چکیده

مقدمه و هدف: موقعیت‌های مبهم و بحرانی مربوط به سلامت مانند پاندمی ویروس کرونا، انواع اضطراب در افراد را تولید کرد که می‌توان از اضطراب مرگ و در پی آن از عدم تحمل بلاتکلیفی نام برد. هدف مطالعه حاضر بررسی رابطه اضطراب کرونا با اضطراب مرگ و عدم تحمل بلاتکلیفی در دانشجویان پزشکی بود.
مواد و روش ها: این مطالعه توصیفی- هم‌بستگی با تکیه بر روش معادلات ساختاری بود که در سال تحصیلی 1401-1400 طراحی و اجرا شد. جامعه آماری شامل تمامی دانشجویان شاغل به تحصیل رشته پزشکی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی شهید بهشتی بود. بر این اساس، 350 دانشجو (با پایه تحصیلی کارورز یا کارآموز و دانشجویانی که به بخش و بر بالین بیماران می‌رفتند) به‌صورت نمونه‌گیری دردسترس انتخاب و وارد مطالعه شدند. شرکت‌کنندگان به مقیاس‌های اضطراب کرونا قبادیان قادی‌کلایی، اضطراب مرگ تمپلر و پرسشنامه عدم تحمل بلاتکلیفی فریستون و همکاران پاسخ دادند. داده‌ها از طریق SPSS-26 و AMOS-25 تحلیل شدند.
نتایج: نتایج نشان داد که اضطراب مرگ و عدم تحمل بلاتکلیفی بر اضطراب کرونا اثر مستقیم و معنادار دارند (001/0>P). به‌عبارت‌دیگر، شاخص‌های نیکویی برازش (892/0)، نیکویی برازش تعدیل‌‌شده (882/0) و برازش نرم‌شدۀ (629/0) به‌دست‌آمده نشان می‌دهند مدل معادلات ساختاری بین اضطراب کرونا با اضطراب مرگ و عدم تحمل بلاتکلیفی از برازش مناسبی برخوردار است.
نتیجه‌گیری: بر اساس نتایج به‌دست‌آمده به نظر می‌رسد دانشجویان پزشکی به دلیل تجربه کم شغلی، در مقابل شیوع ویروس کرونا دچار اضطراب شدید ‌شدند؛ بنابراین پیشنهاد می‌شود در مطالعات آینده پژوهشگران با استفاده از این ابزارها یا متغیرهای مشابه روی نمونه‌های دیگر مثل پرستاران و پزشکان باتجربه این مطالعه را انجام دهند.

چکیده [English]

Background and Objective: Ambiguous situations related to health such as the coronavirus pandemic produce various types of anxiety in people, which can be called death anxiety, after that, intolerance of uncertainty. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Coronavirus anxiety and death anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty in medical students.
Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive-correlational study based on the structural equation method, which was designed and implemented in the academic year 2021-2022. The statistical population of this research included all medical students of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. Accordingly, 350 students (with the educational background of interns or interns and students who went to the ward and at the patient's bedside) were selected as available sampling. The participants responded to Qabadian-Qadikalai's Corona Anxiety Scale, Templer's Death Anxiety Scale, and Freeston et al. Uncertainty Intolerance Questionnaire. The data were analyzed through SPSS-26 and AMOS-25.
Results: Death anxiety and uncertainty intolerance have a direct and significant effect on coronavirus anxiety (P<0.001). In other words, GFI (0.892) and AGFI (0.882) and NFI (0.629) obtained indicated that the structural equation model between coronavirus anxiety and death anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty has a good fit.
Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, it seems that medical students due to their lack of experience in their job, were very anxious in front of the spread of the coronavirus. Therefore, it is suggested that in future studies, researchers should conduct this study using these tools or similar variables on other samples such as nurses and experienced physicians.
