In the process of the pandemic we are in, the impact of health anxiety on the life satisfaction of individuals has been studied. The research has been carried out in identificative and cutting-edge type. Between 08.01-12.02.2021 the data collection form was sent and reached to 405 adults between the ages of 18 and 65 who agreed to participate through the "Google form" link by mail or message. In the collection of data, the "Participant Information Form", "Health Anxiety Scale" and "Lifetime Scale" were used. The data is evaluated with the SPSS 20.0 program. Of the participants, 219 (54.1%) are women and 186 (45.9%) are men. Women’s health anxiety scale score (27.09±12.79) was higher than men (19.61±11.06) and there was a significant difference between them (p0.001). The participants who received the diagnosis of Covid-19 were lower than those who did not diagnose the life satisfaction and a significant difference was determined between them (p=0.040). The participants’ health concerns increased and their life satisfaction decreased, with a negative effect and a meaningful relationship between them (r=-.103; p=.039). Research finds that increased health anxiety reduces life satisfaction.
