Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türkiye'deki COVID-19 virüsünün yeni varyasyonlarının görüldüğü dönemde üniversite lisans öğrencilerinin COVID-19 korku düzeylerini, COVID-19 bulaşabilirlik algılarını ve aşı olma niyetlerini değerlendirmek ve COVID-19 korkusunun aşı olma niyeti üzerine etkisinde COVID-19 bulaşabilirlik algısının aracılık rolünü tespit etmektir.Araştırmada üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde online temelli kesitsel araştırma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini bir devlet üniversitenin tüm lisans öğrencileri oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada kolayda örnekleme yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Veriler online anket tekniği kullanılarak 557 öğrenciden toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 23 ve AMOS 26 paket programları kullanılmıştır.Araştırmanın bulguları, üniversite öğrencilerinin büyük çoğunluğunun COVID-19 korku düzeylerinin ve COVID-19 bulaşabilirlik algılarının yüksek olduğunu ve aşı olma niyetlerinin olumlu yönde arttığını ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, çalışmanın ampirik sonucu COVID-19 korku düzeyi attıkça, COVID-19 aşı olma niyetinin de olumlu yönde arttığını ortaya koymuştur. Bunun yanı sıra COVID-19 bulaşabilirlik algısının, COVID-19 korkusu ile aşı olma niyeti arasındaki ilişkide önemli derecede dolaylı bir etkiye sahip olduğu ve tam bir arabuluculuk ettiği tespit edilmiştir.Bu araştırma, artan COVID-19 korku düzeyinin yüksek COVID-19 bulaşabilirlik algısı yoluyla aşı olma niyetini olumlu yönde artırdığını ortaya koymuştur. Dolayısıyla artan COVID-19 korku düzeyi ve yüksek COVID-19 bulaşabilirlik algısı, olumlu yönde artan aşı olma niyeti ile önemli ölçüde ilişkili bulunmuştur.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the COVID-19 fear levels, COVID-19 infectability perceptions, and intention to get vaccinated of university undergraduate students during the period when new variations of the COVID-19 virus are seen in Turkey. Along with, is to determine the mediating role of COVID-19 infectability perception with the effect of fear of COVID-19 on the intention to get vaccinated. In the research, it was used an online-based cross-sectional research design on university students. The universe of the research consisted of all undergraduate students of a state university. It was preferred the convenience sampling method in the study. The researchers collected data from 557 students using the online questionnaire technique. Researchers used IBM SPSS Statistic Base 23 V and AMOS package programs in the analysis of the data. The study's findings revealed that most university students had high COVID-19 fear levels and COVID-19 infectability perceptions, and their intention to be vaccinated increased positively. In addition, the empirical result of the study revealed that as the fear level of COVID-19 increased, the purpose to be immunized for COVID-19 increased positively. In addition, it was determined that the perception of COVID-19 infectability had a significant indirect effect and fully mediated the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and intention to get vaccinated. This research revealed that increasing COVID-19 fear level positively increases the intention to get vaccinated through the perception of high COVID-19 infectability. Therefore, increased COVID-19 fear level and high COVID-19 infectability perception were positively correlated with increased intention to get vaccinated.
