Pandemi Döneminde Üniversite Öğrencilerinin İyilik Halleri

Bu araştırmada COVİD-19 pandemisi döneminde üniversite öğrencilerinin iyilik halinin (fiziksel, sosyal, duygusal, bilişsel ve yaşamı anlamlandırma/hedef odaklı olma boyutlarında) ne durumda olduğu sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır. Veriler 371 (272 K ve 94 E) üniversite öğrencisinden beş boyutlu olan İyilik Hali Yıldızı Ölçeği ile bir kişisel bilgi formu aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular, kadın öğrencilerin sosyal iyilik hallerinin erkek öğrencilere göre, sözel ve sosyal alanlarda eğitim görenlerin bilişsel iyilik hallerinin sayısal ve teknoloji alanında öğrenci olanlara göre daha yüksek olduğunu ve yaş grupları arasında iyilik hali konusunda fark bulunmadığını göstermiştir. Kişilerarası iletişimlerinin pandemi öncesine göre daha kötü, aynı ya da daha iyi olduğunu ifade eden öğrenciler arasında toplamda ve iyilik halinin bilişsel boyutu hariç diğer dört boyutunda anlamlı farklar bulunmuştur. Katılımcılar pandemiden önceki döneme göre bütün iyilik hali boyutlarında daha fazla olumsuz değişiklikler yaşamışlarsa da en üst düzeydeki olumsuzluğun fiziksel boyutta olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Yaşamı anlamlandırma/hedef odaklı olma boyutu hariç, diğer dört iyilik hali boyutlarındaki değişiklikler arasında anlamlı farklar bulunmuştur. Sosyal iyilik hali boyutu diğer boyutlara göre daha az değişen boyut olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgulara dayanarak, üniversitelerin psikolojik danışma merkezlerinde öğrencilerin iyilik hallerini artırmaya katkıda bulunabilecek müdahaleler ile gelecekte akademik olarak yapılabilecek çalışmalara yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
