Abstract
Objectives: COVID-19 caused individual and social measures to be taken at the global level, and changed the social life, especially due to effects on interpersonal relations, the environment, and psychological and physical conditions. It was aimed to determine the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors related to the disease and the quality of life of people who applied to the COVID-19 vaccine unit of a state hospital.
Methods: Descriptive and cross-sectional research was carried out with 360 individuals. Data collection tools were the Individual Information Form, Multidimensional COVID-19 Scale, and Impact of COVID-19 on Quality of Life Scale. Statistical analysis of the data was made using SPSS 20.0.
Results: Multidimensional COVID-19 and Quality of Life Scale mean scores were found to be 80.50±18.14 and 3.16±1.00, respectively. A positive correlation was determined between the emotions, behavior, and thoughts related to COVID-19 and Quality of Life Scale.
Conclusions: Considering society's perceptions of COVID-19 and the impact of the pandemic process on quality of life, it was thought that the trainings carried out by nurses and other health professionals may affect the adaptaion of protective processes related to COVID-19.
