Limitations and Conclusion
Although this study has reached a relatively high sample size from different strata of the society, inviting participants to the study in an electronic environment has prevented those who do not have this opportunity and those who do not read or speak Turkish. Therefore, the results may not reflect the general population. In addition, due to the cross-sectional type of research, its place in the determination of psychological effects in the long term is limited. This indicates that follow-up studies are needed to determine the long-term effects of the pandemic.
Despite all these limitations, our study provides important data in terms of determining the changes in the mental health of society and related factors. These outcomes can guide in determining and directing the measures to be taken now and in the future.
