The Psychological and Economic Effects Of The Covid-19 Pandemic

The purpose of this study is to conduct an overview of the psychologic and economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was performed as a review of studies published between March 2019 and August 2021 and as a systematic examination of the data yielded by these. Twenty-nine Turkish and international studies on the subject were accessed, and eight publications meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the study. All publications were examined via systematization in terms of methods and results. This systematic examination revealed that the psychologic situations and economies of many countries have been adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, that the most important reason for this is restrictions experienced as a result of lockdowns, that the worst affected areas are the tourism, industry, and finance sectors, and that countries have endeavored to adopt their own precautionary measures. The adverse psychological and economic impacts of Covid-19 in almost all countries continue to represent a major problem. Significant scientific findings regarding the problem were yielded by systematizing studies on the subject. We think that these findings are important in terms of determining the scope of future studies and the requisite measures for resolving the problem.
