Özet:

 It was aimed to examine the depression, anxiety and stress levels of patients during the COVID-19 epidemic and to reveal the associated factors. A total of 291 patients who applied to the university hospital in Kahramanmaraş for treatment were included in this cross-sectional study. The research was carried out between 27 January-10 February 2022. The scale developed by Henry and Crawford 2005 was used to measure the depression, anxiety and stress levels of the participants. In data analysis, t test, analysis of variance test and descriptive statistics were used. It was determined that the depression, anxiety and stress levels of the participants were moderate. Women, those with chronic illnesses and individuals who stated that they regularly followed the news about the epidemic stated higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress. It has been determined that the depression and stress levels of the individuals who regularly smoke and are single are higher. In addition, it was observed that the levels of anxiety and depression were lower in patients who stated that they trusted the vaccine and did sports regularly. With these results, some antecedent factors that should be taken into account in order to improve the mental health of patients in pandemics have been revealed.

 Bu çalışma ile COVID-19 salgın sürecinde hastaların depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeylerini incelemek ve ilişkili faktörleri ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Bu kesitsel nitelikteki çalışmaya Kahramanmaraş ilindeki üniversitesi hastanesine tedavi için başvuran toplam 291 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Araştırma 27 Ocak-10 Şubat 2022 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeylerini ölçmek için Henry ve Crawford 2005 tarafından geliştirilen ölçek kullanılmıştır. Veri analizinde, t testi, varyans analizi testi ve tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeylerinin orta şiddette olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kadınlar, kronik rahatsızlığı olanlar ve salgın ile ilgili haberleri düzenli olarak takip ettiğini belirten bireyler daha yüksek depresyon, anksiyete ve stres düzeyi belirtmiştir. Düzenli olarak sigara içtiğini belirten ve bekar olan bireylerin depresyon ve stres düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, aşıya güvendiğini belirten ve düzenli olarak spor yapan hastalarında anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerinin daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Bu sonuçlar ile pandemilerde hastaların ruh sağlığını iyileştirmek için dikkate alınması gereken bazı öncül faktörler ortaya konulmuştur.
