Outbreaks caused by environmental effects such as COVID-19, MERS, SARS, or Ebola cause problems such as fear, anxiety, loneliness, depression, and hopelessness for people with or without a high risk of illness. This study aims to determine the levels of hopelessness and anxiety experienced by nursing students during the COVID-19 outbreak. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with students of a state university. In the collection of the data, Descriptive Characteristics Form prepared by the researchers, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Test (GAD-7), and the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) were used. The mean GAD-7 score of the students participating in the study was 6.65 ± 5.03 and the mean BHS score was 6.11 ± 4.91. It was determined that the score of GAD-7 and BHS were a significant positive high relationship between them (p < 0.001). Anxiety and hopelessness levels were found to be statistically significantly higher for those whose sleep and eating patterns affected negatively due to the pandemic, those who feared the pandemic and its economic effects, and those who did not want to work in the hospital during the pandemic period. There was a relationship between anxiety and hopelessness levels of nursing students participating in the study.

由环境影响引起的疫情，例如 COVID-19、MERS、SARS 或埃博拉病毒，会给患病或未患病高风险的人带来恐惧、焦虑、孤独、抑郁和绝望等问题。本研究旨在确定护生在 COVID-19 爆发期间经历的绝望和焦虑程度。这项描述性横断面研究是针对一所州立大学的学生进行的。在收集数据时，使用了研究人员准备的描述性特征表、广泛性焦虑症测试（GAD-7）和贝克绝望量表（BHS）。参与研究的学生的平均 GAD-7 分数为 6.65 ± 5.03，平均 BHS 分数为 6.11 ± 4.91。确定GAD-7评分与BHS评分之间呈显着正高相关关系（p<0.001）。研究发现，对于那些睡眠和饮食习惯因大流行而受到负面影响的人、那些担心大流行及其经济影响的人以及那些在大流行期间不想在医院工作的人，焦虑和绝望程度显着更高。参与该研究的护生的焦虑程度和绝望程度之间存在相关性。
