COVID-19 Salgını Sürecinde Ebelik Öğrencilerinin Depresyon, Anksiyete ve Stres Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, COVID-19 salgını sürecinde ebelik öğrencilerinin depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeylerinin belirlenmesidir. Yöntem: Bu araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tiptedir. Araştırma 10 Mayıs-10 Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında Samsun’da bir üniversitenin ebelik bölümünde eğitim gören 336 öğrenci ile online olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler; kişisel bilgi formu ve Depresyon, Anksiyete, Stres Ölçeği-21 kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.62±2.24’dir ve tamamına yakını (%98.8) bekardır. Öğrencilerin %21.8’inde orta düzeyde orta düzeyde depresyon, %18.4’ünde hafif düzeyde anksiyete, %13.1’inde hafif düzeyde stres belirtileri saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin depresyon, anksiyete ve stres alt boyut puanları ile yaş, sınıf, medeni durum, çalışma durumu, kronik hastalığa sahip olma değişkenleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yok iken (p>0.05), salgın öncesi ruhsal sorunlar için destek alma değişkeni, salgın sürecinde psikolojik desteğe ihtiyaç duyma değişkeni ve salgın sürecinde günlük ortalama COVID-19 hakkında haber izleme saat değişkeni arasında anlamlı düzeyde fark saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin %48.6’sında depresyon, %30.7’sinde anksiyete ve %32.7’sinde stres belirtileri farklı düzeylerde saptanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda, öğrencilerin ulaşılabilir rehberlik hizmeti alabilmesi önerilmektedir. Özellikle, üniversite yönetimlerinin öğrencilere sunulan psikolojik destek ve danışmanlık sistemlerini COVID-19 pandemi süreci ve sonrasında artırması oldukça önemlidir.
