| dc.description.abstract | Objective: This study aims to examine pandemic aware ness and general well-being in adults during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) isolation and normalization periods. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 330 adult volunteers. An evaluation form structured on the internet was utilized in this study. The data were collected using the demographic information form, the Pandemic Awareness Scale (PAS), the Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the EuroQol Quality of Life Scale (EQ-5D-3L), and the Physical Activity Index (FIT). Results: The study involved 330 adult participants, with an average age of 34.79±11.81 years, PAS levels were higher during the COVID-19 isolation period (p=0.008). During the normalization period, sleep quality and quality of life increased, while fatigue scores decreased. There was no rela tionship between pandemic awareness and fatigue, sleep, physical ac tivity level, and quality of life during the isolation period (p>0.05). However, during normalization, a moderate relationship was found be tween pandemic awareness and CFS physical scores (p=0.003), men tal scores (p=0.006) and total score (p=0.002). A weak relationship was found between pandemic awareness and EQ-visual analogue scale (p=0.011), whereas no relationship was found with FIT scores (p=0.381). Conclusion: As the isolation period ended and the normal ization period began, the decrease in pandemic awareness was consid ered a negative result. It has been observed that pandemic awareness affects fatigue and health status during the normalization period. | |
