The aim of this study was to identify nursing students' fears and emotions and to concretise the metaphors they used to describe their feelings towards the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study was conducted with nursing students at a foundation university between December 2021 and February 2022 using a sequential mixed methods research design. In the quantitative part of the study, 323 nursing students answered the 'Positive and Negative Emotion Scale' and the 'COVID-19 Fear Scale'. In the qualitative part, students were asked to metaphorise COVID-19 with a colour and 21 in-depth interviews were conducted on the reasons for choosing this colour.
The average age of the students participating in the study was 21.41 ± 1.97 years and 78% of them were female. It was observed that 15.8 of the students had previously tested positive for COVID-19. Most of the participants (98.5%) were vaccinated against COVID-19 and 31.9% had a relative who died due to COVID-19. When the participants were asked which colour they compared COVID-19 to, it was observed that more than half of them chose red (51.4%) among bright colours and 13% chose black among dark colours. In this study, it was determined that students who chose dark colours to describe COVID-19 had higher COVID-19 Fear and Negative Emotion Scale scores. In in-depth interviews, it was observed that students who chose dark colours were more deeply affected by the COVID-19 process, while students who chose light colours associated this period with negative emotions.
In this study, it was observed that nursing students' feelings and thoughts about the COVID-19 period in line with their experiences affect the choice of colour in metaphorisation.
本研究旨在识别护理专业学生的恐惧和情绪，并明确他们用于描述对新冠疫情感受的隐喻。
本研究于2021年12月至2022年2月在一所基础大学对护理专业学生进行，采用序列混合方法研究设计。在研究的定量部分，323名护理专业学生回答了“积极和消极情绪量表”以及“新冠恐惧量表”。在定性部分，要求学生用一种颜色来隐喻新冠疫情，并就选择该颜色的原因进行了21次深入访谈。
参与研究的学生平均年龄为21.41±1.97岁，其中78%为女性。观察到15.8%的学生此前新冠病毒检测呈阳性。大多数参与者（98.5%）接种了新冠疫苗，31.9%有亲属死于新冠疫情。当询问参与者将新冠疫情比作哪种颜色时，观察到超过一半的人在亮色中选择了红色（51.4%），在暗色中13%选择了黑色。在本研究中，确定选择深色来描述新冠疫情的学生在新冠恐惧和消极情绪量表上得分更高。在深入访谈中，观察到选择深色的学生受新冠疫情过程的影响更深，而选择浅色的学生将这段时期与消极情绪联系在一起。
在本研究中，观察到护理专业学生对新冠疫情期间的感受和想法与其经历相符，这影响了隐喻中颜色的选择。
