Coronavirus phobia and burnout in healthcare workers during the pandemic process

Abstract

Aim: During the pandemic process, healthcare workers are in a very high-risk group and constitute the group most affected by the process. This study was conducted to determine coronavirus phobia and burnout in healthcare workers during the pandemic process. Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 337 healthcare workers between June and December 2021. Research data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Coronavirus 19 Phobia Scale, and the Coronavirus Burnout Scale. Results: The mean age of participants in the study was 31.7±8.5; 69.97% of them were female, and 45.7% of them were nurses. The mean score of the Coronavirus Phobia Scale of the healthcare professionals was 49.46±15.83, and the mean score of the Coronavirus Burnout Scale was determined as 25.65±10.50. It was concluded that there was a statistically significant positive correlation between the Coronavirus Phobia Scale of healthcare workers and the Coronavirus Burnout Scale (p<0.05). It was determined that coronavirus phobia and burnout were higher in women and in those who worked in the intensive care unit. Coronavirus phobia was higher in healthcare workers who had chronic diseases and whose family members were not diagnosed with COVID-19 (p<0.05). In addition, it was determined that coronavirus phobia and burnout were higher in nurses in doctors (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the coronavirus phobia and burnout levels of healthcare workers were low, and the burnout increased as the phobia level increased.
