Abstract

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has started to appear in 2019, and has become an epidemic. Practices of quarantine, reported to have negative psychological effects in the past, have become widespread. In this study our aim was to examine the psychological conditions of individuals who were taken under quarantine. The sample of this study consisted of 42 individuals who came from Wuhan and were quarantined. All individuals were evaluated through questionnaires to provide psychological support to those in need during that process. Questionnaires were applied to all individuals on a voluntary basis and 30 questionnaires were evaluated. In the monitoring group, the difficulty caused by the risk of infection rather than quarantine stress appeared to be effective on anxiety and peritraumatic dissociation symptoms and at the end of quarantine, no difference has been observed in terms of traumatic stress levels and anxiety scores in the monitoring group compared to the beginning of quarantine. A need for psychosocial support may arise due to psychological impact related to risk of infectious diseases during quarantine practices.

Türkiye’de COVID-19’a Bağlı İlk Karantina Uygulamasına Alınan Kişilerin Psikolojik Yönden Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Yeni koronavirüs salgını 2019 yılında ortaya çıkmaya başlamış ve bir salgın haline gelmiştir. Geçmişte psikolojik olarak olumsuz etkileri olduğu bildirilen karantina uygulamaları yaygınlaşmıştır. Bu çalışmada amacımız karantina altına alınan bireylerin psikolojik durumlarını incelemekti. Bu çalışmanın örneklemini Wuhan'dan gelen ve karantinaya alınan 42 kişi oluşturmaktadır. İhtiyaç duyan kişilere psikolojik destek sağlamak için bu süreçte tüm bireyler anketlerle değerlendirilmiştir. Anketler gönüllülük temelli olarak uygulanmış olup 30 anket değerlendirilmiştir. İzlem grubunda, karantina stresinden çok enfeksiyon riskinin neden olduğu zorluk anksiyete ve peritravmatik dissosiyasyon semptomları üzerinde etkili görünmüş ve karantina sonunda izlem grubunda karantina başlangıcına kıyasla travmatik stres düzeyleri ve anksiyete puanları açısından fark görülmemiştir. Karantina uygulamaları sırasında bulaşıcı hastalık riskine bağlı psikolojik etkilenme nedeniyle psikososyal destek ihtiyacı ortaya çıkabilir.
