This study aims to analyze nurses' knowledge levels and attitudes towards COVID-19 during the second peak period of the COVID-19 epidemic in Turkey and test the structural relationship between knowledge levels and attitudes with structural equation modeling. The hospital-based cross-sectional study design was employed in the study. The research population consisted of nurses working in three different private hospitals in Istanbul, with international quality and accreditation certificates. The data were collected by the researchers themselves by using face-to-face and online survey techniques. The total number of questionnaires that were evaluated and used in the analysis of the data is 390. SPSS and AMOS package programs were used in the analysis of the data. The quantitative research method was used. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, ANOVA test, and structural equation modeling were applied to the data. Structural equation analysis revealed the direct effect of the nurses' COVID-19 knowledge level on attitude toward COVID-19 has an acceptable index of fit. Furthermore, the relationship between the level of knowledge toward COVID-19 and the female gender was found to be significant. In general, the level of knowledge of the nurses participating in the study about COVID-19 was found to be high, and it was observed that they had a more optimistic attitude towards preventing COVID-19 and keeping the process under control. An increase in knowledge about COVID-19 has led to an increase in the behavior of a more optimistic attitude towards prevention and control of COVID-19.

The population of the study consisted of patients over the age of 60 and their relatives who received health services from pharmacies operating in Sakarya city center. The data were collected personally by the researcher using the face-to-face survey technique. The total number of questionnaires evaluated and used in data analysis is 680. SPSS and AMOS package programs were used in the analysis of the data. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, ANOVA analysis and structural equation modeling were applied to the data. Elderly individuals had a high level of knowledge and preventive practices regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, it was found that the preventive practices for the COVID-19 pandemic were higher in elderly women than in old men, regular drug users compared to non-users, and those with moderate general health status compared to those with low levels. Structural equation analysis revealed that the positive relationship between COVID-19 knowledge level and preventive practices for the COVID-19 outbreak has an acceptable fit index. It has been observed that there is a reciprocal and positive relationship between COVID-19 knowledge level and preventive practices towards COVID-19.

PurposeThis study aims to reveal both the effect of the perception of COVID-19 on avoidance behaviors and the mediating role of the perception of personal control in this relationship. COVID-19 emerged in December 2019 and since then, it has spread globally in a short period and has affected people socially, economically and culturally.Design/methodology/approachThe data for the research was collected from 418 participants during COVID-19, through online questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed through AMOS and SPSS software using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe research results show that some perceptions of COVID-19 affect avoidance behavior and that personal control has a mediating role. It has also been found that gender plays a moderating role in the relationship between COVID-19 and avoidance behavior. It has been found that women are especially more sensitive compared to men in perceiving COVID-19. This study also found that perception of COVID-19 changes depending on income.Practical implicationsAfter the pandemic is over, people will get in contact with each other less than before, and trade will change accordingly. People will avoid shopping in crowded places, and consumer behaviors will undergo different changes. All of these results considered, it is expected that avoidance behavior will cause some permanent behavioral changes in consumers.Originality/valueThe study answers the critical question about the effect of the perception of COVID-19 on avoidance behavior. Furthermore, the role of income level, gender and education in this relationship will be highlighted.
