Özet:

 The aim of this descriptive study is to evaluate how the Covİd-19 pandemic has affected exercise, nutritional behaviors, and level of perceived stress in adults. 1037 people, 354 men and 683 women living in different regions in Turkey were reached. Quota sampling method was used. A questionnaire covering changes in socio-demographic information, dietary behaviors, and exercise status was used. The Perceived Stress Scale PSS was used. Data were collected by using the online survey method. The proportion of those who didnt exercise regularly during the quarantine period increased at a statistically significant level. The majority of the participants expressed that they made changes in their nutritional behaviors to protect themselves against the coronavirus. 48.7 of them stated that their desire to eat intensified during the quarantine period due to boredom and stress. Perceived Stress Scale mean score was higher in female participants compared to their male counterparts and this difference was statistically significant. If we as a society learn ways to cope with stress, we can prevent malnutrition behaviors that may occur due to changing emotional states. By providing information on special nutrition recommendations and home exercise practices in pandemics such as Covid-19; Energy intake can be balanced and people can be healthier.

 Bu tanımlayıcı çalışmanın amacı, yetişkinlerde Covid-19 salgınının egzersiz, beslenme davranışları ve algılanan stres düzeyini nasıl etkilediğini değerlendirmektir. Türkiyenin farklı bölgelerinde yaşayan 354 erkek ve 683 kadın olmak üzere 1037 kişiye ulaşıldı. Kota örnekleme yöntemi kullanıldı. Veri toplamak için sosyo-demografik bilgilerin yanı sıra beslenme davranışları ve egzersiz durumundaki değişiklikleri kapsayan bir anket kullanılmıştır. Algılanan Stres Ölçeği PSS kullanıldı. Veriler, çevrimiçi anket yöntemi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Karantina sürecinde düzenli egzersiz yapmayanların oranı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde artmıştır. Katılımcıların çoğunluğu koronavirüsten korunmak için beslenme davranışlarında değişiklik yaptıklarını ifade etmiştir. 48.7si karantina döneminde can sıkıntısı ve stres nedeniyle yemek yeme isteklerinin arttığını belirtmiştir. Kadın katılımcıların Algılanan Stres Ölçeği puan ortalaması erkek katılımcılara göre anlamlı ölçüde daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Toplum olarak stresle baş etme yolları öğrenirsek, değişen duygu durumuna bağlı oluşabilecek yanlış beslenme davranışlarını engelleyebiliriz. Covid-19 gibi pandemilerde özel beslenme önerileri ve evde egzersiz uygulamaları konularında bilgilendirme yapılarak; enerji alımını dengelenebilir ve insanların daha sağlıklı olması sağlanabilir.
