ÖZET
Son zamanlarda dünyada yaygın görülmeye başlayan koronavirüs (COVID-19) salgını çok sayıda insanın yaşamını yitirmesine neden olmuştur. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü COVID-19 enfeksiyonunu pandemi olarak ilan etmiştir. Pandemiler, toplumda kolektif stres yaratarak toplum yaşamını sekteye uğratabilmektedir. Yaşanan pandemiler sonrasında toplumda anksiyete, depresyon ve travma sonrası stres bozukluğu belirtilerinde artışlar olduğu ve belirtilerin direnç kazanarak kalıcı ruhsal bozukluklara dönüştüğü bilinmektedir. Pandemilerin olumsuz sonuçlarının kalıcı ruhsal bozukluklara dönüşmesinin engellenmesi için internet teknolojisini kullanarak psikososyal müdahalelerin yapılması önerilmektedir. Bu noktada ilk ve acil psikososyal destek müdahalesi psikolojik ilk yardımdır (PİY). Psikolojik ilk yardım empatik ve pragmatik yaklaşımlar ile bireylerin kendi baş etme yeteneklerini harekete geçirerek iyileşmelerine yardımcı olur. Psikolojik ilk yardım virüs salgınları sırasında fiziksel mesafe zorunlu olduğu için internet teknolojisi kullanılarak verilebilmektedir. Bu derleme çalışmasında son günlerde tüm dünyada görülen ve çok sayıda insanın ölümüne neden olan COVID-19 salgını durumunda uygulanabilecek psikolojik ilk yardım ilke ve uygulamaları açıklanmaktadır. Bu derleme yazısının, salgın durumlarında yardım sağlayıcılarına rehberlik edeceği ve yardım becerilerinin gelişimine katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir.
