Fear of COVID-19 and hygiene behaviors: a study of secondary school students in İstanbul
No significant relationship was noted between the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) scores and hygiene behaviors of secondary school students. Significantly higher total and subdimension HBS scores were noted in students whose mothers were retired or employed than in those whose mothers were housewives. These findings suggest that maternal employment status may play an influential role in the hygiene behaviors of students.
