Methods. For this research study, a scale has been devised based on the online event model designed as per digital public relations. In this context, the survey method, one of the quantitative research methods, has been used. Results. Research findings reveal that the higher online event driven awareness is, the more behavioural changes are in digital public relations; that women, when compared to men, are more responsive to digital public relations applications and have a better level of awareness in comparison; that 18-25 age group is more responsive with a higher level of awareness to digital public relations applications when compared to 26-33 age group; and that parents’ educational background makes no difference in this regard. Conclusions. In light of the research findings, it can be seen that digital public relations applications help to create awareness in terms of online events, and also pave the way for behavioural changes. In this context, it needs highlighting that digital public relations applications should be further improved in particular mat-ters, such as violence against women, in which creating awareness is crucial.
