The collected data were analyzed usingdescriptive statistics, t-test, x2, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression. Results: The partici-pants’ COVID-19-related knowledge was 3.67±0.85 and their COVID-19 prevention behaviors were 4.60±0.36. COVID-19 prevention behaviors had a positive relationship (r=.15, p=.031) with COVID-19-related knowledge. Factors affecting COVID-19 prevention behaviors were occupation (administrative staff), age, sex (male),COVID-19-related knowledge, and subjective health (good).
