There are also tools designed specifically for the assessment of anxiety or fear related to COVID-19. However, it has been found that no study has assessed future concerns about the pandemic.  This concept was defined by Zaleski at the end of the 20th century as a condition of anxiety, fear, anxiety and anxiety regarding negative changes that may occur in the distant personal future.

The aim of this study is to conduct an analysis to reveal the level and determinants of future concerns about COVID-19 pandemic in high school students who are learning from a distance in Turkey after the start of the epidemic state. However, the study aimed at evaluating the prevalence of coronavirus anxiety with the existing levels of health literacy of students who were in the need to continue their training at a distance during the COVID-19 epidemic, identifying the potential risk and protective factors that increase anxiety.

The universe of study is formed by students registered in high schools associated with the Ministry of National Education located in Istanbul. Identifying, cutting and relationship-seeking design planned work pandemic conditions due to the online surveys were attempted to reach all students without the sample selection in high schools within the scope of the Grandçekmece National Education Directorate. A total of 2,944 students participated in the study. The research data collection tool consists of three sections. In the first part the researchers prepared the socio-demographic information form for the identification of the participants, in the second part the social-demographic information form was used, in the second part the Health Reading Measurement (SOY) adapted by Aras and Basic Bayik (2017) and in the third part the Coronavirus Anxiety Measurement (KAÖ) adapted by Biçer vd. (2020) was used.

In the analysis of the obtained data, SPSS 25 and the add-on package AMOS statistical software were used. The analysis of the validity of the scales used in the study, while the calculation of reliability, the Cronbach Alpha values were considered. The differences between the groups were identified using the Independent Samples T-test and the One-Way ANOVA test. Regression analyses have also been used to determine the correlation and effect in determining the relationship between the variables. One of the important outcomes of the study is the result that the level of health readiness affects the level of corona viral anxiety. Negative meaningful relationship is defined as a decrease in anxiety while the level of health readiness increases.
