The Effect of Spirituality on Psychological Resilience in Women During the Pandemic Period.

Aim: It was carried out to evaluate the effect of spirituality and spirituality on psychosocial resilience in women during the pandemic period. Material and Method: It is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study sample consisted of 335 women who met the research criteria. The research was carried out between April 2022 and June 2022 in a province in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Türkiye. Personal data formula, Spirituality and Brief Psychological Resilience Scale were used to collect data. Results: The average score women received from the spirituality scale was 108.21±13.81, and the average score they received from the short endurance scale was 19.84±4.65. Spirituality levels were statistically significant between those who spent the COVID-19 disease process in the hospital and those who spent it at home (p<0.05). As women’s spirituality levels increased, their psychological resilience levels also increased (p<0.05). There is a positive relationship between women’s spirituality levels and psychological resilience. Conclusion: Women with high levels of spirituality have a higher potential to cope with challenges such as epidemics and pandemics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
