- Abstract
It is stated that the COVID-19 epidemic affects mental health apart from its physical effects on people, and especially raises health-related concerns. This effect may differ between age groups. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of fear of disease on X, Y, Z generations in the COVID-19 epidemic. Among our data collection tools in our study; There is a sociodemographic data form consisting of 21 questions including sociodemographic, occupational, educational level, habits and taking precautions against diseases of individuals created by researchers, COVID-19 Fear Scale (C19F Scale) and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DAS-21). Of the 1131 participants in the study group, 62.2% (n:703) were female, with a mean age of 35.07±10.88 (18-74 years between values). When the relationship between the scores of the study group from the C19F Scale and the generations is examined it was observed that the Y generation experienced higher fear than the X and Z generation. In addition, it was determined that the Z and Y generation had higher depression than the X generation, the Y generation had higher anxiety than the Z generation, and the Z and Y generation had higher stress scores than the X generation. In the COVID-19 epidemic, the effects of fear of illness and feelings of depression and anxiety on X, Y, Z generations show differences. This situation can be useful in predicting the reaction and fear of individuals in different age groups of the society to epidemics and other catastrophic events that will develop in the future, and in the planning of preventive practices on behalf of public health.
