The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Lifestyle: A Proposed Structural Model

Öz

During the Covid-19 epidemic, the duration of stay at home has increased and people have moved to a generally sedentary lifestyle away from social life. 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.

Covid-19 Salgınının Yaşam Tarzına Etkisi: bir yapısal model önerisi

Öz

Covid-19 salgını sırasında evde kalma süresi artmış ve insanlar sosyal hayattan genel olarak hareketsiz bir yaşam tarzına geçmiştir. Bu süreçte insanlar virüse yakalanma korkusu, ailesini veya yakın arkadaşını kaybetme kaygısı, algıladıkları risk ve işini kaybetme korkusu nedeniyle hayatlarında bazı değişiklikler yaşanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Covid 19 salgını ile ilgili sağlık sürecine güven, algılanan risk, kaygı ve Covid 19'un yaşam tarzına etkisi arasındaki ilişkiler Kısmi En Küçük Kareler Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (KEK-YEM) kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla öncelikle literatür taramasından yararlanılarak bir araştırma modeli tasarlanmıştır. Önerilen araştırma modelinde Güven ve Risk algısı dışsal gizil değişkenler, Anksiyete aracı aracı gizil değişken ve Yaşam Tarzı içsel gizil değişken olarak tanımlanmıştır. Analiz sonucunda Risk algısındaki bir birimlik artışın Kaygıda 0,23 birim, Yaşam Tarzında 0,18 birimlik bir değişikliğe neden olacağı ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca Kaygıdaki bir birimlik artışın Yaşam Tarzında 0.23 birimlik bir değişikliğe neden olacağı belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada, kişilerin kronik bir hastalığı olup olmamasına ve yakın çevresinde Covid-19 hastası olup olmamasına göre de çoklu grup analizi yapılmıştır.
