dc.description.abstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected the behavior of individuals on a global scale. This study empirically analyzed the relationship between the stress and anxiety of the COVID-19 pandemic, hygiene and protection measures of young individuals, online medical information search and cyberchondria, and online medical support and assistance. Cross-sectional data obtained from 662 online surveys conducted with Atatürk University Communication Faculty students in 2021 were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling. Study findings; The COVID-19 Pandemic revealed a positive and solid relationship (? = 0.70; t = 14.26) between Anxiety and Stress and Personal Hygiene and Protection Measures. Furthermore, a positive and robust relationship was found between COVID-19 Pandemic Anxiety and Stress and Online Medical Information Searching on the Internet (? = 0.42; t = 9.64), and it was also determined that there was a strong positive relationship between Online Medical Information Search on the Internet and Cyberchondria (? = 0.72; t = 15.07). Finally, a positive and robust relationship was found between Medical Support and Expert Assistance and COVID-19 Pandemic Anxiety and Stress (? = 0.45; t = 9.24). The findings show that young individuals intensively use online medical information searches during the COVID-19 pandemic. This situation shows that this global epidemic has increased the behavior of cyberchondria and directed young individuals to seek medical support and personal protection measures. In addition, it is seen that people with high anxiety levels develop cyberchondria behaviors to protect themselves from the virus.en_US
