- Abstract
It was aimed to examine that firstly changes in health behaviors that are including physical activity, healthy eating, change in the amount of cigarettes smoked, and secondly attitudes regarding restriction measures during pandemic with their associated factors. It was conducted by applying a face-to-face interview technique to individuals over the age of 18 who applied to an university hospital outpatient clinics. 1081 (86.4%) people were reached. An attitude score was obtained by scoring the answers to the questions created to evaluate the attitudes about the restraint measures, with higher values indicating more support. 6.5% of the participants stated that the level of physical activity increased, 62.1% decreased; 22% stated that they have a healthier diet, 17.9% stated that they have a more unhealthy diet. 9.9% of smokers stated that the amount of cigarettes they smoked decreased, while 30% stated that it increased. According to regression model, the risk of decreased physical activity level is higher in the highest income group (OR; 95% CI: 1.629;1.013-2.619), and in those were catching COVID-19 (1.451; 1.0149-2.076). This risk is increased in groups concerned about the transmission of COVID-19, except for those who are partially concerned. This risk is lower in different age groups, including the age group of 36-65, compared to the 18-25 age group. The risk of more unhealthy diets is lower in different age groups, which includes 46 years and older. People with a history of catching COVID-19 have a higher risk of increased cigarette smoking (2.205; 1.318-3.689). The restrictions that the participants think are very necessary or necessary at a lower rate are the curfew with 61%, the closure of schools with 66%. Those who consider it very necessary or partially necessary for all of the other restriction measures evaluated are over 70%. Attitude score increases from the group with no worries to the group who is very worried about the transmission of COVID-19 (p<0,001). It is seen that there is a significant deterioration in health behaviors during the pandemic period. It may be recommended to organize health promotion programs that primarily consider higher-risk groups for negative behavioral changes. The high support of restriction measures may be the factor that played a role in the success of these practices in suppressing the epidemic.
