Purpose The aim of the present study is to determine the relationship between loneliness and depression felt by adolescents during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Design and Methods The study sample consisted of 423 adolescents who volunteered to participate in the study. All participants had internet access and the cognitive ability to express themselves. The participants filled out the Google Documents form that included the “Socio‐demographic Data Form,” “Children's Depression Inventory,” and “Short‐form UCLA Loneliness Scale” to collect data. Findings It was determined that the depression inventory total mean score of the adolescents participating in the study was 55.15 ± 2.88 (high) and the loneliness scale total mean score was 16.43 ± 4.93 (medium). A statistically positive high correlation was found between the depression total mean scores and the loneliness total mean scores of the adolescents ( p < 0.05). As the loneliness levels of the adolescents increased, their depression levels increased. Practice Implications Adolescents were more likely to experience mental disorders such as loneliness and depression during and after the pandemic. Governments should focus on the mental health of adolescents in the management of COVID‐19. Clinical services should plan and implement prevention activities, support programs, and services to replace early diagnosis and intervention.
Bu çalışma terör gazilerinin sosyo-demografik özellikleri, depresyon ve yaşam doyumu düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada nicel araştırma tasarımından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini terörle mücadelede aktif olarak rol alarak eve dönüş yapmış 225 terör gazisi oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanmış yarı-yapılandırılmış sosyo-demografik form, Diener ve arkadaşları (1985) tarafından geliştirilmiş yaşam doyumu ölçeği ve Beck ve arkadaşları (1961) tarafından geliştirilmiş Beck depresyon ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları incelendiğinde katılımcıların terörle mücadelede aktif olarak görev aldıkları süre ortalaması 5,27 yıl olarak bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların %61.3'ü arkadaşının şehit oluşuna; %82.2'si arkadaşının yaralanmasına tanıklık etmiştir. Terör gazilerinin %91.1'i rüyalarında silahlı çatışmayı gördüğünü, %66.7'si ruh sağlığının terörle mücadeleden olumsuz yönde etkilendiğini belirtmiştir. Katılımcıların depresyon ile yaşam doyumu düzeyleri arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Araştırma bulgularının etkili orduda sosyal hizmet uygulamalarına önemli katkılar sağlayacağı değerlendirilmektedir.
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between life satisfaction and hopelessness of disabled veterans and to determine whether the dimensions of hopelessness in explaining their life satisfaction in terms of socio-demographic and professional variables of disabled veterans have a meaningful effect. Satisfaction with Life (5 items) and Beck Hopelessness (20 items) were used as scales in this study. The sample of this study is 159 disabled veterans among the disabled veterans living in Turkey. All of the disabled veterans in this study are male and their mean age is 40. 79 ± 6.84 (mean ± standard deviation). Considering correlation between all sub-scales of Beck Hopelessness, there was a significant correlation between feelings and expectations about the future domain and loss of motivation domain and also there was strong correlation with hope domain. The findings illustrate that there is a significant relationship between life satisfaction and hopelessness in disabled veterans.
