sectional descriptive study was conducted with the spouses of 111 patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 in a district state hospital and were treated and discharged. Data were collected with the Patient Spouse Identification Form, the COVID-19 Fear Scale, and the WHOQOL BREF 27 Quality of Life Scale. Data were evaluated by percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t test, Mann Whitney-U test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson Correlation coefficient. The mean COVID-19 Fear scale score of the participants was 16.92 ± 6.20. A statistically significant difference was found between the education level, chronic disease status, hospitalization period of the spouse, and knowledge of the new type of coronavirus and the quality of life sub-dimensions mean scores of the participants. As individuals' fear levels increase, the quality of life psychological health sub-dimension score decreases.
