Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge level of high school students about CCHF disease.
Materials and Methods: The population of the study, which was planned in descriptive type, consisted of 530 students in the first, second, third and fourth grades of high school, and 54.9% (n:291) of the students were reached. Verbal consent was obtained from the students and they were asked to fill out the questionnaire consisting of 15 questions. Data were calculated using mean, frequency and percentage in SPSS database.
Results: In the study, although the students knew that the transmission was by tick contact, they did not have enough information about how the transmission was, what to do in case of tick contact and the symptoms of the disease
Conclusion:. It is necessary to increase the knowledge level of students in order to prevent contagion. In order to increase the level of knowledge, the deficiencies of the students should be determined and the necessary training should be planned.
