Özet
This study aimed to examine the stress factors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the social isolation due to this pandemic in women and reveal whether various variables created a difference in stress responses. The study group consisted of 1515 female individuals aged between 18-65 years who voluntarily accepted to participate in the study. The research data were collected using the \"Personal Information Form\" prepared by the researchers, the \"Questionnaire\" including questions about the COVID-19 pandemic process, and the \"Resilience Scale\" adapted to Turkish by Doğan (2015). According to the study results, the pandemic process increased the anxiety level of 82.4% of women, adversely affected the future expectations of 80.9%, and increased the level of unhappiness in 77.5%. The other results of the study show that 63.8% of women felt lonely during this process, anger levels increased in 64.2%, sleep patterns were disturbed in 73.3%, 81.3% of women started to spend more time with their family, and 66.9% felt psychologically weak. Of the participants, 60.3% experienced more domestic conflicts in this process, 65.2% needed more social support, 66.8% needed more psychological support, 70.1% needed more economic support, and 91.4% were more worried about their family members. As a result of the study, it was also revealed that the resilience of the female participants increased with an increase in their age. Concerning educational status, the Resilience Scale mean scores of the women who were high school graduates were higher than those of secondary school, university graduates, and individuals with graduate degrees. The Resilience Scale mean scores of women who indicated their income as higher than their expenses, who lost their jobs due to the pandemic and who had no children were lower. In order to carry out this study, Ethics Committee permission was obtained with the letter dated 10/12/2020 and numbered 2020/13 of Kırıkkale University Non-Interventional Research Ethics Committee.
