To determine the effect of COVID-19 fear on the stress of the individuals, and to investigate the mediating role of cyberchondria on this effect. The population of the present study consisted of the individuals 18 years of age or older who were resident in the Bursa province of Turkey. The research enrolled 425 individuals who agreed to complete the questionnaire. The questionnaire, which consists of four sections including, (1) sociodemographic characteristics; (2) fear of COVID-19 scale; (3) short cyberchondria scale; and (4) perceived stress scale, was used to collect data in the study. Descriptive statistical methods and path analysis were used for data analysis. Fear of COVID-19 has a significant effect on perceived stress/distress which is mediated by cyberchondria. However, fear of COVID-19 does not have a significant effect on perceived insufficient self-efficacy. Similarly, cyberchondria does not have a mediating role in this effect. Reliable and accurate information resources should be presented about COVID-19; the individuals should adopt behaviors that would improve their health; and getting professional help should be encouraged for those with psychological problems. Otherwise, fear of COVID-19 causes perceived stress/distress to the individuals.

BACKGROUND: For a successful treatment outcome, the components of the treatment process are very important. The patient-physician relationship plays a key role in the successful therapeutic process and effective health service delivery. The patient's compliance with the treatment directly affects the success of the treatment. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the effect of the patient-physician relationship on compliance with the treatment and to determine whether shared decision-making has an mediating role in this effect. PATIENT INVOLVEMENT: Most of the study participants (55%) were younger than 35 and their average age was 30. The majority of the participants have an associate degree or higher education. METHOD: The study used a 4-part survey form as the data collection tool. The sample in this study consisted of 399 participants. To analyze the obtained data, Structural Equation Modeling was used by employing the Smart PLS3 software. RESULTS: The results of the study show that the patient-physician relationship positively affects the patient's compliance with the treatment and shared decision-making. In addition, shared decision-making positively affects the patient's compliance with the treatment. The effect of the patient-physician relationship on compliance with treatment was strengthened through shared decision-making.
