What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pandemic Fatigue
Use Lockdown/Pandemic Fatigue Scale (LFS) measure pandemic fatigue. The scale with a total of 10 items measures pandemic fatigue. The range of total scores of the scale is 10-50. It shows that pandemic fatigue increases as total points of the scale increase.
Measured: 6 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Resilience
Use Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) measure individual resilience. The scale with a total of 25 items measures resilience. The range of total scores of the scale is 0-100. It shows that resilience increases as total points of the scale increase.
Measured: 6 weeks
