Özet:

 This study was conducted to assess the fear of COVID-19 and the caregiver burden of COVID-19 patients. This study used a descriptive design. Individuals aged 18 years and older who provided home care to COVID-19 patients. Data of study were collected using the Introductory Questionnaire, The Fear of COVID-19 Scale FCV-19S and The Zarit Burden Inventory ZBI. Number, percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, Cronbach α, regression and general linear model multivariate analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. In this study, the mean FCV-19S score of the caregivers was 21.59.2, and the mean ZBI score was 37.824.6. Multivariate analysis found that all the independent variables accounted for 52.5 of the total variance for fear of COVID-19 R492589.02, F40.78, p0.001. Multivariate analysis found that all the independent variables accounted for 47.6 of the total variance for care burden R3023237.39, F33.53, p0.001. Having COVID-19, experiencing bereavement due to COVID-19, worry about being infected with COVID-19, fear of death while giving care, and self-assessed health status were found to be important predictors for FCV-19S and ZBI. As a result, considering that caregivers of COVID-19 patients have training and counseling, especially psychological support, can facilitate the care of COVID-19 patients at home.

 Bu çalışma, COVID-19 hastalarının bakım verenlerinde COVID-19 korkusunu ve bakım yükünü belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma COVID-19 hastalarına evde bakım veren 18 yaş ve üzeri bireyler ile tanımlayıcı tipte yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın verilerinin toplanmasında Tanıtıcı Anket Formu, Koronavirüs Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ve Bakım Verme Yükü Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler değerlendirilirken sayı, yüzde dağılımı, ortalama, standart sapma, Cronbach α güvenirlik katsayısı, regresyon ve general linear model multivariate analizi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada bakım veren bireylerin COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği puan ortalaması 21.5  9.2 ve Bakım Verme Yükü Ölçeği puan ortalaması 37.824.6 olarak bulunmuştur. Çok değişkenli analiz sonucu, tüm bağımsız değişkenlerin COVID-19 korkusu için toplam varyansın 52,5ini açıkladığını bulunmuştur R492589,02, F40,78, p0,001. Çok değişkenli analiz, tüm bağımsız değişkenlerin bakım yükü için toplam varyansın 47,6sını açıkladığını ortaya koymuştur R3023237,39, F33,53, p0,001. COVID-19 geçirmek, COVID-19 nedeniyle kayıp yaşamak, bakım sırasında COVID-19 bulaşacağını düşünmek, bakım verirken ölüm korkusu yaşamak, algılanan sağlık durumunun COVID-19 korkusu ve bakım yükü için önemli yordayıcılar olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, COVID-19 hastalarına bakım verenlerin eğitim ve danışmanlık, özellikle de psikolojik destek almaları COVID-19 hastalarının evde bakımını kolaylaştırabilir.
