Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the the knowledge level of aged 8-12 years children about Covid-19 and protection measures. Material and Methods: The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 323 children aged 8-12 years. The data were collected online with Descriptive Characteristics Form and the Information Level Form for Covid-19 and Protection Measures prepared by the researchers, and were shown with number, percentage, mean, standard deviation and chi-square analysis. Results: The mean age of the children 9.15 ± 1.28 and 54.8% were girls. 63.2% of the children stated that they learned information about Covid-19 from television. It was found that 90.1% of children stated that Covid-19 changed their hygiene habits, 80.2% of them stated that the most effective measure to protect against Covid-19 was wearing a mask, 99.4% paid more attention to hand hygiene. It has been determined that compliance with hygiene and protection measures is higher in girls and those who have had Covid-19 infection in their family. Conclusion: It has been determined that the majority of children have information about Covid 19 and protection measures and pay attention to wearing masks and hand hygiene. Children, who are an important group in terms of carrying and transmitting the infection, should ensure the continuity of their adaptation to protection measures by eliminating their missing information on the subject.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma 8-12 yaş çocukların Covid-19 ve korunma önlemleri hakkında bilgi düzeyini belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmaya, 8-12 yaş arası 323 çocuk katılmıştır. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu ve Covid-19 ve Korunma Önlemlerine Yönelik Bilgi Düzeyi Formu ile toplanmış, sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma ve ki-kare analizi ile gösterilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan çocukların yaş ortalamaları 9.15±1.28 ve %54.8’i kızdır. Çocukların %63.2’si Covid-19 ile ilgili bilgileri televizyondan öğrendiğini ifade etmiştir. Çocukların %90.1’i Covid-19’un hijyen alışkanlıklarını değiştirdiğini, %80.2’i Covid-19’dan korunmada en etkili önlemin maske takmak olduğunu, %99.4’ü el hijyenine daha çok dikkat ettiğini belirtmiştir. Hijyen ve korunma önlemlerine uyumun kız çocuklarında ve ailesinde Covid-19 enfeksiyonu geçirenlerde daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Çocukların çoğunluğunun Covid-19 ve korunma önlemleri hakkında bilgi sahibi olduğu, maske takma ve el hijyenine dikkat ettikleri belirlenmiştir. Enfeksiyonu taşıma ve bulaştırma açısından önemli bir grup olan çocukların konu hakkındaki eksik bilgilerinin giderilerek korunma önlemlerine uyumlarının sürekliliği sağlanmalıdır.
