Data Analysis
The Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows (SPSS) 20.0 program was used to analyze the data. The characteristics of the students and the distribution of the mean scale scores were analyzed using numbers, percentages, and mean ± standard deviation values. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationships between the perception of the reliability of health information sources and their use. Simple linear regression analyzes were used to determine the effects of fear of COVID-19 on the perceptions of the reliability and the use of health information sources.
