In this study, we aimed to examine the factors affecting coping with the epidemic during the COVID-19 epidemic in elderly individuals. Participants were asked to complete the Coping with the Outbreak Scale (CwOS), the Spirituality Scale (SS), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). A total of 76 people (61.8% females) with a mean age of 73.1±8.2 were included in the study. Multivariate linear regression analysis using the backward method was used to examine the factors affecting coping with the epidemic. Multidimensional perceived social support, spirituality, and perceived economic status were significant predictors, and an increase of 1 unit in these variables resulted in an increase of 0.305, 0.410, and 4.426 units in the CwOS variable, respectively. It was observed that the variable dwelling place was also a significant predictor, and an increase of 1 unit in this variable caused a decrease of -4.362 units in the CwOS variable. The independent variables in the model explained 65.1% of the change in the CwOS score. Social support, spirituality, perceived income status and dwelling place are the factors that affect coping with the COVID-19 outbreak in elderly individuals. These factors are recommended to be considered by healthcare professionals dealing with elderly individuals.

Bu çalışmada; yaşlı bireylerde COVID-19 salgını sürecinde salgınla başa çıkmayı etkileyen faktörlerin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Katılımcılardan Salgınla Başa Çıkma Ölçeği (CwOS), Maneviyat Ölçeği (SS) ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği'ni (MSPSS) doldurmaları istendi. Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 73.1±8.2 olan, 76 kişi (%61.8 kadın) dahil edildi. Salgınla başa çıkmayı etkileyen faktörlerin incelenmesinde Backward yöntemini kullanan çok değişkenli doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanıldı. Çok boyutlu algılanan sosyal destek, maneviyat ve algılanan ekonomik durum anlamlı yordayıcılar olarak bulunmuş ve bu değişkenlerdeki 1 birimlik artış CwOS değişkeninde sırasıyla 0.305, 0.410 ve 4.426 birimlik artışa neden olmuştur. Yaşadığınız yer değişkeninin de anlamlı bir yordayıcı olduğu ve bu değişkendeki 1 birimlik artışın CwOS değişkeninde -4.362 birimlik azalmaya neden olduğu görülmüştür. Modeldeki bağımsız değişkenler, CwOS Puanındaki değişimin %65.1'ini açıklamaktadır. Sosyal destek, maneviyat, algılanan gelir durumu ve yaşanılan yer yaşlılarda COVID-19 salgını ile baş etmeyi etkileyen faktörlerdir. Bu faktörlerin yaşlı bireylerle ilgilenen sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından dikkate alınması önerilmektedir.
