COVİD-19 Sürecinde Üniversite Öğrencilerinde COVİD-19 Anksiyetesi ve Ruminasyon

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to examine the contributions of rumination scores in predicting COVID-19 anxiety scores by determining the relationships between COVID-19 anxiety and rumination scores of university students. The research group of this study consists of a total of 417 students, 359 girls (86.1%) and 58 boys (13.9%), studying in different programs at Selçuk University. The relational screening model made with the descriptive method was used in the study. “COVID-19 Rumination Scale (C-19RS)”, “Coronavirus Anxiety Scale Short Form” and personal information form are data collection tools used in the study. Data collected for the research was analyzed via SPSS 25.00 package program. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between COVID-19 anxiety and rumination scores of university students, while regression analysis was performed to determine the contribution of rumination scores in predicting COVID-19 anxiety scores. As a result of the research, there was a moderately significant positive correlation between the COVID-19 anxiety scores of university students and their rumination scores. Rumination scores of university students were found to be a significant predictor of COVID-19 anxiety scores, explaining 31% of the variance in their COVID-19 anxiety scores. The research findings were discussed in light of the literature.
