ABSTRACT
There are few international studies (Huang & Zhao, 2020;Li et al., 2020;Wang et al., 2020) on the mental health effects of Covid-19, and the number of these studies need to be increased in countries struggling with the epidemic (Ravi Philip Rajkumar, 2020). [...]current research aimed to examine the predictors of depression and anxiety during Covid-19 outbreak in Turkey and to see the influence of perceieved social support, awareness of healty life and emotion regulation on depression and anxiety. According to this;the predictors of depression were determined as gender, age, presence of someone in the risky group at home, anxiety about infecting with the virus, whether thinking a solution for the epidemic or not, health awareness, cognitive reappraisal strategy and social support. According to the results of the regression analysis for depression, the model was found to be significant and the predictors explained 30% of the depression (F(8,556) = 29.71,p < 0.001, R = 0.55, R2 = 0.30). According to the results of the regression analysis for anxiety, the model was found to be significant and the predictors explained 15% of the anxiety (F(4,562) = 23.59,p < 0.001, R = 0.38, R2 = 0.15). According to the results, the predictors of depression are gender, age, presence of someone from the risky group at home, anxiety about spreading the virus to the individual, whether thinking a solution for the epidemic or not, cognitive reappraisal and perceived social support.
