Abstract

Amaç: Türkiye’de pandeminin ilk bir yıllık sürecinde insanların sosyalleşme şekillerini ortaya koyan ulusal televizyon ana haberlerini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Etnografik nitel araştırma desenine göre, Türkiye’deki altı ulusal kanal ana haberlerinde 11 Mart 2020-11 Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında yayınlanan ve sosyalleşme şekillerini içeren haberler içerik analiziyle çözümlenmiştir.
Bulgular: Hayat eve sığmamış sosyalleşmenin şekli değişmiş ve bu yeni sosyalleşme şekli dijitalleşme yönünde evrilmiştir. Her nesil, dijital çağa ayak uydurmaya başlamıştır. Dijital çağa ayak uyduranlar, sosyalleşme deneyimlerini sosyal medyada vakit geçirerek gerçekleştirmiştir. Komşular birbirlerinin evlerinde misafir olmak yerine balkonlarda toplanarak iletişim kurmaya başladılar. Toplum yöreselliğe, geleneklerini yaşamaya dönüş yaparak, belirsizlikle ve bilinmezlikle baş etmeye çalışmıştır. Elbirliği ile sorunların çözüleceğine dair umut duygusuyla sorunlarla baş etmek, Türk toplumunun pandemi süreciyle daha etkili baş etmesini sağlamıştır.
Sonuç: Kriz dönemlerinde toplum ruh sağlığı çalışmalarında multidisipliner çalışmaları desteklemek için öncül olacağını düşündüğümüz bu çalışmanın toplum ruh sağlığını geliştirme uygulamalarına önemli veriler sunacağını düşünmekteyiz.

Abstract

Objective: It was aimed to evaluate the news of national television that revealed the ways people socialize during the first year of the pandemic in Turkey.
Methods: According to the ethnographic qualitative research design, the news showed between 11 March 2020 and 11 March 2021 in the news of six national channels in Turkey and containing the forms of socialization were analyzed by content analysis.
Results: Life did not fit at home, the form of socialization changed and this new form of socialization evolved in the direction of digitalization. Those who have kept up with the digital age have realized their socialization experiences by spending time on social media. Neighbors began communicating by gathering on balconies, rather than being guests in one another's homes. Society have made an effort to cope with uncertainty and obscurity by returning to localness and living its traditions. Coping with challenges in the belief that they would be resolved together has enabled Turkish society to cope more successfully with the pandemic process.
Conclusions: This study will be a precursor to support multidisciplinary studies in community mental health studies in times of crisis, will provide important data for community mental health promotion practices.
