ÖZET
 Amaç: Araştırma, pandemi sürecinde üniversite öğrencilerinin uzaktan eğitime yönelik görüşleri ile koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] fobisi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipte yapılan araştırma, Başkent Üniversitesi Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu'nda öğrenim gören 434 öğrenci ile Şubat 2021 tarihinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri, demografik veriler ve uzaktan eğitime ilişkin bilgilerden oluşan tanımlayıcı bilgi formu ve COVID-19 Fobisi Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 22.0 programı kullanılmış, sayı-yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, Mann-Whitney U ve Kruskal-Wallis H testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın yürütülmesi için gerekli izinler ve etik onay alınmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %59,2'sinin uzaktan eğitimden memnun olduğu, %74,0'ının pandemi döneminde akademisyenlerin eğitiminden memnun olduğu, %58,5'inin uygulama derslerinin az yapılmasının öğrenmelerini olumsuz etkilediğini belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin COVID-19 fobisi ölçeği puan ortalaması 56,27±18,13 olarak belirlenmiştir. Kadınların, düşük sosyoekonomik düzeye sahip olanların ve evden çıkmayanların COVID- 19 fobisinin yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,05). COVID-19 fobisi yüksek olan öğrencilerin uzaktan eğitim, uzaktan eğitimle öğrenme memnuniyetinin arttığı, pandemi sürecinde yüz yüze eğitim almayı isteme oranının azaldığı tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin COVID-19 fobisinin yüksek olması uzaktan eğitim sürecindeki memnuniyeti artırdığı görülmektedir. Pandemi döneminde yüz yüze eğitim sürecine geçildiğinde COVID-19 fobisi yüksek olan öğrencilerin tespit edilerek sürecin yönetilebilirliğine yönelik bilgilendirici ve bilinçlendirici faaliyetlerde bulunulması, baş etme becerilerinin kazandırılması önerilir.
