Pandemi Sürecinde Süs Bitkileri Yetiştirmenin İnsanlar Üzerindeki Duygusal Etkileri

Dünya çapında birçok ülkede olduğu gibi ülkemizde de SARS-CoV-2 virüsünün neden olduğu pandemi, zorunlu karantinaya sebep oldu. Hastalığın yayılmasını engellemek için önerilen uygulamalardan biri olan sosyal izolasyon; korku, depresyon ve stres gibi psikolojik yansımalara neden oldu. Bu çalışma, COVID-19 salgınının bir sonucu olarak, karantina döneminde evde bitki bulundurmanın ve yetiştirmenin rolü değerlendirildi. Bu anket çalışması; davranışsal, sosyal ve demografik değişkenler göz önünde bulundurularak, süs bitkileri yetiştirmenin insan üzerindeki duygusal etkilerinin değerlendirilmesini sağladı. Ankete 558 kişi katıldı. Araştırmaya alınan verilerin analizleri SPSS (Statistical Program in Social Sciences) 26 programı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Karşılaştırma testleri için anlamlılık düzeyi (p) 0,05 olarak alınmıştır. Cronbach Alfa (α) değeri 0,954 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmada AVE değeri 0,517 ve CR değeri ise 0,973 olarak hesaplanmış olup, kullanılan anketin geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu görülmektedir. Anket katılımcılarından toplanan verilere bağlı olarak, özellikle pandemi döneminde süs bitkileri yetiştirmenin iyi hissettirdiği ve ruh sağlığını olumlu etkilediği sonucu elde edildi.

The Emotional Effects of Growing Ornamental Plants on People in the Pandemic Process

As in many countries around the world, the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus caused mandatory quarantine in our country. Social isolation, one of the proposed practices to curb the spread of the disease; caused psychological repercussions, such as fear, depression and stress. This study evaluated the role of keeping and growing plants at home during the quarantine period as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. This survey study; with behavioral, social and demographic variables in mind, it enabled an assessment of the emotional effects of growing ornamental plants on human beings. 558 people took part in the survey. Analyses of the data received in the study were conducted through the SPSS (Statistical Program in Social Sciences) 26 program. The level of meaningfulness for comparison tests was taken as (p) 0.05. Cronbach Alpha (α) is calculated at 0.954. The AVE value in the study was calculated to be 0.517 and the CR to be 0.973, and the questionnaire used appears to be valid and reliable. Depending on the data collected from survey participants, the result was that growing ornamental plants, especially during the pandemic period, felt good and positively affected mental health.
