dc.description.abstractThe Problem of the Research: What are the university students’ anxiety levels caused by COVID-19 and what are the effects of this anxiety on the psychology of the students and their opinions about COVID-19? The Aim of the Study: The aim of the study is to reveal the anxiety levels and impact of COVID-19 on the students who have to continue their university education far away from their campuses through online education. Moreover, it also sheds light on the practices intended for the students to be applied for university education after the pandemic. Method: 493 students studying in a foundation university were included in the research. Online surveys were made to the students who were determined with convenience sampling method. The data collection tool consists of two parts. The first part includes questions directed to the demographic features of the participants and their opinions about COVID-19. Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) Scale developed by Spitzer et al. in 2006 and adopted to Turkish by Konkan et al. in 2003 was used in the second part. SPSS 25 program is used for the analysis of the data. Frequency, mean, standard deviation, independent samples t-test, and variance analysis were used among the descriptive statistical methods. Analyzes were made at 95% confidence interval (p < 0.05). Findings: The anxiety levels of the university students were determined to be high as a result of the research. This means there is a significant relation between COVID-19 and the anxiety levels of the university students. It is also determined that the average scores of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale differ according to the gender variable. It is found that the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale scores of the female participants are higher than male participants. As a result, it is determined that the anxiety levels of university students have increased with COVID-19.
