The Determination of the Fear of COVID-19 and Related Factors of Parents Applying to the Hospital for their Children

Öz:
Objective: The study was conducted to determine the fear of COVID-19 and related factors of parents applying to the hospital for their children. Methods: The research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study was conducted in a training and research hospital in Sakarya province of Türkiye between December 2020 and February 2021. The study sample consisted of a total of 291 parents, including 179 mothers and 112 fathers who applied to the hospital for their children, agreed to participate in the study, and filled out the data collection forms completely. The data were evaluated with the SPSS program, using percentages, averages, the t-test, and ANOVA. Results: Of the parents participating in the study, 61.5% were mothers, and 38.5% were fathers. The mothers' mean score on the Fear of COVID-19 Scale was statistically significantly higher (20.93±6.51) compared to that of fathers (16.96±7.40) (p=0.000). The fear of COVID-19 of parents of children receiving inpatient treatment and care in the clinic was higher than the fear of COVID-19 of parents of children benefiting from outpatient services. A significant difference was identified between the total score averages of the Fear of COVID-19 Scale of mothers and fathers, respectively, and the fear of COVID-19 transmission from the hospital to their children and themselves, refraining from presenting to the hospital due to the pandemic (p˂0.05). Conclusion: It was revealed that the fear of COVID-19 was high in mothers and parents of children who received inpatient treatment in the clinic.

Çalışma Türkiye’nin Sakarya ilinde bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesinde Aralık 2020-Şubat 2021 tarihleri arasında yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın örneklemini hastaneye çocuğu için başvuran, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden, veri toplama formlarını eksiksiz dolduran 179 anne, 112 baba olmak üzere toplam 291 ebeveyn oluşturdu. Veriler SPSS programı ile yüzde, ortalama, t-testi ve ANOVA kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan ebeveynlerin %61’5’i anne, %38.5’i babadır. Annelerin COVID-19 korku ölçek toplam puan ortalamasının (20.93± 6.51) babalara (16.96±7.40) göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (p=0.000). Klinikte yatarak tedavi ve bakım alan çocukların ebeveynlerinin COVID-19 korkusu poliklinik hizmetinden yararlanan çocukların ebeveynlerinin COVID-19 korkusundan fazladır. Anne ve babaların sırasıyla COVID- 19 korkusu ölçeği toplam puan ortalamaları ile hastaneden çocuğuna ve kendisine COVID-19 bulaşma korkusu, pandemi nedeniyle hastaneye gelmekten çekinme durumu arasında anlamlı derecede bir farklılık bulunmuştur (p˂0.05). Sonuç: Annelerde ve klinikte çocuğu yatarak tedavi gören ebeveynlerde COVID-19 korkusunun yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
