Özet:

 Objectives: The purpose of the study is to determine the depressive tendency levels and related factors of the first year medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A total of 1311 students from 94 faculty of medicine participated in this study.The survey was prepared on Google Forms and was shared with students via social media.The questionnaire consisted of demographic information, questions about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic process on the education of the participants, and the Beck Depression Inventory. Results: 64.8 of the students participated in the research were female and 35.2 were male. It was observed that 97 of the students increased their use of technology during the pandemic. Moderately severe depression was detected in 43.3 of the students, and severe depression in 16.6. 87.2 of those with a tendency to severe depression did not receive psychological support during the pandemic.Despite this, it is seen that the frequency of receiving psychological support is higher in those with moderate and severe depression tendencies.This difference was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: It should be expected that a significant portion of the students are prone to depression and the fact that most of them do not receive psychological support will create negative results in the short and long term.In special cases such as pandemics, it is necessary to strengthen the activities that will support the social life of young adults in order to protect their mental health.

 Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, tıp fakültesi 1.sınıf öğrencilerinin COVID-19 pandemisindeki depresif eğilim düzeylerini ve ilişkili faktörleri tespit etmektir. Yöntem: Araştırmaya 94 tıp fakültesinden toplam 1311 öğrenci katıldı. Öğrencilere ulaşmak için Google Forms üzerinden hazırlanan anket formu sosyal medya araçları üzerinden paylaşıldı. Anket formu demografik bilgiler, COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinin katılımcıların eğitimlerine etkisiyle ilgili sorular ve Beck Depresyon Ölçeğinden oluşmaktaydı. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin 64.8i kadın, 35.2si erkekti. Öğrencilerin 97sinin pandemi sırasında teknoloji kullanımının arttığı görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin 43.3ünde orta şiddetli, 16.6sında şiddetli düzeyde depresyon eğilimi tespit edilmiştir. Şiddetli depresyon eğilimi gösterenlerin 87.2si pandemi döneminde psikolojik destek almamıştır. Buna rağmen orta ve şiddetli derecede depresyon eğilimi olanların psikolojik destek alma sıklığının daha fazla olduğu görülmektedir. Bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Öğrencilerin önemli bir bölümünün depresyona eğilimli olmaları ve büyük bir kısmının psikolojik destek almıyor olmasının kısa ve uzun vadede olumsuz sonuçlar yaratması beklenmelidir. Pandemi gibi özel durumlarda genç erişkinlerin ruhsal sağlıklarının korunması amacıyla sosyal yaşamlarını destekleyecek faaliyetlerin güçlendirilmesi gereklidir.
