Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the stress experienced by parents during the pandemic and their cyberchondria. The research was carried out in a descriptive and cross-sectional manner.

Design/methodology/approach

The sample of the research: living in Turkey and has created 432 parents with at least one child between the ages of 6 and 15. Participant information form, parental stress scale and cyberchondria scale were used in the study. Data were collected through online surveys between July 1, 2020, and August 31, 2020.

Findings

In the study, when the scores obtained from the Parental Stress Scale and the Cyberchondria Scale were compared with the demographic characteristics, a significant difference was found between gender, age, marital status, education level, economic status, number of children and presence of chronic diseases (p < 0.05). It was determined that there is a significant difference between the responses of the parents regarding the pandemic process and the Parental Stress Scale and the Cyberchondria Scale (p < 0.05). A positive significant correlation was found between the Parental Stress Scale and the total and subdimensions of the Cyberchondria Scale (p < 0.05).

Research limitations/implications

The research was carried out with only parents with children between the ages of 6 and 15, but it reveals the stress and cyberchondria of the parents during the pandemic.

Originality/value

The results obtained reflect the factors affecting the stress and cyberchondria levels experienced by parents during the pandemic process. Also, as the stress of the parent's increases, it has seen that the level of cyberchondria increases in parallel.

大流行过程中父母所经历的压力与网络软骨的关系

目的

本文的目的是研究父母在大流行期间所经历的压力与他们的网络软骨之间的关系。该研究以描述性和横断面的方式进行。

设计/方法/方法

研究样本：居住在土耳其，并创建了 432 名父母，其中至少有一名 6 至 15 岁的孩子。研究中使用了参与者信息表、父母压力量表和网络软骨量表。数据是通过 2020 年 7 月 1 日至 2020 年 8 月 31 日期间的在线调查收集的。

发现

在研究中，将父母压力量表和网络软骨量表获得的分数与人口学特征进行比较时，发现性别、年龄、婚姻状况、教育水平、经济状况、子女数量和慢性病的存在有显着差异。疾病 ( p < 0.05)。确定父母对大流行过程的反应与父母压力量表和网络软骨量表之间存在显着差异（p <0.05）。父母压力量表与网络软骨量表的总维度和子维度之间存在显着正相关（p < 0.05）。

研究限制/影响

该研究仅针对有 6 至 15 岁儿童的父母进行，但它揭示了大流行期间父母的压力和网络软骨症。

原创性/价值

获得的结果反映了影响父母在大流行过程中所经历的压力和网络软骨水平的因素。此外，随着父母压力的增加，网络软骨的水平也在同步增加。
