Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma ile COVID-19 pandemisi kısıtlamalarında Türk toplumundaki yetişkinlerin diyet davranışları, fiziksel aktivite ve stres düzeylerindeki değişimin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte tasarlanan bu çalışma, 9-18 Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’nin farklı illerinde yaşayan 18 yaş ve üzerindeki herkese açık olarak yapılmıştır. Pandemi süreci tedbirleri nedeniyle veriler elektronik anketlerle toplanmıştır. Veri toplama araçlarını dolduran 579 kişi araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında tanıtıcı bilgi formu, diyet davranışı formu, Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi- Kısa Formu ve Algılanan Stres Ölçeğinin dört maddelik formu kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların, %69.7’sinin sevdiği gıdaları daha fazla tükettiği, %70.4’ünün yemeklerden sonra atıştırma sıklığının arttığı, %74.8’inin çay ve kahve, %65.1’inin çikolata ve tatlı gibi şekerli gıda, %68.9’unun un ve unlu mamul ve %67.9’unun meyve tüketiminin arttığı belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların %54.1’inin, kadınların %56.3’ünün, erkeklerin ise %48.1’inin inaktif olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kadınların algılanan stres seviyesinin daha yüksek olduğu ve farkın anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur . Sonuç: Kısıtlamalar süresince sevilen gıdaların daha fazla tüketildiği, çalışmaya katılanların yarısına yakının, kadınların ise yarısından fazlasının tüm günü kapalı ortamda geçirdiği ve katılımcıların yarısından fazlasının inaktif olduğu bulunmuştur.
