Anxiety and Depression Levels of Healthcare Professionals during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Related Factors

Öz

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the anxiety and depression levels of healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and related factors. Material and Methods: The study group involved the doctors and nurses working in hospitals where COVID-19 patients were treated. An online questionnaire was used to assess the anxiety and depression levels and associated factors. The questionnaire consisted of a socio-demographic section, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Results: A total of 446 healthcare professionals participated in the study. The depression, state, and trait anxiety scores were clinically significant in 18.6%, 60.5%, and 69% of the participants, respectively. Being a woman, a nurse, prolonged exposure to COVID-19-related TV programs, and lack of physical exercise were associated with higher anxiety scores. We also observed that younger age and a history of mental illness prior to the pandemic increased the levels of depression and/or anxiety in healthcare professionals. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals face with high risk for impairment in psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. The low rate of admissions for mental illnesses despite high rates of anxiety and depression symptoms in our study suggests that the psychological support needs of healthcare professionals should be taken into account during the pandemic.
