Özet
The main purpose of this study was to analyze the knowledge levels and fear levels of society regarding the COVID-19 outbreak and to test the structural relationship between knowledge level and fear level with structural equation modelling. The population of the research consisted of people between the ages of 18-65 in the central population of Bartın and Karabük provinces. The data were collected by online questionnaire technique. The total number of questionnaires evaluated and used in data analysis is 790. SPSS 26 and AMOS 24 package programs were used in the analysis of the data. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, ANOVA test and structural equation modelling were applied. The community's level of knowledge regarding COVID? 19 outbreak was high. In addition, women's levels of fear related to the COVID-19 outbreak were found to be higher. Structural equation analysis revealed that the positive relationship between COVID-19 knowledge level and COVID-19 fear level had an acceptable fit index. However, no significant relationship was found between participants' age, education level, jobs, presence of chronic disease, and hospital visits after the COVID-19 outbreak. It has been observed that there is a reciprocal and positive relationship between the level of knowledge of COVID-19 and the level of fear of COVID-19.
