Özet: In order to reduce the speed of the epidemic's spread, it is important that individuals have individual behaviors to protect themselves against an epidemic threat. Action plans of health authorities should be prepared by focusing on these behaviors. At the same time, people's perceptions, beliefs, and motivations should be taken into account. In order to maintain personal protective behavior in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to use learning models focused on health education and should be supported by encouraging social media, immediate environment, communication tools, and environmental regulation. Thus, acquired individual behavior changes can cause changes that affect the whole society.
