Amaç:Bu çalışma, pandeminin ilk döneminde Algılanan Stres Ölçeği-10'un (ASÖ-10) Türkçe versiyonunu kullanarak COVID-19 pandemisinin bir grup adölesan üzerindeki Algılanan Stres (AS) etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır.
Materyal ve Metot:Google Dokümanlar platformu aracılığıyla 14-18 yaş arası adölesanlara kesitsel bir anket uygulanmıştır. Analiz, IBM SPSS Statistics sürüm 1.0.0.1347 (IBM, New York, ABD) kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Demografik verilerin kategorik değişkenlerini analiz etmek için ki-kare testleri, bağımsız örneklemler için gruplar arasındaki farklılıkları karşılaştırmak için t-testi kullanılmıştır. Ortalama fark, 0.05'te istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular:Çalışmaya 316 adölesan dahil edilmiştir. Adölesanlarda orta düzeyde AS (19,91±3,54) tespit etmiştir. Erkekler kızlardan anlamlı derecede daha yüksek puan almış (p=0,046), daha yüksek aile gelir grubu, düşük aile gelir gruplarından önemli ölçüde daha yüksek bir AS göstermiştir (p<0.05; F=5.144). Ebeveynlerinin sağlık çalışanı olduğunu bildiren adölesanların, ebeveynlerinin sağlık çalışanı olmadığını bildiren adölesanlara kıyasla daha yüksek AS'e sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi, daha yüksek aile gelirinin ASÖ-10 puanlarını 1,71 (p=,016) artırdığını göstermiştir.
Sonuç:Bu çalışmada adölesanlara dikkat çekmeyi amaçladık. Sonuçlarımız ebeveynleri sağlık çalışanı olan, gelir düzeyi fazla olan erkeklerin daha fazla AS’e sahip olduklarını göstermektedir. ASÖ-10 kullanıcı dostudur ve özellikle pandemi sırasında hızlı bir ölçüm sağlayarak yalnızca birkaç dakika içinde uygulanabilmektedir.

Evaluation of Perceived Stress Among a Group of Adolescents During the Covıd-19 Pandemic In Turkey

Öz

Abstract: This study aimed to determine the Perceived Stress (AS) effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on a group of adolescents by using the Turkish version of the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (ASÖ-10) in the first period of the pandemic.
Objectives: The present study aimed to identify, among a group of adolescents, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Perceived Stress (PS) using Turkish version of Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) at initial period of pandemic.
Materials and Metods: A cross-sectional survey was administered to adolescents aged 14–18 years who were invited to participate in the online survey via the Google Docs platform.The analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics version 1.0.0.1347 (IBM, New York, USA).Chi-squared tests were used to analyze the categorical variables of the demographic data, and the t-test was used to compare the differences between the groups for the independent samples.
Results:A sample of 316 adolescents were enrolled in the study.The study population reported moderate levels of PS (19.91±3.54).Boys scored significantly higher than girls (p=0.046). The higher family income group showed a significantly higher PS than low income groups (p<0.05; F=5.144). Participants who reported mother’s and father’s job were health care workers (HCWs) had higher PS compared with participants who reported mother’s and father’s job wasn’t related HCWs. Multiple linear regression analysis showed the higher family income increased their PSS-10 scores by 1.71 (p=.016).
Conclusion:We aimed to draw attention to adolescents in this study because we thought that they should receive support to help them cope with pandemic-related stress and get them through this period with a healthier spirit. The PSS-10 was user friendly and can be only applied in a few minutes providing a quick measurement especially during pandemic.
