- Abstract
Introduction. The main goal of wellness is to promote proactive and preventive behavior that improves mental health and lifestyle. This study examined how the lifestyle of respondents was affected by the inability to visit spas and wellness centers during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Material and Methods. This crosssectional study included a total of 186 participants with an average age of 41.31 ± 10.475 years, 137 female and 49 male. We specifically designed a questionnaire to analyze the impact of the lack of wellness services during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Results. There was no statistically significant association between gender, age, education, and marital status and visiting wellness destinations. Monthly income, however, showed a statistically significant association with visiting wellness facilities (p = 0.002). There was a significant decrease in the use of wellness centers during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. A small number of the respondents believed the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has changed their lifestyle. Conclusion. The lack of wellness services has affected the respondents’ inability to relax and get away from daily life, but the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has not negatively changed their lifestyle (p = 0.001).
