Sleep in all periods is a biological need for all living things. This study was planned to
examine the insomnia levels and health anxiety of the students during the Covid-19
pandemic period. The research is a descriptive study. The universe of the study consisted
of 800 students studying at Dokuz Eylül University Vocational School of Health Services
in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. When evaluating the study data,
descriptive findings were expressed as percentage, mean, standard deviation and median.
67.0% of the students are between the ages of 18-20, 28.1% are between the ages of 21-
23 and 4.9% are between the ages of 24 and above. The 73.6% of the students are
females and 26.4% are males. While total insomnia mean score of the students is 15.0 ±
5.4, the mean score for health anxiety is 19.6 ± 11.2.A moderate, positive, statistically
significant difference was found between the insomnia level of the students and their
health anxiety (r=.570; p=.000<.001). As a result, it has been determined that the health
technician students have experienced moderate insomnia and high levels of anxiety
during the COVID 19 pandemic. In addition, there is a significant relationship between
insomnia and health anxiety. It has been found that as the level of insomnia increases,
health anxiety also increases.
