Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every field as well as the consumer attitudes and behaviors regarding food safety. This study is a cross-sectional study in a screening model planned to determine the changes that the COVID-19 pandemic has made in the personal judgments, attitudes and behaviors of Bitlis Eren University academic and administrative staff on food safety. In the study, online survey method was used as a data collection tool. As a result of the study, the majority of the participants think that COVID-19 is not transmitted through food and that contamination is prevented by keeping the purchased products from outside such as markets and bazaar for at least eight hours. In the participants (66.1 %), it was observed that the time allocated to personal care and hygiene increased with the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that the importance given by the participants to food safety, agriculture, personal hygiene and sanitation has increased with the COVID-19 pandemic. The majority of the participants reported that with the COVID-19 pandemic, people fear of going without food and the importance of hygiene and sanitation rules in food businesses has increased. It has emerged that the concepts of agriculture, food safety, hygiene and sanitation gained value in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Özet

COVID-19 pandemisi her alanı etkilediği gibi gıda güvenliği ile ilgili tüketici tutum ve davranışlarını da etkilemiştir. Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemisinin Bitlis Eren Üniversitesi akademik ve idari personellerinin gıda güvenliği konusunda kişisel yargılarında, tutum ve davranışlarında yaptığı değişikliklerin belirlenmesi amacıyla planlanmış olup tarama modelinde keşisel bir araştırmadır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak çevrimiçi anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda katılımcıların çoğunluğu COVID-19’un gıdalarla bulaşmadığını, market ve pazar gibi dışarıdan satın alınan ürünleri en az sekiz saat bekletmekle bulaşmanın engellendiğini düşünmektedir. Katılımcılarda (% 66.1) kişisel bakım ve hijyene ayrılan zamanın COVID-19 pandemisi ile beraber artış gösterdiği görülmüştür. COVID-19 pandemisi ile katılımcıların gıda güvenliğine, tarıma, kişisel hijyen ve sanitasyona verdikleri önemin arttığı bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların çoğunluğu COVID-19 pandemisi ile insanlarda gıdasız kalma korkusu oluştuğunu, gıda işletmelerinde hijyen ve sanitasyon kurallarının öneminin arttığını bildirmiştir. COVID-19 pandemisinde tarım, gıda güvenliği ile hijyen ve sanitasyon kavramlarının değer kazandığı sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır.
