Özet:

 Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the knowledge level of health science students about the COVID-19 outbreak and to examine its impact on health behavior. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with 345 students enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences and Health Services Vocational School of a university using an online questionnaire. Study data were collected using an online questionnaire between January-February 2021. The questionnaire form included questions about the demographic characteristics of the participants as well as the health knowledge level; It consists of 24 questions, including the effect on health behavior for the COVID-19 outbreak. In data analysis, number, percentage distributions, mean and standard deviation values were calculated with descriptive statistics tests. One-Way Anova test was used to compare the means within the group. Results: The average age of the students participating in the study is 21.653.35 and 79.7 of them are women. 74.21 of the participants did not have information about COVID-19 before 2019, 91.3 were worried about themselves or someone from their family catching COVID-19. It was determined that there is a statistically significant difference between health behaviors such as daily sleep and fluid intake before and after COVID-19 p0.001. Conclusion: As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic process has brought about changes in health science students knowledge and health behaviors. Since health sciences students have an important place in pandemic process management, it is recommended to make more studies on the subject and contribute to the literature.

 Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı sağlık bilimleri öğrencilerinin COVID-19 salgını ile ilgili bilgi düzeylerini saptamak ve sağlık davranışları üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, çevrimiçi anket yöntemi ile bir üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi ve Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokuluna kayıtlı 345 öğrenci ile yapılmıştır. Çalışma verileri, Ocak-Şubat 2021 tarihlerinde çevrimiçi anket formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Anket formu katılımcıların demografik özelliklerine dair soruların yanı sıra sağlık bilgi düzeyi; COVID-19 salgınına yönelik sağlık davranışına etkisi olmak üzere 24 sorudan oluşmak- tadır. Veri analizinde, tanımlayıcı istatistik testleri ile sayı, yüzde dağılımları, ortalama ve standart sapma değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Grup içi ortalamalarının karşılaştırılmasında One-Way Anova testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21.653.35 olup 79.7si kadındır. Katılımcıların 74.21i 2019 yılı öncesinde COVID-19 hak- kında bilgisinin olmadığını, 91.3ünün kendisi veya ailesinden birilerinin COVID-19a yakalanma konusunda endişe duyduğunu belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin 86.37si pandemi sürecinin bulaşıcı hastalıkları önlemeye yönelik aşı uygulamaları konusunda farkındalık kazandırdığını, 63.2 si pandemi sürecinde ellerini yıkama süresinde değişiklik olduğunu, 76.8i televizyon kanallarında yer alan haberlerden bilgi edindiğini bildirmiştir. COVID-19 öncesi-sonrası günlük uyku, sıvı alımı gibi sağlık davranışları arasında istatistiksel olarak ileri düzeyde anlamlı farklılık olduğu saptanmıştır p0,001. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, COVID-19 pandemi süreci sağlık bilimleri öğrencilerinin bilgi düzeylerinde ve sağlık davranışlarında değişiklikler meydana get- irmiştir. Sağlık bilimleri öğrencilerinin pandemi süreci yönetimi konusunda önemli bir yeri olduğu için konu ile ilgili daha fazla çalışma yapılıp literatüre katkı sağlanması önerilmektedir.
