Abstract
سترش ویروس کروناویروس جدید، با نام علمی SARS-Cov-2، بیماری تنفسی بالقوه تهدیدآمیز برای زندگی، منجر به ایجاد مشکل بزرگ بهداشت عمومی و تهدیدی بر سلامت میلیون ها انسان در جهان شده است. سازمان بهداشت جهانی در تاریخ 11 ژانویه 2019 با انتشار بیانیه ای، شیوع کروناویروس جدید را ششمین عامل وضعیت اضطراری بهداشت عمومی در سرتاسر جهان اعلام نمود.. بررسی های اولیه نشان داده است که افراد مبتلا به بیماریهای زمینه ای در معرض خطر بیشتری برای ایجاد عوارض و مرگ ومیر ناشی از بیماری می باشند. مطالعات انجام یافته در ایران نشان می دهد که مرگ ومیر در افراد بالای 50 سال میزان بالاتری دارد. بنابراین این بیماری یک اورژانس جدی برای سلامت عمومی، به ویژه در جمعیت های آسیب پذیر می باشد و برای افرادی که به اندازه کافی برای مدیریت عفونت آماده نیستند، کشنده است. براساس بررسی های انجام یافته در ایران، افراد سالمند مانند سایر کشورهای درگیر این بیماری جز افراد در معرض خطر می باشند. . اصطلاح ترس از بیماری به معنای ترس غیرمنطقی یا بیش از حد از وضعیت خاص است. ترس شدید نسبت به وضعیت و بیماریهای خاصی مانند ابتلا به HIV، سل ریوی، سرطان، بیماری های قلبی و ابتلا به سرماخوردگی یا آنفولانزا گزارش شده است ترس از بیماری می تواند؛ بر رفتارهای خودمراقبتی افراد تاثیر گذار باشد. خود مراقبتی ، رفتارهای آموخته شده ای هستند که شخص برای حفظ یا ارتقای زندگی، سلامت، خوب بودن، پیشگیری و درمان انجام می دهند. رفتارهای خود مراقبتی بـه عنوان اساسی ترین راه پیشگیری از ابتلا بـه بیمـاری هـا بـه ویژه بیمـاری ها شـناخته شـده اسـت. از ایـن رو رفتارهای خودمراقبتی باید بـه عنـوان راهبرد اصلی جهت حفظ و ارتقاء سلامت مورد توجـه قـرار گیرند. بنا به آمار بالای سالمندان در ایران و آسیب پذیر بودن این قشر از جامعه و این که اگاهی در مورد این میزان ترس از بیماری COVID-19 و ارتباط آن با خودمراقبتی در افراد سالمند، ارائه دهندگان مراقبت های بهداشتی می توانند برنامه های مناسب برای مراقبت از این افراد طراحی نمایند لذا این مطالعه با هدف بررسی وضعیت ترس و خود مراقبتی و ارتباط آنها با هم طی اپیدمی بیماری کرونا ویروس طراحی گردید. روش نمونه گیری خوشه ای می باشد به اینصورت که شهر ایلام را به 5 قسمت شمال، جنوب، شرق، غرب و مرکز تقسیم کرده و بر اساس تعداد مراکز بهداشتی و زنان مراجعه کننده تحت پوشش هر مرکز، تعداد نمونه برای هر منطقه مشخص می شود و بصورت تصادفی مراکز از هر منطقه جهت نمونه گیری انتخاب می شود که نمونه ها از تمامی مناطق شهر باشند. نمونه ها در صورت داشتن شرایط ورود به مطالعه وارد تحقیق می شوند بدین ترتیب که بعد از بررسی اولیه ی معیارهای ورود، پرسشنامه های پژوهش توسط پژوهشگر به افراد داده خواهد شد و بعد از تکمیل پرسشنامه بلافاصله پرسشنامه توسط پژوهشگر یا کمک پژوهشگر آموزش دیده بررسی خواهد گردید درصورتی که نمونه های پژوهش، سوالات پرسشنامه را متوجه نشوند سوالات توسط پژوهشگر یا کمک پژوهشگر آموزش دیده به آنها توضیح داده می در نهایت داده های جمع آوری شده از پرسشنامه ها با نرم افزار SPSS تجزیه و تحلیل می گردد.

Abstract
Anthropologists and sociologists consider population aging to be the most important phenomenon of the present age [2]. According to the World Health Organization, by 2025 the population of the elderly will reach more than 800 million [5]. Also, according to another report from this organization, a high percentage of the need to use health services compared to the total population is related to the elderly. The need for comprehensive attention to the elderly is due to the fact that these people have many health problems and are the main consumers of health services [3].
The significant increase in the elderly population has posed many challenges to health policymakers. [4]
One of the most important challenges is maintaining the quality of health care for the elderly. There are various factors involved in providing quality services to the elderly, but one of these factors is the attitude of health care providers to the elderly and the phenomenon of aging [7].
Therefore, the main purpose and necessity of this study is to investigate the attitudes of students of Ilam University of Medical Sciences and their willingness to work with the elderly because their field of work in the future may be directly related to the provision of services and health care to the elderly.

Abstract
Old age is a transition and the result of a natural shift around the axis of time and an inseparable part of life for those who live a normal life. The correct definition of old age is very difficult, but demographic statistics consider the period of entering old age as the beginning of the age of 60 to 65 years, during which a series of biological changes in people begin and affect their social, physical and psychological functions. Currently, there are 120 million people aged 80 or over living around the world, and by 2050, the proportion of elderly people over 60 will double from 12% to 22% (2 billion people). According to the statistical indicators, Iran is passing from youth to adulthood and in the coming years to old age and it is predicted that in 1403 it will be 10.5% and by 1430 it will be 27.9% of the total population of the country. They will be elderly.
Among the common changes related to aging are more diseases related to old age such as high blood pressure and diabetes, financial stress, burden of caring for others, emotional stress, mood disorders, anxiety and lack of self-satisfaction, and changes in the quality of life. compared to the last decades of life. Physical changes in these ages show themselves as the first part of this process. According to the studies conducted in the field of geriatric science, the most important visible physical changes from this period of life include involuntary weight loss, fatigue, reduced walking speed, muscle weakness, and insufficient movement. The set of these symptoms is known as the laxity phenotype. This expression means the existence of at least two of the mentioned physical changes along with an underlying disease in an elderly person. The presence of frailty phenotype increases vulnerability in the elderly, increases the level of dependence on other people, and decreases their independence in performing daily activities. Other negative side effects of frailty phenotype include disability, dependence, increased mortality, social isolation, frequent and long-term hospitalization, risk of falls and fractures, limitations in physical performance, and increased occurrence of mental disorders.
The prevalence of mental disorders in people aged 65 and older is 15-25% worldwide, which can show itself with symptoms such as: anxiety, feelings of isolation, changes in night sleep habits and memory loss. The prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders in the elderly increases psychological damage, anxiety and misbehavior in the elderly. With the spread of anxiety in the elderly, he is less likely to be present in social gatherings, experiences depression more intensely, and follows up and implements individual self-care with lower quality. Therefore, the current study will be conducted with the general aim of determining the relationship between the phenotype of laxity and special anxiety in the elderly admitted to the teaching hospitals of Ilam in 2024.
