    Kučiš, Vlasta ; Prpić, Hrvoje
    In the first part an overview of initial studies on the topic of the pandemic caused by the spread of the COVID-19 virus was presented. These studies were conducted in the early stages of the ... pandemic and they address various aspects of the impact of pandemic: knowledge and information assessments, risk perception, assessments of citizens’ willingness to adapt and change their lifestyle to prevent the spread of the virus, and the impact of the pandemic’s social implications on the mental health and well-being of citizens. The review of several studies was also presented, on several key points: social media as communication channel, impact of political discourse when informing on COVID-19 and problem with fake news and misinformation. In the second part, the results of our research were presented. The research was based on a questionnaire conducted on a sample of 1,010 adult citizens of Croatia. The aim was to determine which sources of information about the COVID-19 virus citizens trust the most, what kind of information they trust and what the indications are for long-term mental adjustment to life with the virus. The results showed that citizens are most inclined to trust their family and friends and to a lesser extent, doctors and experts. The citizens of the Republic of Croatia are generally not inclined to relativize the danger of the virus. They are also not inclined to believe that COVID-19 is merely a fabrication by the Government or the pharmaceutical industry. We also found very low confidence in media information about the virus. Citizens are still inclined to seek out information about the virus and show willingness for mental adaptation.
