Abstract:

It was conducted to determine the factors associated with the quality of life during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a cross-sectional and correlational study conducted in Turkey in 2022. The study sample consisted of 400 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 65 living in Turkey. Data were collected online through the information form “The COV19-Impact on Quality of Life (COV19-QoLTR) Scale”, “The fear of Covid-19 Scale (FCV-19S)”, and “The Turkish Health Literacy Scale-32 (THLS-32)”. It was found that there was a positive and significant relationship between the COV19-QoLTR scale and the FCV-19S and a negative and significant relationship between the sub-dimension of THLS-32 disease prevention and health promotion. It was determined that among the participants, women (t=2.584 p=.010); those with postgraduate education (F=5.47 p=.000); those who were vaccinated to protect against Covid-19 (t=3.46 p=0.001); those with a chronic disease (t=2.31 p=0.021) had a significantly higher mean score on the "COV19- QoLTR". Our research has confirmed the relationship between fear of Covid-19, health literacy, chronic disease, gender, education level, vaccination status, and quality of life.
