Psikolojik Sağlamlık ile COVID-19 Fobisi Arasındaki İlişkide Ruminatif Düşüncenin Aracı Etkisi

Bu araştırmada psikolojik sağlamlık ile COVID-19 fobisi arasındaki ilişkide ruminatif düşüncenin aracı etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklemi farklı programlarında öğrenim gören 123’ü erkek ve 286’sı kadın toplam 409 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın verilerini toplamada, “COVID-19 Fobisi Ölçeği”, “Connor ve Davidson Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği”, “Ruminasyon Ölçeği Kısa Formu” ve “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada psikolojik sağlamlık ile COVID-19 fobisi arasındaki ilişkide ruminatif düşüncenin aracı etkisi yapısal eşitlik modeliyle incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre; ruminasyonun COVID-19 fobisiyle pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu ve ruminasyonun psikolojik sağlamlıkla negatif yönde ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca psikolojik sağlamlık ile COVID-19 fobisi arasında da negatif yönde bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Son olarak, dolaylı etkiye bakıldığında %95 güven aralığında ruminatif düşüncenin psikolojik sağlamlık ile COVID-19 fobisi arasındaki ilişkide aracılık rolünün olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Diğer bir deyişle, psikolojik sağlamlığın COVID-19 fobisine karşı koruyucu rolüne ruminasyonun olumsuz bir katkısının olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Tüm modelin anlamlı olduğu ve ruminasyon ile psikolojik sağlamlığın birlikte COVID-19 fobisindeki değişimin %12’sini açıkladığı tespit edilmiştir. İlgili alanyazın ışığında araştırma bulguları tartışılmıştır.

The Mediating Effect of Ruminative Thinking on The Relationship between Resilience and COVID-19 Phobia

The aim of the study is to examine the mediating effect of ruminative thinking on the relationship between resilience and COVID-19 phobia. The total number of students who took part in the research is 409 and 123 of them are male, and 286 are female, studying in different programs at a state university. “COVID-19 Phobia Scale”, “Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale” “Rumination Scale Short Form” and “Personal Information Form” were used as data collection tools in the study. The mediating effect of ruminative thinking on the relationship between resilience and COVID-19 phobia was examined with the structural equation model. According to the results; rumination was positively associated with COVID-19 phobia and rumination was negatively associated with resilience. In addition, a negative relationship was found between psychological resilience and COVID-19 phobia. Finally, when the indirect effect is examined, it has been revealed that ruminative thinking has a mediating role in the relationship between resilience and COVID-19 phobia in the 95% confidence interval. In other words, it has been observed that rumination has a negative contribution to the protective role of resilience against COVID-19 phobia. It was determined that the whole model was significant and rumination and resilience together explained 12% of the change in COVID-19 phobia. The research findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature.
