An Investigation of Psychological Resilience and Core Belief Levels of Women During the Covid-19 Pandemic and Affecting Factors

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study is to determine the psychological resilience and core belief levels of women during the COVID-19 pandemic period and examine the affecting factors. Method: The study is in a cross-sectional design. The data were collected from 792 women using the Descriptive Information Form, the Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Core Beliefs Inventory. Descriptive statistics and the Ordinary Least Square Regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean score of the “psychological resilience scale” was 66.50±13.40 and “core beliefs inventory” was 27.87±10.76. The COVID-19 fear score of women was found to be 6.31±1.98 out of 10. The psychological resilience levels were higher in working women, older women, and those with higher education levels (p<0.05). A negative significant relationship was found between the fear of COVID-19 and psychological resilience (p<0.05), and a positive correlation was found between women's age, working status, psychological resilience, and core belief levels (p<0.05). Conclusion: The mean score of psychological resilience and core beliefs of women in the COVID-19 pandemic was found to be moderately good. Some socio-demographic characteristics and factors can affect women's resilience and core beliefs.
