Material and Methods: The cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at a foundation university in the 2021-2022 academic year with 793 university students. The Information Form, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale FCV-19S, the Nutrition Processes of Change Scale NPCS, the Exercise Processes of Change Scale EPCS and the SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale were applied online through a structured questionnaire created in Google Forms. Research data were evaluated with IBM SPSS v26 software. Results: A total of 793 university students participated and 76.9 were female. The mean age was 21.843.42 years, and the mean BMI body mass index was 22.613.55 kgm2. According to the SCOFF evaluation, 33.5 of the students were found to be at risk of eating disorders. In this study, significant positive correlations were found between fear of coronovirus with NPCS r0.162; p0.001, EPCS r0.180; p0.001 and also SCOFF r0.181; p0.001. In addition, fear of coronavirus significantly predicted NPCS scores F44.235; p0.001, EPCS scores F24.820; p0.001 and also SCOFF scores F28.091; p0.001 significantly. Conclusion: It has been determined by correlation analysis and regression analysis methods that fear of coronavirus was a significant predictor of eating disorder and changes in nutrition and physical activity habits.

 Amaç: COVID-19 korkusuna bağlı olarak bireylerin artan stres düzeyi, beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite alışkanlıklarında dramatik değişimlere yol açan en önemli psikolojik faktör olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Bu araştırmada, bireylerdeki koronavirüs korkusunun, yeme bozukluğu riski, beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite alışkanlıklarındaki değişim ile ilişkisinin ve yordayıcı rolünün incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipte olan çalışmaya, bir vakıf üniversitesinin 2021-2022 akademik yılında kayıtlı olan 793 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Google Formlarda oluşturulan yapılandırılmış bir anket aracılığıyla Bilgi Formu, Koronavirüs COVID-19 Korkusu Ölçeği KKÖ, Beslenme Değişim Süreçleri Ölçeği BDSÖ, Egzersiz Değişim Süreçleri Ölçeği EDSÖ ve REZZY Yeme Bozukluğu Riski Ölçeği online olarak uygulanmıştır. Araştırma verileri IBM SPSS v26 paket programıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 793 üniversite öğrencisinin 76,9u kadındır. Yaş ortalaması 21,843,42 yıl olan öğrencilerin, beden kütle indeksi BKİ ortalaması 22,613,55 kgm2dir. REZZY değerlendirmesine göre öğrencilerin 33,5inde yeme bozukluğu riski saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmada koronovirüs korkusu ile EDSÖ puanları arasında r0,180; p0,001, BDSÖ puanları arasında r0,162; p0,001 ve REZZY puanları arasında r0,181; p0,001 anlamlı pozitif korelasyonlar saptanmıştır. Buna ek olarak, öğrencilerin KKÖ puanlarının BDSÖ puanlarının üzerinde F44,235; p0,001, EDSÖ puanları üzerinde F24,820; p0,001 ve REZZY puanları üzerinde F28,091; p0,001 etkisinin olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Koronavirüs korkusunun, yeme bozukluğu, beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite alışkanlıkları süreçlerindeki değişimin anlamlı bir yordayıcısı olduğu, korelasyon analizi ve regresyon analizi yöntemleri ile saptanmıştır.
