Özet:

 Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare coronaphobia, barriers to physical activity, the levels of physical activity and quality of life in different occupational groups during the Covid-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: 1685 individuals were included in this study. Participants were grouped per their professions as students n498, healthcare workers n259, desk workers n419, private sectorself-employed n201, armysecurity personnel n88, and non-classified n 220. Coronaphobia levels Covid-19 Phobia Scale, C19P-S, barriers to physical activity Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire, PABQ, quality of life levels Nottingham Health Profile, NHP were evaluated. Results: C19P-S total and Psychological and Social sub-dimension mean scores, PABQ total and Personal sub-dimension mean scores were higher in the student group compared to the other groups p0.001. The mean score of the C19P-S Economic sub-dimension was higher in the private sectorself-employed group p0.001. The PABQ Social sub-dimension score was found to be higher in healthcare workers p0.05. Conclusion: The results of this study support that barrier to physical activity in health workers may be caused by social factors and the coronaphobia of individuals in the private sectorself-employed group may be mostly caused by economic reasons. This study suggests that the lifestyle of different occupational groups may be affected from different aspects of the pandemic. In future studies, an individual exercise tracking system can be created for all occupational groups.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı meslek gruplarında Covid-19 pandemisi sırasında koronafobi, fiziksel aktivite engelleri, fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ve yaşam kalitelerini karşılaştırmaktı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 1685 kişi dahil edildi. Katılımcılar mesleklerine göre öğrenci n498, sağlık çalışanı n259, masa başı çalışan n419, özel sektörserbest meslek n201, silahlı kuvvetlergüvenlik personeli n88 ve sınıflandırılmamış grup n 220 olarak gruplandırıldı. Koronafobi düzeyleri Covid-19 Fobi Ölçeği, C19F-Ö, fiziksel aktivite engelleri Fiziksel Aktivite Engelleri Anketi, FAEÖ, yaşam kalitesi düzeyleri Nottingham Sağlık Profili, NSP değerlendirildi. Bulgular: C19F-Ö toplam ve Psikolojik ve Sosyal alt boyut puan ortalamaları, FAEÖ toplam ve Kişisel alt boyut puan ortalamaları öğrenci grubunda diğer gruplara göre daha yüksekti p0,001. C19P-Ö Ekonomik alt boyutu puan ortalaması özel sektörserbest meslek grubunda daha yüksekti p0,001. FAEÖ Sosyal alt boyut puanı sağlık çalışanlarında daha yüksek bulundu p0.05. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, sağlık çalışanlarında fiziksel aktivite engelinin sosyal faktörlerden kaynaklanabileceğini ve özel sektörserbest meslek grubundaki bireylerin koronafobisinin daha çok ekonomik nedenlerden kaynaklanabileceğini desteklemektedir. Bu çalışma, farklı meslek gruplarının yaşam tarzlarının pandeminin farklı yönlerinden etkilenebileceğini düşündürmektedir. İleride yapılacak çalışmalarda tüm meslek grupları için bireysel egzersiz takip sistemi oluşturulabilir.
