Özet:

 In order to prevent the spread of Covid-19, measures have been taken to gradually reduce social interaction between people. Due to the rate of transmission and high mortality, people are worried about the disease. Social distancing, isolation and quarantine are critical to slow the spread of COVID-19. With these measures, it is aimed to protect the elderly who are in the high risk group. The elderly and those with chronic diseases were included in the curfew as a priority, as deaths related to COVID-19 occurred primarily in the elderly and those with concomitant diseases such as chronic diseases, respiratory diseases or diabetes. A phobia refers to a persistent and excessive fear of a person, event, or situation. Persistence of fear is also explained as phobia. The news of death related to COVID-19 in written, visual and social media increases the levels of anxiety and fear, especially in the elderly. In the elderly, especially the fear of contracting COVID-19 and the fear of loneliness and death during the epidemic cause mental health problems. This study, which was prepared to measure Covid-19 Phobia in the elderly, aims to contribute to the literature. Ethics committee permission was obtained for the study according to the protocol number 0803 dated 27092021 of Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University Social and Human Sciences Ethics Committee. For this purpose, data were collected by applying a questionnaire to 300 elderly individuals living in Erzincan. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS.20 program. Since the questions were suitable for normal distribution, parametric tests were used in the analysis.

 Covid-19un yayılmasını önlemek amacıyla, insanlar arasındaki sosyal etkileşimi kademeli olarak azaltmak için kısıtlamalara yönelik tedbirler alınmıştır. Bulaşma hızı oranı ve yüksek ölüm oranı nedeniyle, insanlar hastalık konusunda endişelidir. COVID-19un yayılmasını yavaşlatmak için sosyal mesafe, izolasyon ve karantina kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu tedbirlerle yüksek risk grubunda olan yaşlıların korunması amaçlanmıştır. COVID-19 ile ilgili ölümler öncelikle yaşlılarda ve esas olarak kronik hastalıklar, solunum hastalıkları veya diyabet gibi eşzamanlı hastalıkları olanlarda meydana geldiğinden dolayı yaşlılar ve kronik hastalığı olanlar sokağa çıkma yasağına öncelikli olarak dâhil edilmiştir. Fobi, bir kişi, olay veya durumla ilgili sürekli ve aşırı korkuyu ifade eder. Korkunun süreklilik kazanması da fobi olarak açıklanmaktadır. Yazılı, görsel ve sosyal medyada COVID-19la ilgili ölüm haberleri özellikle yaşlılarda endişe ve korku düzeylerini artırmaktadır. Yaşlılarda, özellikle COVID-19a yakalanma korkusu ve salgın sırasında yalnızlık ve ölüm korkusu ruh sağlığı sorunlarına neden olmaktadır. Yaşlılarda Covid-19 Fobisini ölçmek amacıyla hazırlanan bu çalışmanın literatüre katkı sağlaması amaçlanmaktadır. Erzincan Binali Yıldırım Üniversitesi Sosyal ve Beşerî Bilimler Etik Kurulunun 27092021 toplantı tarihli 0803 protokol numaralı kararına göre çalışma için etik kurul izini alınmıştır. Bu amaçla, Erzincanda yaşayan 300 yaşlı bireye anket uygulanarak veriler toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler SPSS.20 programında analiz edilmiştir. Sorular normal dağılıma uygun olduğu için paremetrik testler analizde kullanılmıştır.
