The data was collected using the "Intentional Information Form", the "Coronavirus Fear Scale", the "Integrated Anxiety Stress Scale" and the "Healthy Life Awareness Scale". In data analysis, identifiable statistics, parametric tests, pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis have been used. The findings: The coronavirus (COVID-19) scores of fear were found by women with an average score of 18,00±6,75, an integrated anxiety stress score of 55,60±24,61 and a healthy life awareness score of 62,63±8,84. The average coronavirus fear score of married women (19,63±6,59) was higher than single women (17,38±6,78) (t=-3,271, p=,001). The study found that women between the ages of 30 and 39 had higher coronavirus scores compared to women between the ages of 20 and 29 (F=4,514, p=,012); women with 6–10 years of work experience (F=4,819, p=,009) had higher coronavirus scores compared to women with 5 years of work experience (F=4,819, p=,009). There was a positive relation between coronavirus fear and healthy life consciousness total score (r=0,127; p<0,05) and integrated anxiety stress score (r=0,348, p<0,01) . Socialization and anxiety, stress scores have been determined to explain the coronavirus fear by 19%. Result: In the study, it is very important that individuals are mentally supported in the effective management of the process, since the healthy life awareness score in the pandemic process affects their mental conditions.

Aim: The aim of the present study is to establish levels of anxiety, stress and fear, as well as healthy lifestyle awareness among working women, during the pandemic. Method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The research was carried out with 387 working women in the age range of 18-65, living in Turkey and meeting the inclusion criteria. Study data were collected using the "Introductory Form", "Fear of Covid-19 Scale", "Integrated Anxiety Stress Scale" and "Healthy Lifestyle Awareness Scale". Descriptive statistics, parametric tests, Pearson’s correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: The women included in the study had a mean score of 18.00 ± 6.75 on the Fear of Coronavirus (COVID-19), a mean score of 55.60 ± 24.61 on the Integrated Anxiety, Stress Scale, and a mean score of 62.63 ± 8.84 on the Healthy Lifestyle Awareness Scale. It was determined that the mean score of Fear of Coronavirus (19.63±6.59) of married women was higher than that of single women (17.38±6.78) (t=-3.271, p=.001). It has been determined that women in the 30-39 age range have higher coronavirus fear scores than women in the 20-29 age range (F=4.514, p=.012), 6-10 years of working experience had higher coronavirus fear scores than those with 5 years or less working experience (F=4.819, p=.009). A positive and significant correlation was found between fear of coronavirus and healthy living awareness total score (r=0.127; p<0.05) and integrated anxiety stress score (r=0.348, p<0.01). Socialization and anxiety-stress scores explained the fear by 19%. Conclusion: Since the healthy life awareness score of the women working in the research affects their mental state during the pandemic process, it is very important to support the individuals in the effective management of the process. Variables such as age, marital status, educational level, and years of professional experience are associated with the fear of COVID-19 and healthy lifestyle awareness. Factors that improve healthy lifestyle awareness should be taken into consideration in order to minimize psychological effects in working women.
