The fear that people have as a result of Covid-19 has an effect on their daily lives. The goal of this research is to investigate the impact that being afraid of Covid-19 has on a person's level of stress, sadness, anxiety, overall well-being, and happiness with life. A technique called meta-analysis is used to do the analysis on the data that was obtained. In order to collect data, we searched the Scopus, Web of Science, and GoogleScholar databases. After doing so, we brought together 14 studies that were suitable. These investigations offered a total of thirty different correlation values. The CMA program is then used to do analyses on the data that was obtained. Analysis is done on the significance of heterogeneity as well as publication bias. The magnitude of the effect is calculated. It turns out that the data set is composed of disparate elements. The model of random effects is utilized. The investigation's findings indicate that the data set does not include any publishing bias. According to the results of this research, having a fear of Covid-19 can have a beneficial influence on stress, depression, and anxiety; however, having a fear of Covid-19 can have a negative effect on stress, which in turn can have a bad effect on life satisfaction and well-being.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Fear of Covid-19, stress, depression, anxiety, life satisfaction, well-being.

COVID-19 KORKUSUNUN STRES, DEPRESYON, KAYGI, YAŞAM TATMINI VE İYI OLMA HALINE ETKISI: BIR META-ANALIZ ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

İnsanların Covid-19 nedeniyle yaşadıkları korkunun günlük yaşamları üzerinde etkisi vardır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Covid-19'dan korkmanın bir kişinin stres, üzüntü, endişe, genel refah ve yaşamdan mutluluk düzeyi üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Elde edilen veriler üzerinde analiz yapmak için meta-analiz adı verilen bir teknik kullanılmıştır. Veri toplamak için Scopus, Web of Science ve GoogleScholar veri tabanlarını taradık. Bunu yaptıktan sonra, uygun olan 14 çalışmayı bir araya getirdik. Bu araştırmalar toplam otuz farklı korelasyon değeri sundu. Daha sonra elde edilen veriler üzerinde analizler yapmak için CMA programı kullanıldı. Heterojenliğin yanı sıra yayın yanlılığının önemi üzerine analizler yapılmıştır. Etkinin büyüklüğü hesaplanmıştır. Veri setinin birbirinden farklı unsurlardan oluştuğu ortaya çıkar. Rastgele etkiler modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları, veri setinin herhangi bir yayın yanlılığı içermediğini göstermektedir. Bu araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, Covid-19 korkusuna sahip olmak stres, depresyon ve anksiyete üzerinde faydalı bir etkiye sahip olabilir; ancak Covid-19 korkusuna sahip olmak stres üzerinde olumsuz bir etkiye sahip olabilir ve bu da yaşam memnuniyeti ve refah üzerinde kötü bir etkiye sahip olabilir.
