ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırma, bir üniversitede öğrenim gören hemşirelik öğrencilerinin psikolojik dayanıklılıklarıyla koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] korkusu arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapıldı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı türdeki bu araştırma, 317 kişinin katılımıyla Kıbrıs'ın kuzeyinde yer alan bir üniversitede ŞubatMart 2022 yılında yüz yüze ortamda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin toplanması, kişisel bilgi formu, COVID-19 Fobisi Ölçeği [COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S)] ve Yetişkinler İçin Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği ile yapıldı. Verilerin analizinde yüzdelik, ortalama, standart sapma ve Pearson korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın uygulanması öncesinde etik kurul izni katılımcıların yazılı bilgilendirilmiş onamı ve kullanılan ölçekler için izinleri e-mail yoluyla alınmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmada hemşirelik öğrencilerinin %30'unun COVID-19 tanısı aldığı, %47'sinin karantinada kaldığı, %48'inin ailesinde COVID-19 olduğu ve COVID-19 fobisinin orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin %32,8'inin pandemi sürecinde zorlanmasına rağmen büyük oranının (%88) psikolojik destek almadığı belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin psikolojik dayanıklık yapısal stil alt ölçeği puanı ile C19P-S psikolojik alt ölçeği puanı arasında pozitif yönde zayıf bir ilişki (r=0,113; p<0,05), yetişkinler için Psikolojik Dayanıklık Ölçeği aile uyumu alt ölçeği ile C19P-S psikolojik alt ölçeği arasında pozitif yönde zayıf bir ilişki (r=0,116; p<0,05) bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin Psikolojik Dayanıklık Ölçeği kendilik algısı alt ölçeği puanı ile C19P-S somatik alt ölçeği puanı arasında negatif yönde zayıf ilişki (r=-0,114; p<0,05) bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının iyi düzeyde olduğu ve COVID-19 korkularının orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiş, öğrencilerin psikolojik dayanıklılığıyla COVID-19 korkusu arasında zayıf negatif ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bu konuda yapılacak araştırmaların daha büyük örneklemlerde ve farklı bölümlerde eğitim gören öğrencilerle yapılarak karşılaştırılması önerilir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: Research was conducted to examine the relationship between the psychological resilience and coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) phobia of nursing students studying at a university. Material and Methods: This descriptive research was carried out in a face-to-face environment in February-March 2022 at a university in the North of Cyprus with the participation of 317 people Personal information form, COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S) and Resilience Scale for Adults (RAS) were used for data collection. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Prior to the implementation of the research, ethics committee approval, written informed consent of the participants, and permission for the scales used were obtained via e-mail. Results: The participants had a moderate level of COVID-19 phobia, 30% were diagnosed with COVID-19, 47% stayed in quarantine, and 48% had family members diagnosed with COVID-19 and COVID-19 fears were determined to be at a medium level. Although 32.8% of the students had difficulties during the pandemic process, it was determined that the majority (88%) did not receive psychological support. There is a weak positive relationship between the students' psychological resilience structural style subscale score and the C19P-S psychological subscale score (r=0.113; p<0.05), and a weak positive relationship between the PSD Family Harmony subscale and the C19P-S psychological subscale (r=0.116; p<0.05) was found. A weak negative correlation (r=-0.114; p<0.05) was found between the students' SelfPerception Subscale Score and the C19P-S somatic subscale score. Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that the psychological resilience of nursing students was at a good level and their fear of COVID-19 was at a moderate level, and a weak negative relationship was found between students' psychological resilience and fear of COVID-19. It is recommended that research on this subject be conducted on larger samples and with students studying in different departments and compared.
