Özet:

The aim of this study is to investigate the tendency of patience of university education students during the corona virus epidemic process. The patience scale filled by 618 students studying at the university was evaluated. In statistical operations, t-test, Paired-t, one-way analysis of variance and LSD tests were used. Ondokuz Mayıs University Social and Humanities Ethics committee decision was taken for the study (decision dated 23.06.2020 and numbered 2020/409). There was no statistically significant difference between the patience tendencies of the university students according to the answers given by the pre-epidemic situation by gender (p> 0.05). While scoring the answers given by considering the order of the outbreak, there was a statistically significant difference in the interpersonal patience and total patience scores between patience tendencies (p <0.05). No significant difference was found in the case of long-term patience and short-term patience (p> 0.05). In this study, the pre-epidemic patience scores were significantly higher than the patience scores calculated after the epidemic (p <0.001). It was found that students' patience did not change significantly according to their watching TV and internet-related developments regarding Corona virus and their exposure to these news on social media (p> 0.05). The gender variable did not affect the patience tendency levels of university students much. It can be said that students are not affected by social media about news and information about Corona virus. Conclusion: A statistically significant difference was found in interpersonal patience and total patience scores of university students during the epidemic process by gender. It has been determined that university students' patience tendency scores decreased due to the corona virus outbreak. It is recommended that this study be performed on students who do or do not walk, run or physical activity during the epidemic.
