Description:
The number of new Coronavirus-2019 (Covid-19) cases is increasing day by day despite the
warnings "Stay at home! Wear a mask! Keep social distance!". The aim of this descriptive
study is to determine the risk factors that affect the Covid-19 infection in Turkey.
The majority of the lands within the Republic of Turkey cover Anatolia, while a minor part
covers Thrace, the southeast extension of the Balkan Peninsula. The population of Turkey is
83,154,997. Based on the natural, human and financial characteristics, the country consists
of seven regions: Mediterranean, Eastern Anatolia, Aegean, Southeastern Anatolia, Central
Anatolia, Marmara, and Black Sea. The majority of the population lives in the Marmara Region.
The online link of the form created on Google forms was sent to the participants' phones
between 18.10.2020 and 18.11.2020 and participants' informed consent was obtained.
A 43-item questionnaire form which had two sections and was prepared by the researcher in
line with the literature was used in data collection. The first section questioned
participants' personal characteristics (first letters of participants' names and surnames,
date of birth, profession, employment status, risk of Covid-19 infection, family type, etc.),
while the second section questioned the practices of following 14 rules declared by the
Turkish Ministry of Health to prevent the Covid-19 pandemic (using a mask, observing the hand
hygiene and social distance, etc.) and whether participants were diagnosed with Covid-19.
Identity details that could help identify the participants were not questioned.
