The state of anxiety seen during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic needs to be evaluated and controlled. Studies indicate that high anxiety reduces students' academic performance. The productivity and scientific studies of academicians have also been negatively affected during the pandemic. Psychological conditions of students and academicians need to be improved as high anxiety levels can affect academic achievement. In this study, the effects on psychological well-being (PWB) of COVID-19 anxiety levels of students and academicians in pharmacy schools in Türkiye have been determined.
This research was quantitative. As a data collection tool in the research, a questionnaire consisting of three parts was applied to the academic staff and students of pharmacy schools. After the first part of the questionnaire that aimed to determine general information, there were questions about the pandemic anxiety (PA) and the PWB scales. The universe of the study consists of 1.563 academic staff working in pharmacy schools and 17.101 students in these faculties. The level of significance (α) was determined as 0.05 in the analysis made in the study.
Two hundred fortyseven academicians and 1.698 students participated in the research. Data was analyzed by SPSS ver. 25.0 program. 79% of the academic staff participating in the study were women, while 21% were men; for students, it was 77% and 23%, respectively. Female academicians found to have significantly higher (=0.001) PA level than males. Female students had significantly higher levels of PA (=0.000) and PWB (=0.027) compared to male students.
In the study, PA of academicians was generally lower than students, while PWB was higher. When the relationship between PA and PWB was examined, the relationship between PA and PWB of the academicians was very low and positive; for the students, it was found to be very low and negative.
需要对2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行期间出现的焦虑状况进行评估和控制。研究表明,高度焦虑会降低学生的学业成绩。在大流行期间,院士的生产力和科学研究也受到了负面影响。由于高度焦虑会影响学业成绩,因此需要改善学生和院士的心理状况。在本研究中,确定了土耳其药学院学生和院士的COVID-19焦虑水平对心理健康(PWB)的影响。
本研究为定量研究。作为研究中的数据收集工具,向药学院的学术人员和学生发放了一份由三部分组成的问卷。在旨在确定一般信息的问卷第一部分之后,有关于大流行焦虑(PA)和PWB量表的问题。研究总体包括在药学院工作的1563名学术人员和这些院系的17101名学生。在研究分析中,显著性水平(α)确定为0.05。
247名院士和1698名学生参与了研究。数据通过SPSS 25.0版程序进行分析。参与研究的学术人员中79%为女性,21%为男性;学生分别为77%和23%。发现女院士的PA水平显著高于男性(=0.001)。与男学生相比,女学生的PA(=0.000)和PWB(=0.027)水平显著更高。
在该研究中,院士的PA总体低于学生,而PWB则更高。当研究PA与PWB之间的关系时,发现院士的PA与PWB之间的关系非常低且呈正相关;对于学生而言,发现其关系非常低且呈负相关。
