Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Covid-19 salgını Türkiye’de de yediden yetmişe herkesin hayatını etkiledi ve halen çeşitli boyutlarda etkilemeye devam etmektedir. Türkiye bağlamında Pandemi sürecinde üç konunun gündemi belirgin bir şekilde meşgul ettiği gözlemlenmektedir; (1) Covid-19 salgınına yönelik algılama ve anlamlandırma biçimleri, (2) Salgını kontrol etmeye yönelik tedbirleri ve bu tedbirlere yönelik tutumlar, (3) Enfekte olma riskiyle başa çıkma stratejileri. Bu üç konuyu din ve dindarlık bağlamında ele alan bu çalışma, betimsel bir araştırma olup, Türkiye genelinde online olarak gerçekleştirilen bir saha araştırmasının sonuçlarını içermektedir. Çalışmanın amacı sahadan elde edilen veriler kapsamında vatandaşlarımızın salgını nasıl anlamlandırdığını, hangi başa çıkma stratejilerini tercih ettiğini ve Koronavirüs salgınına ilişkin algı ve tutumlarını sosyo-demografik değişkenlere göre incelemektir. Elde ettiğimiz bulgular Covid-19 salgınının Türk halkının çoğu tarafından ciddiye alındığını, medyaya yansıyan “Türk geni” gibi spekülasyonlar kabul görmezken, komplo teorilerine itibar edildiğinı ve salgının dini, bilimsel ve siyasi olmak üzere üç ayrı kategoride anlamlandırıldığını göstermektedir. Camilerin toplu ibadetlere kapatılması dahil salgını kontrol etmeye yönelik tüm tedbirler halkın neredeyse tamamı tarafından olumlu karşılanmakta hatta katılımcıların bazıları tarafından bu tedbirler yeterli bulunmamaktadır. Başa çıkma stratejisi olarak dua, ibadet ve zikir gibi dini ritüellere yönelimin yüksek olduğu tespit edilen araştırmamızda ayrıca salgın sürecinde insanların manevi bir desteğe ihtiyaç duyduğu katılımcıların neredeyse tamamı tarafından ifade edildiği tespit edilmiştir.
As in the whole world, the Covid-19 epidemic has affected the lives of everyone from seven to seventy in Turkey and continues to affect it in various dimensions. In the context of Turkey, the agenda of three subjects in the Pandemic process is observed in a clear way: (1) the ways of detecting and understanding the Covid-19 epidemic, (2) the measures to control the infection and the attitudes towards these measures, (3) the strategies to deal with the risk of infection. This study, which deals with these three topics in the context of religion and religion, is an imaginary research and includes the results of a field research carried out online throughout Turkey. The aim of the study is to examine how our citizens understand the epidemic within the scope of the field data, which strategies they prefer to deal with and their perceptions and attitudes regarding the coronavirus epidemic according to socio-demographic variables. The findings we obtain show that the Covid-19 epidemic is taken seriously by the majority of the Turkish people, and speculations such as the "Turkish genius" reflect in the media are not accepted, and that it is recognised by the theories of conspiracy and that the epidemic is understood in three distinct categories: religious, scientific and political. All measures aimed at controlling the epidemic, including the closure of mosques for collective worship, are positively welcomed by almost the entire public, even by some of the participants, these measures are not sufficient. Our research found that the orientation to religious rituals such as prayer, worship and memorial as a strategy of departure was high, and also found that almost all participants in the epidemic process were expressed that people needed spiritual support.
As in the whole world, the Covid-19 outbreak has affected the lives of peopel from age seven to seventy in Turkey and is still affecting in various dimensions. In the context of Turkey, it has been observed that three issues are clearly on the public agenda during the pandemi; (1) perception and meaning of the Covid-19 outbreak, (2) measures to control the outbreak and attitudes towards these measures, (3) ways of coping with the risk of infection and pandemiz related restrictions. This descriptive study deals with these three issues in the context of religion and religiosity. The aim of the study is to examine how Turkish people perceive and make sense of Coronavirus outbreak and related developments and what coping strategies they prefer. We developed an online survey tool using Google Forms in line with the subject and purpose of the research. The survey form consists of 47 questions and 7 different sections. The survey items were mostly composed of Likert types and participants were asked to score each statement between 1 (Strongly Disagree) and 5 (Strongly Agree). The data was collected online from 8th to the 18th of April 2020. The collected data was then transferred to the SPSS package program in a computer environment and subjected to various analyses. Our findings show that the Covid-19 pandemic was taken seriously by most of the participant. A third (30%) of the respondents approve conspiracy theories that political or economic global manipulation is behind the Coronavirus outbreak, while nearly the same percentage (29%) believe that the outbreak is a manifestation of divine judgement. In the context of this question, just over a fifth (22%) of the respondents stated that Coronavirus does not have any special meaning other than that it is a natural epidemic. Finally, only 9% of the respondents clearly believe that the outbreak is a form of divine punishment. Regarding the ways of coping, almost all of the respondents (98.6%) follow coronavirus measures such as "stay at home," "hygiene," and "social distancing". The majority of the participants (86%) resort to prayer, worship and chanting to cope with fear, anxiety and stress caused by the Coronavirus, while a third (28.2%) of the participants cope by trying to be positive. Nearly all of the participants (88.2%) stated that people need “spiritual support” during difficult times and pandemics such as the Coronavirus.
