Abstract
COVID-19 salgını ile birlikte bireylerin sağlık davranışlarının önemi bir kez daha anlaşılmıştır. Aşırı kilolu, sigara içen ve düzenli egzersiz yapmayan bireylerin salgından daha çok olumsuz etkilendiği bilinmektedir. Bu süreçte sağlık davranışlarını iyileştirebilecek yaklaşımların belirlenmesine ihtiyaç olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada bu yaklaşımlardan biri olabileceğini düşündüğümüz Hasta Aktiflik Düzeyini (HAD) ele aldık ve HAD'ın sağlık davranışları ile ilişkisini inceledik. Kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Kahramanmaraş ilindeki üniversite hastanesine gelen 402 hasta oluşturmuştur. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve t-testi tekniği kullanılmıştır. HAD skorları yüksek olan hastaların, en düşük HAD skorlarına sahip hastalara kıyasla, daha fazla egzersiz yapma ve daha az sigara kullanma olasılıkları anlamlı derecede daha yüksekti. Benzer şekilde, hasta aktivasyonu yüksek olan bireylerin daha az kilolu olduğu bulundu. Bu veriler ışığında, hasta aktiflik düzeyinin artırılmasının, bireylerin iyilik hallerinin iyileştirilmesi için ülkeler tarafından çok önemli bir politik araç olarak görülmesi gerektiği ifade edilebilir. Hastalar için broşürler ve eğitim videoları hazırlamak, aktiflik düzeyini artırmak için önemli bir etkiye sahip olabilir.

Abstract
The importance of health behaviors was once again clearly understood during the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals who are overweight, smokers and do not exercise regularly were affected much more negatively by the epidemic. In this process, there is a need to identify approaches that can improve health behaviors. In this study, we evaluated the patient activation measure (PAM), which we think may be one of these approaches and we examined PAM's association with health behaviors. The convenience sampling method were used. 402 patients who came to the university hospital in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey formed the sample of the study. Descriptive statistics and t-test technique were used. Patients with high PAM scores were significantly more likely to perform more exercise and use less smoked, compared to patients with the lowest PAM scores. Similarly, it was found that individuals with high patient activation weighed less. In the light of these data, it can be stated that increasing patient activation should be considered as very significant political instrument by countries for improving the well-being of individuals. Preparing leaflets and educational videos for patients could have a significant impact to increase the level of activation.
