A society, a disease, a survey and the expected result

Abstract

COVID-19, which affects the whole world, has affected people, societies and human relations throughout the process. The COVID-19 pandemic both limited people's social lives and changed the perspective of people who carry the virus. Anxiety, fear, haste, loneliness, worry were the most common emotions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate how social warnings affect people, the effects of death risk due to the disease, the side effects of the drugs used on behavior change, and the underlying factors. 189 cases were included in the study. The study was designed in the style of a 20-question questionnaire on the effects of covid-19 and treatment options on the behavior pattern. The responses were evaluated and interpreted as percentages. Variables on family and social behavior related to anxiety, fear, panic, and loneliness caused by COVID-19 and the drugs used in its treatment were observed. Negative effects of COVID-19 were observed in family and community relations. COVID-19 has caused psychological and sociological changes in interpersonal and social behaviors all over the world. There are differences in behavioral patterns among societies. In Turkish society, behavioral changes arising from the characteristic and patriarchal characteristics of the society have been observed. A more detailed assessment of the effects of COVID-19 and subsequent pandemics on the individual and society remains important.
