Abstract
Objective: This study was aimed to examine the correlation between health perception and psychological resilience in terms of some variables in the case of the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic. Material and Methods: The research is cross-sectional. The data of the research were collected through digital software. Ethical permission was obtained before the study, and the study was carried out in accordance with the Helsinki Principles. The data of the research were collected between 12-April and 30 April 2020. In data collection, Individual Information Form, the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and the Perception of Health Scale (PHS) were used. Results: The participants had a mean age of 33.24±10.95 years, with 35.7% males. Mean scores were 52.68±6.80 for PHS and 20.11±4.24 for BRS. It has been observed that the variables of perceiving one's level of income as sufficient and perceiving one's health as perfect created differences in terms of both psychological resilience and perception of health scores. In the study, it was found that the perceptions of health of the participants increased in parallel with their psychological resilience (p<0.05). Conclusion: The participants were found to have moderate levels of health perception and psychological resilience. Their measures against the epidemic and certain socio-demographic characteristics led to differences in their psychological resilience and health perceptions. Knowing the psychological resilience and health perceptions of individuals can improve the quality of treatment and care.
