Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] korkusunun kadınlarda yorgunluk ve kişisel iyi oluş durumu ile ilişkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma tanımlayıcı, ilişki arayıcı türdedir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, Türkiye'de yaşayan 18-65 yaş aralığında olan ve araştırmaya katılmaya onam veren 330 kadın oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verileri Kişisel Bilgi Formu, COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği, Yorgunluk Şiddet Ölçeği ve Kişisel İyi Oluş İndeksi-Yetişkin Formu kullanılarak toplanmış olup, veri toplama formları çevrim içi ortamda, sosyal medya platformları aracılığıyla kadınlara gönderilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda, kadınların dengeli bir kişisel iyi oluş düzeylerine (68,04±14,22) sahip oldukları ancak yorgun oldukları (4,22±1,47) ve ortalamanın üzerinde COVID-19 korkusu (18,41±6,45) yaşadıkları saptanmıştır. COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği toplam puanları ile kişisel iyi oluş indeksi toplam puanları arasında negatif yönde anlamlı (p=0,019), COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği toplam puanları ile yorgunluk şiddeti toplam puanları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı (p=0,001), yorgunluk düzeyleri ile kişisel iyi oluş indeksi ortalama puanları arasında negatif yönde anlamlı (p=0,032) bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgular kadınların pandemi sürecinden olumsuz etkilendiklerini göstermektedir. Kadınların kronik hastalığının olması, gelir durumunun düşük olması ve çocuk sahibi olması, COVID-19 korkusunu artırmaktadır. Ayrıca COVID-19 korku seviyesi arttıkça, yorgunluk semptomları yaşayan kadınların kişisel iyilik hâlinin de olumsuz etkilendiği belirlenmiştir. Bu nedenle özellikle kadınların pandemi kaynaklı yaşayabilecekleri olumsuzlukları azaltmak için toplumsal ve sosyal farkındalığın artırılması gerekmektedir.

Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the relationship of fear of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) on fatigue and personal well-being in women. Material and Methods: The research is descriptive and relationship-seeking. The sample of the research consisted of 330 women aged between 18-65 years living in Turkey who gave consent to participate in the research. Research data were collected using Personal Information Form, COVID-19 Fear Scale, Fatigue Violence Scale and Personal Well-Being Index-Adult Form, and data collection forms were sent to women online and via social media platforms. Results: In our study, it was concluded that women have a balanced level of personal well-being (68.04±14.22), but they can be evaluated as tired (4.22±1.47) and have a higher than average fear of COVID-19 (18.41±6.45). Negatively significant (p=0.019) between COVID-19 fear scale total scores and personal wellbeing index total scores, positively significant between COVID-19 Fear Scale total scores and fatigue severity total scores (p=0.001), fatigue levels and personal well-being index total scores. It was found that there was a negative significant (p=0.032) relationship between the mean scores of the well-being index. Conclusion: The findings show that women are adversely affected by the pandemic process. The fact that women have chronic diseases, low income and having children increase the fear of COVID-19. In addition, as the level of fear of COVID-19 increased, it was determined that the personal well-being of women who experienced fatigue symptoms was negatively affected. For this reason, it is necessary to raise social and social awareness in order to reduce the negative effects that women may experience due to the pandemic.
