Examination of the Effect of Nurses' Death Anxiety Levels on Their Children's Fear Levels during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Öz: Objective: This research was conducted to examine the effect of nurses' death anxiety levels on their children's fear levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out online with 362 nurses. Data were collected using an introductory information form, the Death Anxiety Scale, and the Children's Fear Scale. Results: In the study, it was determined that the death anxiety (11.13 ± 2.88) of the nurses and the fear of their children (3.11 ± 1.34) mean score were high. There was a positive correlation between the nurses' death anxiety score and their children's fear score (r=0.139; p= 0.001). Conclusion: In the study, it was concluded that the death anxiety of the nurses and the fear of their children were high, and the fear levels of the children of the nurses with high death anxiety were higher. Our recommendation is to screen nurses' death anxiety and children's fear levels during the pandemic period and to provide psychological support when necessary.
Anahtar Kelime: COVID-19 Pandemi Sırasında Hemşirelerin Ölüm Kaygı Düzeylerinin Çocuklarının Korku Düzeylerine Etkisinin İncelenmesi
Öz: Amaç: Bu araştırma, COVID-19 pandemi sırasında hemşirelerin ölüm kaygı düzeylerinin çocuklarının korku düzeylerine etkisinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma 362 hemşire ile çevrimiçi olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler tanıtıcı bilgi formu, Ölüm Kaygısı Ölçeği ve Çocuk Korku Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmada hemşirelerin ölüm kaygısı (11.13 ± 2.88) ve çocuklarının (3.11 ± 1.34) korku puan ortalamalarının yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Hemşirelerin ölüm kaygısı puanları ile çocuklarının korku puanları arasında pozitif korelasyon bulunmuştur (r=0.139; p= 0.001). Sonuç: Çalışmada, hemşirelerin ölüm kaygısı ve çocuklarının korku düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu, ölüm kaygısı yüksek olan hemşirelerin çocuklarının korku düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Önerimiz, pandemi döneminde hemşirelerin ölüm kaygısı ve çocukların korku düzeylerinin taranması ve gerektiğinde psikolojik desteğin verilmesidir.
