This study was conducted to evaluate whether there is a relationship between students' COVID-19 perceptions and attitudes and their healthy eating attitudes. The cross-sectional study was conducted with 388 students. Participants were administered a three-stage online questionnaire consisting of 'Demographic Characteristics Form', 'Attitude Scale on Healthy Nutrition' and 'Scale for the Evaluation of Perceptions and Attitudes Towards the Coronavirus Pandemic'. A statistically significant difference was found only in the personal sub-dimension of the scale for evaluating perceptions and attitudes towards the COVID-19 pandemic according to COVID-19 status. A weak positive correlation was found between the and cognitive avoidance (r:0.232, p<0.001) sub-dimension of the scale for evaluating perceptions and attitudes towards the COVID-19 pandemic and the Attitudes Towards Healthy Eating Scale. A very weak negative relationship was found between the belief (r:-0.113, p:0.025) and avoidance of personal contact (r:-0.157, p:0.002) sub-dimensions and the Attitudes Towards Healthy Eating Scale. In the study, it was determined that having COVID-19 disease and gender affected COVID-19 perceptions and attitudes. In addition, weak but significant relationships were found between healthy eating attitudes and COVID-19 perceptions and attitudes. KW - Covid 19 perception KW - healthy eating KW - university student N2 - COVİD-19 pandemisi döneminde özellikle okul çağındaki çocuk ve gençlerde artan korku ve endişe nedeniyle beslenme alışkanlıkları değişmiş ve ağırlık önemli ölçüde arttırmıştır. Araştırma, öğrencilerin COVİD-19 algı ve tutumları ile sağlıklı beslenme tutumları arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını değerlendirmek amacı ile yürütülmüştür. Kesitsel tipte tasarlanmış olan çalışma 388 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara, 'Demografik Özellikler Formu', 'Sağlıklı Beslenmeye İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği' ve 'Koronavirüs Salgınına Yönelik Algı ve Tutumların Değerlendirilmesi Ölçeği'nden oluşan üç aşamalı çevrimiçi anket uygulanmıştır. COVİD-19 geçirme durumlarına göre sadece COVİD-19 salgınına yönelik algı ve tutumları değerlendirme ölçeği kişisel alt boyutunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark tespit edilmiştir. COVİD-19 salgınına yönelik algı ve tutumları değerlendirme ölçeği bilişsel kaçınma (r:0.232, p<0.001) alt boyutu ile Sağlıklı Beslenmeye İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği arasında pozitif yönde zayıf bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. İnanç (r:-0.113, p:0.025) ve kişisel temastan kaçınma (r:-0.157, p:0.002) alt boyutları ile Sağlıklı Beslenmeye İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği arasında ise negatif yönde çok zayıf bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada COVİD-19 hastalığı geçirmenin ve cinsiyetin COVİD-19 algı ve tutumlarını etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca sağlıklı beslenme tutumları ile COVİD-19 algı ve tutumları arasında zayıf fakat anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur. CR - 1. Bennett, G, Young, E, Butler, I. and Coe, S. (2021).
