Abstract:

 Aim: This research was conducted to reveal the level of awareness about COVID-19 and hygiene behaviors among nursing students and to examine the correlation between the two. Materials and Methods: The study, in which a descriptive and cross-sectional design was used, was conducted between May 17 and June 18, 2021. The study sample consisted of students who were from the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university and volunteered to participate in the research. Data were collected via an online questionnaire that consisted of three measures, namely a descriptive data form, the COVID-19 Hygiene Scale, and the Coronavirus COVID-19 Awareness Scale. Results: Students scores on the COVID-19 hygiene scale 103.6221.95 and the Coronavirus COVID-19 awareness scale 60.1814.70 were found to be high. The results of the correlation analysis indicated that the COVID-19 Hygiene Scale had a moderate and positive relationship with the Awareness of Following Current Developments subscale and the Contagion Precaution Awareness subscale of the Coronavirus COVID-19 Awareness Scale and a strong and positive relationship with Hygiene Precaution Awareness subscale. Besides, a moderate, positive correlation was found between the Coronavirus COVID-19 Awareness Scale and COVID-19 Hygiene Scale. Conclusion: In conclusion, it was found that the awareness level and hygiene behaviors of nursing students participating in our study about COVID-19 were high.

 Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin COVID-19 pandemisi ile ilgili farkındalık düzeylerinin ve hijyen davranışlarının ortaya çıkarılması ve aralarındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türde olup 17 Mayıs-18 Haziran 2021 tarihleri arasında gerçekleşmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, bir Üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören, araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan öğrenciler oluşturmuştur. Veriler, Birey Tanıtım Formu, Koronavirüs COVID-19 Farkındalık Ölçeği ve COVID-19 Hijyen Ölçeği olmak üzere üç formdan oluşan çevrimiçi bir anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin COVID-19 hijyen ölçeği 103,6221,95 ve Koronavirüs COVID-19 farkındalık ölçeği toplam puanları yüksek düzeyde 60,1814,70 bulunmuştur. Korelasyon analizi sonuçlarına göre; COVID-19 hijyen ile Koronavirüs COVID-19 farkındalık alt boyutlarından bulaşma tedbiri farkındalığı ve güncel gelişmeleri takip farkındalığı arasında pozitif ve orta düzeyde bir ilişki, hijyen tedbiri farkındalığı alt boyutu arasında ise pozitif ve kuvvetli bir ilişki görülmüştür. Ayrıca COVID-19 hijyen ile Koronavirüs COVID-19 farkındalık arasında pozitif ve orta düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, araştırmamıza katılan hemşirelik öğrencilerinin COVID-19 hakkında farkındalık düzeyinin ve hijyen davranışlarının yüksek olduğu görülmüştür.
