Clinical Trial Summary

The physical and mental effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been examined by many researchers, but this study aims to evaluate in every aspect how university students who had to receive education with the distance education model due to the pandemic went through this process. Data regarding people's positive and negative habits from anthropometric characteristics and sleep quality, which is one of the sub-dimensions of healthy lifestyle behaviors, were evaluated, and the relationship between these parameters was examined in detail.

Description:

This study focuses on distance education, remote working, etc. during the pandemic period. It is compatible with the findings of studies on the subject and reveals that the nutrition and physical activity sub-parameters of the healthy lifestyle behaviors scale are related to anthropometric characteristics and sleep quality. Considering that the online working model has become widespread, from this perspective, for future studies, the effects of behavioral change strategies on individuals' sleep quality and anthropometric values can be investigated.
