The relationship of invidiuals' Covid-19 burnout with their perceived risk of Covid-19, their assumptions about the world and the parental styles

The main purpose of the current study is to examine the relationship between individuals' burnout about COVID-19 and their perceived risk of COVID-19, their assumptions about the world (WAS), and perceived parenting styles. At the same time, examining the socio-demographic variables on Covid-19 burnout and the differentiation of the variables on Covid-19 constitute the other purpose of the research. The sample group of the study carried out in this direction consists of 368 individuals between the ages of 18-65. The data collection tools of the study were sequentially presented to the participants in the form of Sociodemographic Information Form, COVID-19 Burnout Scale (COVID-19-BS), Perceived COVID-19 Risk Scale (CPRS), World Assumptions Scale (WAS) and Young Parenting Inventory (YPI). With the aim of testing the hypotheses of the study, a t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied to see whether the level of COVID-19 burnout differs according to sociodemographic characteristics and Covid-19 variables. Then, the level of COVID-19 burnout; the relationship between the perceived COVID-19 risk, assumptions about the world, and the perceived parenting styles are examined by Pearson correlation analysis. Finally, sociodemographic variables, COVID-19 related variables, the perceived risk of COVID-19, assumptions about the world, and the perceived parenting styles are included in the hierarchical regression analysis. As a result of the statistical analysis, it was seen that the sociodemographic variables of being female, not having children, low education level and economic status are lower or higher than middle-lower and middle-upper and those living with their parents had higher COVID-19 burnout levels. On the other hand, it was found that those who have a positive diagnosis from the variables related to Covid-19, experience physical/social isolation, work more intensively at the workplace and before the pandemic, have lost a loved someone due to Covid-19 and relatives in the risk group have higher rates of Covid-19 burnout. In addition, when the correlation analyzes are examined: it was found that the negative relationship between COVID-19 burnout and age, the positive relationship between the perceived COVID-19 risk and cognitive/emotional sub-dimensions, the negative relationships between the well-being, justice, luck and self-worth sub-dimensions of WAS, and the total WAS score, the positive relationship with perceived maternal parenting style, the positively significant relationships with perceived father parenting style and the sub-dimensions of belittling/criticizing, emotionally depriving, exploitative/abusive, and pessimistic/worried. Finally, it was seen that all variables included in the hierarchical regression analysis significantly explained 40.8% of the total variance [F= 8.690, p<.001]. The current findings are discussed in the light of the relevant literature, and the limitations of the study and suggestions are included for future studies.
