Abstract

Giriş: COVID-19 pandemisi bireylerin yaşamında çeşitli etkilere neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde evde kalmak zorunda kalan kişilerin fiziksel aktivite ve ruh sağlık düzeylerini belirlemek; fiziksel aktivite ile ruh sağlığı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada tanımlayıcı ilişkisel araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırma örneklemi 180 katılımcıdan oluşmaktadır. Veri toplamada 'Kişisel Bilgi Formu', 'Genel Sağlık Anketi (GHQ-12)' ve 'Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi (IPAQ)' kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istattistikler, ki-kare, mann whitney U test, one way anova, bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve pearson korelasyon analizi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Bulgular, COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğunun, özellikle kadınların, fiziksel olarak hareketsiz olduğunu göstermiştir. Katılımcıların fiziksel aktivite ve GHQ-12 skoru arasında negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r = -0.872, p = 0.0001). Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisinde, katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğunun fiziksel aktivite düzeyi olumsuz etkilenmiştir.
