Bu çalışmada, koronavirüs (COVID-19) tedavisi tamamlanmış bireylerde travma sonrası büyümeye ilişkin deneyimlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmış 18 yaş üzerinde, COVID 19 tanısı alan ve tedavisi tamamlanan, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden bireylerle derinlemesine bireysel görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma kriterlerini karşılayan 16 bireyle (22-45 yaş) çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, fenomenolojik niteliksel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veriler, COVID-19 yayılmasını önlemek amacıyla internet tabanlı konferans görüşme programları üzerinden (Zoom, Google Meeting, Skype vb.) toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tematik analiz yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Nitel verilerin analizi sonucunda “COVID-19 Bütüncül Etkileri” ve “Travma Sonrası Büyüme” olmak üzere iki kategori elde edilmiştir. COVID-19 bütüncül etkileri kategorisinde üç tema ve beş alt tema, travma sonrası büyüme kategorisinde ise iki tema ve sekiz alt tema belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, hastalığı deneyimleyen bireylerin yaşama bakış açılarında, kendilik algılarında pozitif değişim geliştiği, ilişkilerinin güçlendiği, süreç boyunca etrafındaki destek kaynaklarının bireyleri olumlu yönde etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Araştırma, COVID-19 hastalarının psikolojik yönden büyümelerini kolaylaştırıcı etmenlere yönelik müdahalelerin planlanması ve uygulanması açısından önemli deneyimler sunmaktadır.

Öz

In this study, it is aimed that the experiences of post-traumatic growth in individuals treated for coronavirus (COVID -19) are examined. In this research, in-depth individual interviews were carried out with those over the age of 18 years old who had been diagnosed and completed treatment for COVID 19 and agreed to participate to the research. The research was conducted with 16 individuals (22-45 years) who met the research criteria. A phenomenological qualitative research method was used for this study. The data was gathered over the internet-based teleconferencing programs (Zoom, Google Meeting, Skype, etc.) in order to prevent the spread of COVID -19. The thematic analysis method was used in the data analysis. In consequence of the qualitative data analysis, two categories were obtained as "The Holistic Effects of COVID-19" and "Post Traumatic Growth." In the category of the holistic effects of COVID-19, three themes and five subordinate themes were established, and in the category of post-traumatic growth, two themes and eight subordinate themes were established. As a result of the research, it was established that the perspectives of individuals who experienced this sickness on life and their self-perception were positively developed, their relationships were strengthened, and the support resources surrounding them positively affected them during the period. The research presents significant experiences with regard to planning and implementing interventions aimed at the factors that promote psychological growth in COVID-19 patients.
