Özet:

 This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between anxiety and nutritional habits in individuals during the COVID-19 period. The study was carried out with 800 individuals living in provinces across Turkey between February and March 2021. Data were collected using a questionnaire created on Google Forms, which included a Descriptive Information Form, the ORTO-11 Scale, and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale. The mean anxiety score of participants whose nutritional habits changed was statistically significantly higher than the score of those whose nutritional habits did not change p  0.000. It was found that the mean anxiety scores were found to be statistically significantly higher in participants whose weight increased than in those whose weight did not change p  0.002 and in those who consumed three or more snacks a day than in those who did not consume snacks at all p  0.002.The mean anxiety scores were found to be statistically significantly higher also in participants who used Zn p  0.015, Mg p  0.019, omega 3 p  0.002, vitamin C p  0.000, vitamin D p  0.000, turmeric extract p  0.002, black elderberry extract p 0.001, and multivitamins p0.001 than in those who did not use them. A very weak, negative, and statistically significant relationship was found between the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and ORTO-11 Scale scores r: -0.102, p  0.000. According to the findings of this study, the increase in individuals anxiety levels during the COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in their nutritional status.

 Bu çalışma, COVID-19 döneminde bireylerde anksiyete ve beslenme alışkanlıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma, Şubat-Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında Türkiye genelindeki illerde yaşayan 800 kişiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, Google Forms ile oluşturulan Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu, ORTO-11 Ölçeği ve Koronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeğini içeren anket kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Beslenme alışkanlıkları değişen katılımcıların ortalama anksiyete puanı, beslenme alışkanlıkları değişmeyenlerin puanından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksekti p0,000. Ağırlığı artan katılımcılarda ağırlığı değişmeyenlere göre p0,002 ve günde üç veya daha fazla ara öğün tüketenlerde hiç ara öğün tüketmeyenlere göre ortalama anksiyete puanlarının istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur p0,002. Zn p0,015, Mg p0,019, omega 3 p0,002, C vitamini p0,000, D vitamini p0,000, zerdeçal ekstraktı p0,002, kara mürver ekstraktı p0,001 ve multivitaminleri p0,001 kullanan katılımcılarda ortalama anksiyete puanlarının kullanmayanlara göre daha fazla olduğu bulunmuştur. Coronavirüs Anksiyete Ölçeği ile ORTO-11 Ölçeği puanları arasında çok zayıf, negatif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur r: -0,102, p  0,000. Bu çalışmanın bulgularına göre, COVİD-19 salgını sırasında bireylerin kaygı düzeylerinin artması, beslenme durumlarında da değişikliklere neden olmuştur.
