20.500.12556/RUP-20245 THE RELIGIOUS AND MENTAL HEALTH DETERMINANTS OF THE COVID-19’S FEAR IN THE CEE COUNTRIES The research analyses the relationship between fear and religiosity, particularly focusing on religious habits and intrinsic religiosity in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. A total number of 2212 questionnaires have been collected in Romania, Poland, Slovenia and Hungary in 2021 on the non-vaccinated population. The questionnaire covers topics such as vaccination, religiosity and socio-demographics, and includes the DASS 21 psychological scale, which measures depression, anxiety and stress symptoms. Furthermore, the questionnaire incorporated a specific question regarding the fear of SARS-CoV-2 virus. The findings show that the intrinsic religiosity, age, stress, anxiety and exposure to the news from the traditional media or to the information coming from professional sources seem to increase the degree of fear during the pandemic context. The study yields significant implications for understanding the complex interplay of factors shaping the vaccination attitudes of this group, as well as how they obtain information. This may contribute to developing more effective communication channels for people with passive strategies for coping with fear and anxiety. The need to seek information in times of uncertainty and attitudes that indicate a higher level of intimate religiosity can be leveraged to build more effective coping strategies for unexpected external events or situations that cause fear and anxiety. This is important in light of the ongoing development of Central and Eastern European countries and their specific social and economic background. religiosity pandemic DASS 21 socio-economic conditions true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Delo ni kategorizirano 2024-04-18 15:53:25 2024-04-23 12:47:00 2024-09-10 12:06:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 51-69 20 (2) 2024 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 2023-11-17 2023-11-29 0000-00-00 3_Olah_et_al_(3).pdf 3_Olah_et_al_(3).pdf 1 F8C2446DC5C00DE93A67E0902DD2EB4F 106123fcf619e62f4e082211e09509d9ea99d242893f0feb1fa6d58f5e350de4 2d40f378-fd8b-11ee-a9bb-005056ac614f https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29209 http://www.ejst.tuiasi.ro/LoginPage20.htm 1 180441ce-fd8b-11ee-a9bb-005056ac614f https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=29208 Fakulteta za matematiko, naravoslovje in informacijske tehnologije 0 0 0
