Background and aims: Occupational and social exposures to COVID-19 are among the significant stressors that threaten the health of Healthcare workers (HCWs) in various dimensions. This study aimed to determine the relationship between Corona disease anxiety and the general health of health care workers in the summer of 2021.Methods: This is a descriptive correlational study. Sampling was done by the available method. Study samples included 170 HCWs. Data were collected using tools such as the Demographic Questionnaire, the Corona disease Anxiety Scale(C-19 AS) and the General Health Questionnaire. The data were collected using Porsline software (online). Statistical data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using the Kruskal-Wallis test, U Mann-Whitney test, Spearman correlation coefficient, and Stepwise Multiple Regression. The significance level was P<0.05.Results: There was a positive and significant relationship between Corona disease anxiety and general health (p<0.01), and the variables of physical anxiety (β coefficient = -0.233) and marital status (β coefficient = -0.147) had the highest regression effect on public health.
Conclusion:Health policymakers and managers of health care systems take preventive and curative measures such as providing psychological counseling and implementing training programs such as problem-solving skills training and resilience when necessary, especially for married healthcare workers to reduce the level of Corona disease anxiety.
