Abstract

Some personal and social decisions can be influential in the spread of COVID-19. There are no studies examining school attendance, impulsivity, COVID-19 phobia, and psychological resilience together while the effect of some individual and social measures on COVID-19 has been frequently investigated. In this study 360 participants were evaluated through an online questionnaire method during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sociodemographic data form prepared by the researchers, COVID-19 Phobia Scale, Barratt Impulsivity Scale, and Brief Resilience Scale were used in the study. In all, 20.6% (n = 74) of participants had previously experienced COVID-19. The rate of individuals who experienced the death of any of their relatives due to COVID-19 was 17.8%. Only 65.8% of respondents fully complied with government-implemented measures for the outbreak. School attendance (OR = 1.983, p = .033) and impulsivity (OR = 1.115, p < .001) were found to be positively correlated with COVID-19. The presence of a significantly higher psychiatric disease admission history in patients with COVID-19 in binary comparisons did not reach the level of significance in regression analysis. Our results suggest that high school attendance and impulsivity scores are positively correlated with COVID-19 in young people. Government strategies related to schools need to be carefully reviewed for this reason.

冲动和入学率对 COVID-19 传播的影响：基于网络的横截面问卷调查。

一些个人和社会决定可能会影响 COVID-19 的传播。目前还没有研究将出勤率、冲动性、COVID-19恐惧症和心理复原力结合起来进行研究，而一些个人和社会措施对COVID-19的影响却经常被研究。在本研究中，360 名参与者在 COVID-19 大流行的高峰期接受了在线问卷调查。研究中使用了研究人员准备的社会人口学数据表、COVID-19 恐怖症量表、巴拉特冲动量表和简易复原力量表。共有 20.6% 的参与者（n = 74）曾经历过 COVID-19。曾有任何亲属死于 COVID-19 的受访者比例为 17.8%。只有 65.8% 的受访者完全遵守了政府针对疫情实施的措施。学校出勤率（OR = 1.983，p = .033）和冲动性（OR = 1.115，p = .033）。

期刊介绍： Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis. International Planning Studies (IPS) addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
