Aim:The research was carried out to determine the effect of COVID-19 phobia on patient care behavior in midwives and nurses working in the hospital. Methods:The research is descriptive and correlational and was conducted with 200 midwives-nurses working in a hospital located in the Southeast between 1-30 April 2021. "Descriptive Information Form", "Caring Behaviors Scale-30" and "COVID-19 Phobia Scale" were used to collect data. Data were collected by the researcher through face-to-face interviews with the participants in a suitable environment. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test and Pearson correlation test were used to evaluate the data. Results:The mean age of the participants participating in the research is 35.50±6.22 (min23-max50). 39% of the participants are midwives and 61% are nurses. The mean scores of the midwives and nurses on the COVID-19 phobia scale were 57.10±15.52 and 59.72±12.15, respectively. The total mean scores of the care behavior scale of midwives and nurses were 129. 25±23.11 and 127.1917±17.53, respectively. In the correlation analysis, it was determined that there was no significant relationship between COVID-19 phobia in midwives and the Caring Behavior p=0.697), while there was a weak and negative correlation between the COVID-19 phobia in nurses and the Caring Behaviors Scale-30 (r=-0.289, p=0.001). Conclusion:It was determined that COVID-19 phobia did not affect care behaviors in midwives, but statistically significantly negatively affected nurses.
