    (Wiley-Hindawi, 2021) Cihan, Fatma G.; Gokgoz Durmaz, Funda
    Objective Social isolation and quarantine are unusual precautions taken all over the world against the COVID-19 pandemic. Some legal sanctions were made in order to protect vulnerable age groups such as the geriatric population, to make them stay at home. These measures, which are vital for pandemic management, have negative psychological effects on elderly individuals. The aim of this study was to reveal how pandemic process affected individuals over 65 years old psychosocially. Materials and methods Socio-demographic characteristics questionnaire, the COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S) and the Loneliness Scale for the Elderly individuals were used. Descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation analysis were performed for data analysis. Results A total of 130 elderly people (80 women, 50 men) were included in the study. Of the participants, 61.5% were women, 67.7% were married and mean age was 71.53 +/- 5.57 (min. 65-max. 87) years old. The C19P-S scores were significantly higher in women, singles, people living alone, those living in an apartment, and those with higher economic and educational level (P = .001). There was a strong positive correlation between age and total loneliness score. Loneliness scores were significantly higher in singles, those with higher levels of education and income, those who live alone, who was a relative of a healthcare worker, and whose relatives were infected with COVID-19 (P < .05). Conclusion Our study revealed that elderly individuals, who have to comply with social isolation rules, have increased fear and loneliness due to coronavirus. Considering this situation, timely psychological treatment and social support measures should be taken.
