Aşılama ve korunma önlemleri ile kontrol altına alınmaya çalışılan salgında dünyada konfirme edilen sayılara göre 769.774.646 insan hastalanıp ve 6.955.000 ölüm saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmada COVID-19 hastalığı ile ilgili üniversite öğrencilerinin bilgi düzeyini araştırmak, hastalığa yönelik tutumlarını belirlemek ve davranış şekilleri değerlendirerek ileride yapılacak çalışmalar ve uygulamalar için yol gösterici olmak amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmamız tanımlayıcı türde, kesitsel bir saha çalışmasıdır. Araştırmanın evrenini  Tıp, Diş Hekimliği, Mühendislik Fakültesi öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Anket ulusal ve uluslararası literatür taraması sonucu oluşturularak, çevrimçi sistemle uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Ankete, Mühendislik fakültesinden 472, Tıp fakültesinden 113, Diş hekimliğinden 25, toplam 610 öğrenci katılmıştır. Öğrencilerin 317’si kadın, yaş ortalamaları 21.4 ± 1.9 saptanmıştır.   Doksanbir öğrenci COVID-19 hastalığı geçirmiştir. Sadece 50’si COVID-19 aşısı olmuştur. Aşı olanlar 37 öğrencide kol ağrısı, baş ağrısı ve kas ağrısı gibi yan etkiler görmüştür. Aşı olmayanların 447’si aşı olmayı düşünüyorken, 113 kişi yan etkisinden çekindiği için, etkinliğine inanmadığı için ve iğneden korktuğu için aşı olmayı istememektedirMühendislik öğrencileri; COVID-19 virüsü antibiyotikle tedavi edilebilir (p=0.001), hastalığın kesin tedavisi vardır (p=0.001), evden çıktığımda eldiven takıyorum (p=0.011), virüsün laboratuvarda üretildiğini düşünüyorum (p=0.001), bağışıklığım güçlü, virüse karşı önlem almam gerektiğini düşünmüyorum  (p=0.013 ) cevapları ile diğer bölümlere göre  bilgi eksiklikleri daha yüksek bulunmuştur.Sonuçlar:  Üniversite öğrencileri arasında COVID-19 hastalığı ile ilgili yanlış bilgi ve davranışlar olduğu görülmüştür. Temel eğitimlerin tüm bölümlere verilmesi sağlanmalıdır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Aim: The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS-CoV-2), which was announced in the world on March 11, 2020, continue today with its variants. In the epidemic, which was tried to be controlled with vaccination and protection measures, 769,774,646 people became ill and 6,955,000 deaths were determined according to the confirmed numbers in the world. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the knowledge level of university students about COVID-19 disease, to determine their attitudes towards the disease and to evaluate their behavior patterns and to guide for future studies.Material and Methods: Our research is a descriptive, cross-sectional field study. The population of the research consists of the students of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Engineering. The questionnaire was created as a result of national and international literature review and applied with an online system.Results: A total of 610 students, 472 from the Faculty of Engineering, 113 from the Faculty of Medicine, 25 from the Dentistry Faculty, participated in the survey. 317 of the students were female, their mean age was 21.4 ± 1.9. Ninety-one students suffered from COVID-19 disease. Only 50 have been vaccinated against COVID-19. Those who received the vaccine experienced side effects such as arm pain, headache and muscle pain in 37 students. While 447 of those who are not vaccinated are considering getting vaccinated, 113 people do not want to be vaccinated because they fear side effects, do not believe in its effectiveness and are afraid of injections.Engineering students; COVID-19 virus can be treated with antibiotics (p=0.001), there is a definite cure for the disease (p=0.001), I wear gloves when I leave the house (p=0.011), I think the virus was produced in the laboratory (p=0.001), my immunity is strong, I do not take precautions against the virus I don&#039;t think it&#039;s necessary (p=0.013) and the lack of knowledge was found to be higher than the other sections.Conclusion: It has been observed that there is false information and behaviors about COVID-19 disease among university students. Basic training should be provided to all departments.</p></trans-abstract>
