Amaç: Bu çalışma koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19) pandemi sürecinde kadınların yaşam doyumları ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin tüm bölgelerinde 18-68 yaşları arasında 512 kadın ile web tabanlı çevrimiçi anket kullanılarak yürütülmüştür. Veriler 'Katılımcı Bilgi Formu', 'COVID 19 Korkusu Ölçeği' ve 'Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği' ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Kadınların COVID-19 korkusu ve yaşam doyumu puanları sırasıyla 19.08±5.49 ve 14.69±4.16 olarak belirlenmiştir. Evli, 35 yaş ve üzeri, üniversite ve üzeri eğitim düzeyine sahip, sosyal izolasyon kurallarına daha az dikkat eden ve eşlerinden manevi destek alan kadınların yaşam doyumları anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti. Kadınların COVID 19 korkusu ve yaşam doyumu puanları arasında negatif yönlü ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır (r= -0.094, p = 0.033). Sonuç: Pandemi döneminde yaşam doyumunu etkileyen faktörlerin ve olumsuz etkilenen kadınların sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından zamanında tespit edilmesi ve uygun müdahalenin sağlanması, kadın sağlığı ve yaşam doyumunun artırılması açısından önemlidir.

The life satisfaction of women was significantly higher for, those who were 35 years of age and older, married, with a university or higher education level, paid less attention to social isolation rules and received moral support from their spouses. A negative and statistically significant correlation was observed between women’s scores on the FCV-19S and the SLS (r= -0.094, p = 0.033). Conclusions: Identifying women whose life satisfaction has decreased and negatively affected during the pandemic and providing timely and appropriate intervention by health professionals are important in terms of increasing women's health and life satisfaction.
