Abstract

BACKGROUND When faced with a health crisis, most people tend to seek solutions through modern or traditional medicine. However, there is a group of people who tend to take a fatalistic approach to health crises and tend not to do what is necessary. When such approaches are exhibited in disadvantaged groups, there may be a chain reaction resulting in much more important problems. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine whether the fatalistic approach is realized during a health crisis period in people 65 years and older, pregnant women, people with chronic diseases, and healthcare workers who are considered disadvantaged. Researchers also examined whether there were sociodemographic characteristics that made a difference in these attitudes among those who were determined to have a fatalistic approach. METHODS The research was conducted with a quantitative method. The sample calculation was performed and it was decided to reach 196 people. A self-report scale was used for fatalism. RESULTS It was determined that the participants had a moderate level of fatalism. It was seen that there was a difference between the groups in terms of fatalistic behavior. It was observed that women, divorced people, people without alcohol and smoking habits, people who live alone, and people who think their health is poor tend to behave more fatalistic. CONCLUSION The tendency to show fatalistic behavior was found to be higher in the group of 65 years and older. Sociodemographic characteristics are associated with fatalistic behavior.
宿命论在健康危机中的影响:以 COVID-19 为例。
背景面对健康危机,大多数人倾向于通过现代或传统医学寻求解决方案。然而,也有一部分人往往对健康危机采取宿命论的态度,往往不做必要的事情。本研究旨在确定 65 岁及以上人群、孕妇、慢性病患者和医护人员在健康危机期间是否会采取宿命论的态度。研究人员还考察了社会人口学特征是否会对那些被确定为宿命论者的人的态度产生影响。研究人员对样本进行了计算,最终确定研究对象为 196 人。结果发现,参与者的宿命论程度适中。结果表明,宿命论行为在不同群体之间存在差异。观察发现,女性、离异者、无酗酒和吸烟习惯者、独居者以及认为自己健康状况差的人倾向于表现出更多的宿命论行为。社会人口特征与宿命行为有关。
