The research was planned to determine the relationship between the fear of COVID-19 and adaptation to chronic diseases of individuals with chronic diseases. The population of the descriptive study consisted of individuals with at least one chronic disease living in Hakkari Province, and the sample consisted of 419 volunteer individuals with at least 1 chronic disease attached to the researchers' own social media accounts using the convenience sampling method. Ethics committee approval was obtained in the study, and data were collected using the Personal Descriptive Information Form, the COVID-19 Fear Scale (COVID-19 CS), and the Chronic Disease Adjustment Scale (CHUS). The mean age of the individuals in the study was 32.35±17.45, 59.4% of them were women. 41.8% of the participants reported that they had diseases such as neurological, cardiovascular and cancer, 24.3% of them and 75.5% of their relatives reported that they had COVID-19. Again, the mean score of COVID-19 PI of the participants was 19.10±7.53 and the mean score of HRAS was 73.75±18.85. It was determined that there was a significant increase in fear of COVID-19 as the age of the participants increased. It was found that women's mean scores of COVID-19 CS and HSQ physical adaptation sub-dimensions were significantly higher than men (p<0.05). It was determined that there was a moderately significant positive correlation between COVID-19 CS and HSQ (r=0.401; p<0.001). As a result, effective positive psychological interventions are recommended for individuals diagnosed with chronic diseases who have increased fear of COVID-19 during the pandemic.

Araştırma, kronik hastalığı olan bireylerin COVID-19 korkusu ve kronik hastalıklara uyumları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla planlandı. Tanımlayıcı tipte olan araştırmanın, evrenini Hakkari İli'nde yaşayan en az bir kronik hastalığı olan bireyler, örneklemini ise kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile araştırmacıların kendi sosyal medya hesaplarına ekli en az 1 kronik hastalığı olan gönüllü 419 birey oluşturdu. Etik kurul izni alınan çalışmada veriler, Kişisel Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği (COVID-19 KÖ) ile Kronik Hastalıklara Uyum Ölçeği (KHUÖ) kullanılarak toplandı. Araştırmadaki bireylerin yaş ortalaması 32,35±17,45, %59,4'si kadındır. Katılımcıların %41,8'i nörolojik, kalp damar ve kanser gibi hastalıklarının olduğunu, %24,3'ü kendileri ve %75,5'i yakınlarının COVID-19 geçirdiğini bildirdi. Yine katılımcıların COVID-19 KÖ puan ortalaması 19,10±7,53 ve KHUÖ puan ortalaması 73,75±18,85’tir. Katılımcıların yaşı arttıkça COVID-19 korkusunda da anlamlı bir artış olduğu saptandı. Kadınların COVID-19 KÖ ve KHUÖ fiziksel uyum alt boyut puan ortalamasının erkeklere göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu bulundu (p<0,05). COVID-19 KÖ ile KHUÖ arasında pozitif yönde orta seviyede anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptandı (r=0,401; p<0,001). Sonuç olarak, pandemi sırasında COVID-19 korkusu artmış olan kronik hastalık tanılı bireylere etkili pozitif psikolojik müdahaleler önerilmektedir.
