This study aims to examine patients' preoperative COVID-19 fear levels, hygiene behaviours, postoperative personal protective clinical measures, and their correlations with each other.
This research is a cross-sectional type of study.
The study sample consisted of 131 patients hospitalized in the general surgery inpatient ward of a hospital in Turkey. The sample was determined by G-Power analysis. The data were collected in two stages in a research hospital between 1 April 2021 and 1 March 2022. Sociodemographic and Clinical Information Form, COVID-19 Fear Scale, COVID-19 Hygiene Scale were used before surgery; COVID-19 personal protective clinical measures questionnaire was used after surgery. Descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA test, Wilcoxon test and Spearman correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data.
It was determined that preoperative COVID-19 fear levels, hygiene behaviours, and the personal protective clinical measures developed after the surgery were above moderate. A statistically significant and positive correlation was found between the COVID-19 Fear Scale and the preoperative COVID-19 Hygiene Scale and postoperative COVID-19 personal protective clinical prevention questionnaire total score and sub-dimension score averages. Patients' COVID-19 fears, preoperative and postoperative hygiene behaviours are statistically significantly associated with each other at a low level; postoperative clinical precautions and preoperative hygiene behaviours are statistically significantly associated with each other at a high level.
The results of this study show that patients are terrified of COVID-19 while they are hospitalized due to surgical intervention during the pandemic process, and they increase their hygiene measures. It is thought that the results of the study will guide the regulation of clinical measures, patient education, and nursing care to be developed for patients during pandemic periods.

本研究旨在检查患者术前的 COVID-19 恐惧水平、卫生行为、术后个人防护临床措施及其相互之间的相关性。
本研究为横断面研究。
研究样本由土耳其一家医院普通外科住院病房的 131 名患者组成。样本通过 G-Power 分析确定。数据于 2021 年 4 月 1 日至 2022 年 3 月 1 日在一家研究医院分两个阶段收集。在手术前使用社会人口统计学和临床信息表、COVID-19 恐惧量表、COVID-19 卫生量表；手术后使用 COVID-19 个人防护临床措施问卷。使用描述性统计、独立 t 检验、方差分析检验、Wilcoxon 检验和 Spearman 相关分析来评估数据。
发现术前 COVID-19 恐惧水平、卫生行为以及手术后制定的个人防护临床措施处于中度以上。COVID-19 恐惧量表与术前 COVID-19 卫生量表以及术后 COVID-19 个人防护临床预防问卷总分和子维度得分平均值之间存在统计学上显著的正相关。患者的 COVID-19 恐惧、术前和术后卫生行为之间存在统计学上显著的低度相关；术后临床预防措施和术前卫生行为之间存在统计学上显著的高度相关。
本研究结果表明，在大流行期间，由于手术干预，患者在住院期间对 COVID-19 感到恐惧，并增加了他们的卫生措施。研究结果将有助于为大流行期间的患者制定临床措施、患者教育和护理计划。
