Yöntem: Bu tanımlayıcı kesitsel çalışma, 10 Şubat-10 Haziran 2022 tarihleri arasında İstanbul’da bir vakıf üniversitesinin Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu’nda 2021-2022 eğitim ve öğretim yılı güz yarıyılında öğrenim gören 754 öğrenci ile gerçekleşmiştir. Veriler; “Genel Bilgi Formu” ve “COVID-19 Salgınına Yönelik Algı ve Tutumları Değerlendirme Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS 21.0 programı ile yapılmıştır ve %95 güven aralığında çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada etki düzeyi 0,20 olarak hesaplanırken, Power (1-β err prob) değeri 0,88 olarak bulunmuştur. COVID-19 Salgınına Yönelik Algı ve Tutumları puanlarının demografik özelliklere göre farklılık gösterme durumunun analiz edilmesi için t testi ve ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. ANOVA testinde fark çıkması durumunda çoklu karşılaştırma LSD testi ile analiz edilmiştir.
