Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice towards the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its vaccines among pharmacy students in Turkey.
Material and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among pharmacy students aged 18 years and older. Data collected from April 27 to June 27, 2022, via an online self-reporting questionnaire developed and validated by the investigators. Descriptive statistics were performed to determine potentially associated factors with knowledge, attitudes, and practices scores of the students.
Result and Discussion: Among the pharmacy students, the majority was female (72.6%) and mean ± standard deviation of age was 23.17 ± 3.27 years. The mean ± standard deviation of knowledge, attitude and practice scores were 8.25 ± 1.27, 7.47 ± 2.95., and 7.20 ± 2.14, respectively. A statistically significant association was found between students who received higher knowledge scores and being a senior student or a students from governmental universities. In general, students had good knowledge and practices about COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines. However, their attitudes towards COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines was poor. These findinds were found to be similar to those health care students from other countries.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki eczacılık öğrencilerinin Yeni Koronavirüs Hastalığı 2019 (COVID-19) ve aşılarına yönelik bilgi, tutum ve uygulamalarını değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Eczacılık öğrencileri arasında 18 yaş ve üzeri olan bireylerle kesitsel bir çalışma yapılmıştır. 27 Nisan - 27 Haziran 2022 tarihleri arasında, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen ve valide edilen bir çevrimiçi kişisel bildirim anketi aracılığıyla veriler toplanmıştır. Öğrencilerin bilgi, tutum ve uygulama puanları ile potansiyel olarak ilişkili faktörleri belirlemek için tanımlayıcı istatistiksel analizler yapılmıştır.
Sonuç ve Tartışma: Ankete katılan eczacılık öğrencilerinin çoğunluğu kadındı (%72,6) ve ortalama ± standart sapma yaşı 23,17 ± 3,27 idi. Bilgi, tutum ve uygulama puanlarının ortalama ± standart sapması sırasıyla 8,25 ± 1,27, 7,47 ± 2,95 ve 7,20 ± 2,14'tür. Daha yüksek bilgi puanları alan öğrenciler ile son sınıf öğrencisi veya devlet üniversitelerinden öğrenci olmak arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Genel olarak, öğrencilerin COVID-19 hakkında iyi bilgi ve uygulamaları vardı. Ancak, COVID-19'a karşı tutumları zayıftı. Bu bulguların diğer ülkelerden gelen sağlık öğrencilerine benzer olduğu bulunmuştur.
