摘要：The purpose of this research; The aim of this study is to examine the effects of athletes on coronavirus anxiety states and sleep quality according to various variables. A total of 386 volunteer athletes, 242 women and 144 men, who are actively involved in sports, participated in the research. Research data were collected through a questionnaire. The survey questions were delivered to the participants by the researcher through face-to-face interview method and online survey. As data collection tools; The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale and Sleep Quality Index (SQI) and the Personal Information Form prepared by the researcher were used. The obtained data were analyzed with the SPSS package program. In addition to descriptive statistics; The normality structure of the distributions was examined through skewness and kurtosis tests. According to the results of the normal distribution analysis, it was decided to compare the data with parametric tests. When comparing the data between two variables, the t test was applied in independent groups; In the comparison of three or more variables, one-way analysis of variance was applied. In addition, Pearson Moments Correlation test and regression analysis were applied. When the findings were evaluated in general, it was determined that the marital status, occupation, age of starting sports and smoking status of the athletes did not make a difference between both sleep quality and coronavirus anxiety status. However, it is seen that the gender and income level of the athletes significantly differentiate their coronavirus anxiety states. At the same time, it was determined that the age, sports branch and education level of the athletes differentiated the sleep quality. We can say that the coronavirus anxiety state of the athletes is positively related to the sleep quality, so as the coronavirus anxiety levels increase, their sleep quality decreases. For this reason, in the planning to be made for the psychological problems of the athletes during the pandemic period, it is necessary to determine the priorities by taking this situation into account. In addition to training, studies can be carried out to provide athletes with psychoeducation on anxiety management and to increase sleep quality.
