ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı; hemşirelik öğrencilerindeki koronavirüs korkusunun, öğrenme ve ders çalışma yaklaşımlarına etkisini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kantitatif ve kalitatif boyutları olan tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipteki bu araştırma, Türkiye'de bir üniversitenin hemşirelik fakültesinde 2020-2021 eğitim-öğretim yılı güz yarıyılında öğrenim gören gönüllü 287 öğrenciyle yürütüldü. Kantitatif veriler, ''hemşirelik öğrencileri bilgi formu'', ''COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği'' ve ''Öğrenme ve Ders Çalışma Yaklaşımları Envanteri'' ile toplandı. Kalitatif veriler için açık uçlu sorular soruldu, verilerin tümevarımsal içerik analizi yapıldı, ana temalar ve alt temalar oluşturuldu. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 21,20±3,13 yıl olup, %69,33'ü (n=199) kadındı. COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği puan ortalaması 17,82±6,52 olup, kadın öğrencilerin puan ortalamaları daha yüksektir. Öğrencilerin %94,42'si öğrenme süreçlerinin; %91,3'ü ders çalışma durumlarının etkilendiğini; %71,4'ü öğrenme gereksinimlerinin karşılanmadığını düşünmektedir. Öğrencilerin koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 korkusu ile stratejik yaklaşım puanı arasında düşük düzeyde pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırmanın kalitatif temaları ise uzaktan eğitimde hemşirelik öğrencisi olmak; klinik uygulamadan uzak kalmak ve koronavirüs kâbusu olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu araştırmada, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin koronavirüs korku düzeyinin yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır. Klinik uygulamaya ara verilmesi hemşirelik eğitimini, öğrencilerin ders çalışma ve öğrenme durumlarını olumsuz etkilemiştir. Var olan eğitim müfredatının ve mezun hemşire oryantasyon programlarının pandeminin getirdiği eksiklikleri kapatacak şekilde kapsayıcı olması önerilmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: To examine the effect of coronaphobia on learning and study approaches in nursing students. Material and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study with quantitative and qualitative dimensions was conducted with 287 volunteer nursing students in Türkiye in the fall semester of 2020-2021. Quantitative data were collected with ''nursing students information form'', ''COVID-19 Fear Scale'' and ''Learning and Studying Approaches Inventory''. For qualitative data, open-ended questions were asked and inductive content analysis of the data was made, and main themes and sub-themes were created. Results: The mean age was 21.20±3.13 years, and 69.33% were women (n=199). The mean score of the fear of COVID19 scale was 17.82±6.52, and the mean score of female students was higher. 94.42% of the students stated that their learning processes; 91.3% of them said that their study status was affected; 71.4% think that their learning needs are not met. It was determined that there was a low-level positive and significant relationship between the students' fear of coronavirus disease-2019 and their strategic approach score. The qualitative themes of the research were being a nursing student in distance education; Staying away from clinical practice and coronavirus has been determined as a nightmare. Conclusion: It was determined that the level of chorophobia of nursing students was high. Suspension of clinical practice negatively affected nursing education, study and learning. It is recommended that the existing education curriculum and graduate nurse orientation programs should be inclusive in a way that makes up for the shortcomings brought about by the pandemic.
