Journal Title: Artuklu International Journal of Health Sciences - Year 2022, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: The decision to conduct distance education in universities due to the pandemic has caused many institutions to be unable to conduct clinical practice. It is thought that this situation may cause anxiety among students in related fields. Aim: This research was conducted to examine the effect of distance education on the anxiety level of students studying in applied fields. Methods: Among 728 students who are actively enrolled in a private university, 296 students voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. This is a descriptive study. Data were collected by using a questionnaire form which was created to determine the sociodemographic characteristics of the students and to evaluate their views on distance education during the pandemic process and by using Trait Anxiety Scale. SPSS 25.00 package program was used for data analysis. Results: 83.4% of the participants were female, 55.4% were nursing students, and 29.1% were second-year students. 56.1% of participants stated that they were worried because they could not go to clinical practice. It was determined that 87.2% of the participants did not do clinical practice during the pandemic process, those who could not do clinical practice/internship (56.1%) stated that they were anxious, and the Trait Anxiety Scale average score of the students who did not do clinical practice during the pandemic was significantly higher than those who did (p=0.049). Conclusion: As a result of this research, it was determined that distance education caused anxiety in students. Many studies conducted during the pandemic have proven that students' anxiety levels have increased. It was recommended that students get support from their family and friends, practice breathing exercises, and resort to clinical treatment if anxiety cannot be managed with natural methods.
