In this process, people experienced some changes in their lives due to the fear of catching the virus, the anxiety of losing a family or close friend, the risk they perceived, and their fear of losing their jobs. In this study, the relationships between the factors of trust in the health process related to the Covid 19 epidemic, perceived risk, anxiety, and the impact of Covid 19 on the lifestyle were investigated using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). For this purpose, first of all, a research model was designed with the help of literature review. In the proposed research model, Trust and Risk perception are defined as exogenous latent variables, Anxiety tool as mediating latent variable and Lifestyle as endogenous latent variable. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that a one-unit increase in Risk perception would cause a 0.23-unit change in Anxiety and 0.18-unit change in Lifestyle. It was also determined that a one-unit increase in Anxiety would cause a 0.23-unit change in Lifestyle. In the study, multi-group analysis was also performed according to whether people have a chronic disease and whether they have Covid-19 patients in their close circle.}, number={1}, publisher={Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli Üniversitesi}, organization={YOK}
