Özet:

 This study aims to determine and investigate COVID-19 fear level, quality of life, and follow-up-related data during the pandemic in patients with bipolar disorder in remission who were followed up at a Community Mental Health Center CMHC. The study included 42 individuals who admitted to the CMHC unit between June and July 2022. Participants were assessed by using a sociodemographic data form, the COVID-19 Fear Scale, the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 WHODAS 2.0, and the Clinical Global Impression Scale CGI. The data were analyzed using independent groups T-test and Pearson correlation test. During the pandemic, no change was determined in the frequency of psychiatric hospitalizations in 95.2 n40, and manic andor depressive episodes in 69 n29 of the patients. While 92.9 n39 of the patients reported no difficulty attending psychiatric follow-ups, 64.3 n27 stated that they did not experience COVID-19-related challenges accessing non-psychiatric services. The average COVID-19 fear score was 15.217.57, WHODAS 2.0 was 10.297.27, and CGI was 2.570.77. No significant relationships were found between the variables p0.05. In conclusion, the stability in episode frequency and hospital follow-ups during the pandemic highlights the importance of CMHC monitoring, emphasizing the need to enhance such services, especially during crises.

 Amacımız Toplum Ruh Sağlığı Merkezinde TRSM takip edilmekte olan remisyonda bipolar bozukluk tanılı hastaların COVID-19 korku düzeyini, yaşam kalitesini ve pandemi sürecinde takiplerine ilişkin verileri saptamaktır. Araştırmaya Dışkapı Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi TRSM birimine Haziran 2022 ila Temmuz 2022 tarihleri arasında başvuran 42 kişi dâhil edilmiştir. Katılımcılar sosyodemografik veri formu, COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yetiyitimi Değerlendirme Çizelgesi 2.0 WHODAS 2.0, Klinik Global İzlenim Ölçeği KGİ uygulanmıştır. Veriler bağımsız gruplar T-testi, Pearson korelasyon testi ile analize tabi tutulmuştur. Pandemi süresince, hastaların 95.2sinde n40 psikiyatri servisi yatış sıklığında; 69unda n29 manik veveya depresif atak sıklığında değişiklik olmadığı saptandı. Hastaların 92.9u n39 psikiyatri kontrollerine devam etmekte zorlanmazken 64.3ünün n27 psikiyatri dışı bölümlere gitmekte COVID-19 kaynaklı zorluk yaşamadığını bildirdiği saptandı. COVID-19 korku puan ortalaması 15.217.57, WHODAS 2.0 10.297.27 ve KGİ 2.570.77 olarak saptandı. Değişkenler arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı p0.05. Sonuç olarak TRSM takibindeki hastaların pandemi döneminde atak sıklığında, hastane takiplerinde pandemi öncesi döneme göre bir farklılık olmaması TRSM takiplerinin önemini göstermiştir. Çalışmamız ülkemizde TRSM faaliyetlerinin öne çıkarılması ve pandemi gibi kriz dönemlerinde faaliyetlerinin daha da iyileştirilmesi açısından önemlidir.
