- Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the relationship between the fear of COVID-19 in the elderly aged 65 years and over and their levels of adaptation to the "new normal." This descriptive cross-sectional study was completed with 623 elderly individuals. It was determined that the individuals who adapted well to the "new normal" had high levels of adaptation to old age, while their levels of fear of COVID-19 were slightly above average (p < 0.01). Elderly individuals have tried to adapt to the "new normal" while also experiencing fear of COVID-19. In order to minimize the fear experienced by the elderly during COVID-19, adequate support and psychological support should be provided.
