ABSTRACT
 Objective: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected human life in many ways. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of COVID-19 disease, sociodemographic characteristics and fear of COVID-19. Material and Methods: This study is a crosssectional research conducted on the web. 498 participants were included in the analysis after the sample with incomplete data entry and disrupting the normal distribution was removed. Data collection tools were sent to the participants via an online questionnaire link. Statistical data were evaluated with independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, correlation and regression analysis by using SPSS 24 package program. Results: The mean age of the 498 participants included in the analysis in the study was 29.52 (minimum=18, maximum=72), and it was determined that 59.6% were women and 50% were associate degree graduates. The fear of COVID-19 is higher in women, those over 65, those with chronic diseases and those who perceive COVID-19 disease as a life threatening . It has been determined that there is a statistically significant, positive and weak relationship between individuals' fear of COVID-19 and gender, number of children, and a negative and strong relationship between COVID-19 disease threatens life and gender. When the regression analysis results are examined; when the significance of the variables used in the model was examined, it was found that the age and gender of COVID-19 disease was statistically significant for life threatening (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was found that the level of knowledge and fear of COVID-19 were not correlated, and that sociodemographic characteristics were related to the fear of COVID-19.

ÖZET
 Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemisi insan hayatını pek çok yönden olumsuz etkilemiştir. Bu çalışma, COVID-19 hastalığı bilgi düzeyi ile sosyodemografik özellikler ve COVID-19 korkusu arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, web üzerinde gerçekleştirilen kesitsel bir araştırmadır. Veri girişi eksik olan ve normal dağılımı bozan örneklem çıkarıldıktan sonra 498 katılımcı analize dâhil edilmiştir. Veri toplama araçları katılımcılara çevrim içi anket bağlantısı aracılığıyla gönderilmiştir. İstatistiksel veriler SPSS 24 paket program aracılığı ile bağımsız t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi, korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmada analize dâhil edilen 498 katılımcının yaş ortalaması 29,52 (minimum=18, maksimum=72) olup, %59,6'sının kadın ve %50'sinin ön lisans mezunu olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kadınlarda, 65 yaş üstü olanlarda, kronik hastalığı bulunanlarda ve COVID-19 hastalığını hayati tehlike olarak algılayanlarda COVID-19 korkusu daha yüksektir Bireylerin COVID-19 korkusu ile cinsiyet, çocuk sayısı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı, pozitif ve zayıf bir ilişki olduğu, COVID-19 hastalığının yaşamı tehdit ettiği düşüncesi ile cinsiyet arasında negatif ve güçlü bir ilişkinin olduğu belirlendi. Regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre; modelde kullanılan değişkenlerin anlamlılığı incelendiğinde COVID-19 hastalığının 65 yaş üstü bireylerde ve kadınlarda yaşamı tehdit etme açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu bulundu (p<0,05). Sonuç: COVID-19 bilgi düzeyi ve korkusunun ilişkili olmadığı, sosyodemografik özelliklerin COVID-19 korkusuyla ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur.
