INTRODUCTION: The measures taken during the Covid-19 pandemic have also changed people's lifestyles.This study aimed to evaluate individuals' mental states and physical activity levels during the pandemic process and to reveal the effects of these conditions on their quality of life.
METHODS: The research was conducted with 175 individuals who presented at the Family Medicine clinics of a Training and Research Hospital and agreed to participate after obtaining ethical approval from the ethics committee. Participants were administered the Participant Information Collection Form, Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short form) (IPAQ) through face-to-face interviews. The level of statistical significance was set at p<0.05.

RESULTS: Out of the 175 participants, 48.6% are female, and 40.0% are married. The average age is determined to be 39.21�13.66. Approximately 44.6% of individuals have chronic illnesses, and 42.9% use medication regularly. Among the participants, 43.4% have reported having had a Covid-19 infection. The average scores of BA� and BD� for those who had Covid-19 were significantly higher, and SF-36 subscale scores were significantly lower compared to those who did not have the infection (p<0.05). Individuals with chronic illnesses and those who use medication regularly have higher BA� and BD� scores (p<0.001). There is a significant negative correlation between individuals' BA� and BD� scores and SF-36 scores (p<0.05). A weak, negative correlation is found between BD� scores and the 'Total Physical Activity' score (p=0.003).
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In our study, it has been observed that the mental states and quality of life of individuals who have had Covid-19 are adversely affected compared to those who have not. Individuals should be informed about lifestyle changes and healthy living behaviors appropriate to the changing conditions of the pandemic.
