This study aims to investigate the effect of the COVID‐19 pandemic on university students and their families. A total of 274 students participated in this study. A questionnaire is developed regarding the physical, psychological, and social effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic, and sent to the students via e‐mail. According to the results of the study, students who contracted COVID‐19 experienced significantly higher musculoskeletal pain (MSP) ( p = 0.01). Students with increased propensity for harmful habits experienced significantly more MSP ( p = 0.01). Anxiety levels of students who experienced MSP were significantly higher ( p = 0.01). Students living in an inadequate home environment were significantly more prone to harmful habits ( p = 0.01). The anxiety level of the students who experienced domestic unrest was high ( p = 0.02). The home environment of students with economic difficulties was significantly inadequate ( p = 0.01). The anxiety levels of the students whose participation in sports and art activities decreased, were high ( p = 0.04). The home environment of the students who reported that they were positively affected by distance education was significantly inadequate ( p = 0.03). The authors suggest that physiotherapy, nutrition and psychological assistance services should be provided to students, scholarship opportunities and extracurricular activities (art and sports activities) should be increased.
Tarih boyunca yaşanmış olan salgın hastalık ve afet durumları insanoğlunda derin etkiler bırakmıştır. Çoğu zaman beklenmedik zamanlarda gerçekleşen bu olaylar toplumun kırılgan kesimlerini daima daha fazla etkilemektedir. Günümüzde dezavantajlı birey olarak ifade edilmeye başlanan, toplumda genel bir faydadan mahrum olan kesimi ifade eden bu bireyler salgın hastalık ve afet gibi durumlardan daha fazla etkilenmektedir. Üniversite öğrencileri de henüz ekonomik bağımsızlıklarını almamış ve çoğu zaman ilk kez ailelerinden ayrı kalan bir kesimi oluşturduklarından toplumun dezavantajlı bireyleri olarak kabul edilebilir. Bu çalışmada, son güncel verilere dayanarak, pandemi sürecinin üniversite öğrencilerindeki etkilerini incelenmiş ve pandemi sonrası dönemde, üniversitelerde değişecek olan sağlık ve sosyal hizmet ihtiyaçlarına yönelik öneriler sıralanmıştır.
