ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışmada, pandemi döneminde klinik uygulamaya çıkan son sınıf hemşirelik öğrencilerinin yaşadıkları koronavirüs korkusu ile bakım davranışları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma, tanımlayıcı-ilişki arayıcı tipte yapılmıştır. Araştırma, 15.02.2021-15.03.2021 tarihleri arasında, genel uygulama dersi kapsamında en az 1 yarıyıl klinik uygulama yapan, araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 70 hemşirelik son sınıf öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya ilişkin veriler; sosyodemografik soru formu, 'Koronavirüs Korkusu Ölçeği' ve 'Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği-24' ile çevrim içi ortamda e-posta/mesaj yolu ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler, SPSS 21 paket programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiş, parametrik ve nonparemetrik testler kullanılmıştır. Ölçekler arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesinde Spearman korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin Koronavirüs Korkusu Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamaları 17,34±5,77'dir. Öğrencilerin Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği-24 toplam puan ortalamaları 5,15±0,62 olup, güvence alt boyutundan 5,23±0,65, bilgi ve beceri alt boyutundan 5,06±0,74, saygılı olma alt boyutundan 5,18±0,69, bağlılık alt boyutundan 5,05±0,69 puan aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Koronavirüs Korkusu Ölçeği ile Bakım Davranışları Ölçeği-24 toplam ve alt boyut puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin koronavirüs korku düzeyinin orta düzeyde olduğu ve bu durumun bakım davranışlarını etkilemediği bulunmuştur. Bu süreçte, öğrencilerin bakım davranışlarına ilişkin farkındalık kazanmaları, pandemi döneminde klinik uygulama ortamlarının desteklenmesi, klinikte yer alan hemşirelik öğrencilerinin bakım davranışlarının nasıl etkilendiğine yönelik farklı örneklem gruplarında ve farklı yöntemlerle çalışmalar yapılarak, sorunların ortaya çıkarılması, tanımlanması, çözüme ilişkin baş etme stratejilerinin eğitim programları içerisine entegre edilmesi önerilmektedir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between the fear of coronavirus and care behaviors experienced by senior nursing students who had clinical practice during the pandemic period. Material and Methods: The study was performed as descriptive and correlational. The research was carried out with 70 senior nursing students who volunteered to participate in the study and had clinical practice for at least one semester within the scope of the general practice course between 15.02.2021 and 15.03.2021. The data related to the study were collected online using a socio-demographic questionnaire, 'Coronavirus Fear Scale', and 'Care Behaviors Scale24' via e-mail/message. The data obtained in the study were analyzed using the SPSS 21 package program, and parametric and non-paremetric tests were used. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the scales. Results: The students' mean score on the Coronavirus Fear Scale was 17.34±5.77. The mean of total score of Students' Caring Behaviors Scale-24 was 5.15±0.62, and it was determined that they got 5.23±0.65 points from the assurance sub-dimension, 5.06±0.74 points from the knowledge and skills subdimension, 5.18±0.69 points from the respect sub-dimension, and 5.05±0,69 points from the commitment sub-dimension. A statistically significant relationship was not found between the Coronavirus Fear Scale and the Care Behaviors Scale-24 total and subgroup scores. Conclusion: In our study, it was found that nursing students had a moderate level of COVID-19 fear and this did not affect their care behavior. In this process, it is necessary for students to obtain awareness about their care behaviours, to support clinical practice environments during the pandemic, to reveal and define the problems and integrate the coping strategies related to the solution into the education programs. And also it is recommended to conduct studies in different sample groups and with different methods on how the care behaviours of nursing students in the clinic.
