Covid-19 Pandemisinde Kaygı Durumu ve Hijyen Davranışları

Abstract

Objective: It was aimed to detect the presence of coronavirus and illness anxiety during the pandemic, to determine the levels of hygiene behaviours and to investigate the relationship between anxiety and hygiene behaviours. Material and Method: The study was conducted among 240 people aged 18 years and over, who agreed to participate in the study. The data were collected through an online questionnaire using Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), Hygiene Inventory-23 (HI-23) and Whiteley Index-7 (WI-7) after obtaining the consent of the participants. Findings: Of 240 people participated in our study, 183 were women and 57 were men. The mean scores on CAS, HI-23 and WI-7 were 2,90 ± 3,58, 3,18 ± 0,38 and 2,23 ± 2,10, respectively. There was a significant positive relationship (p<0,001; r=0,346) between CAS and WI-7. When CAS was categorized as 'with anxiety' or 'without anxiety' and its relationship with HI-23 was examined, a significant relationship was observed (p=0,015; r=0,156). There was no significant difference between WI-7 and HI-23 (p=0,578; r=0,036). Conclusion: Covid-19 pandemic affects mental health as well as physical health. Anxiety levels can be reduced through effective and continuous information and adequate protective equipment. Ideal and continuous hygiene behaviours can be effective in reducing transmission.
