Awareness, attitudes, and anxiety related to COVID-19 pandemic among the public in early terms of the pandemic in Turkey

Öz

Giriş Çalışmayı, Türkiye'de halkın COVID-19 hakkında temel bilgilerini sorgulamak amacıyla yaptık. Yöntem Bu çalışma Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi'nde gerçekleştirilmiştir. COVID-19 bilgi dzüeyini ölçme anketi yazarlar tarafından geliştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara haber alma kaynakları, tedavi hakkındaki bilgileri, COVID-19’un semptomları ve kuluçka süresi konusundaki düşünceleri sorgulanmıştır. Anksiyete seviyesini 10 cm'lik Görsel Analog Ölçeği kullanılarak sorgulanmıştır (0: Endişelenmeyin; 10: Kesinlikle endişelenin). Sağlık kaygısı durumunu değerlendirmek için 14 maddelik bir Sağlık Kaygı Envanteri (Kısa Form) kullanılmıştır. Bulgular Yaş ortalaması 32.20 ± 13.27 yıl olan 513 (268 kadın % 52.2, 245 erkek % 47.8) birey dahil edildi. Katılımcıların %43.5’i egzersiz yapmanın virüse karşı koruyucusu olduğunu belirtmiştir. Katılımcıların çoğu önlem olarak “toplu taşımada azalma, okulları ve kamu kurumlarını kapatma, kişisel bakım ve hijyen artışları” hususlarını onaylamışlardır. Son günlerde kendilerini COVID-19 enfeksiyonundan korumak için yapılan en büyük alışkanlık ellerin yıkanmasında bir artış idi (% 64.7). Anksiyete düzeyi 5.58 idi ve bu da katılımcıların orta derecede anksiyete düzeyine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Tüm katılımcıların Kısa Sağlık Anksiyete Envanteri puanının 15.33 ± 9.83 olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç Halkın COVID-19 hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olduğu, pandemiye karşı alınması gereken önlemlerin farkında oldukları belirlenmiştir. Ancak kaygı düzeyleri yüksekti. Yetkili makamların, halkın kaygısını azaltmak amacıyla kamuoyu ile salgın hakkında düzenli bilgiler paylaşmaya devam etmeleri gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
