“…Our findings significantly link with previous studies. 30,31 For example, a multicenter online survey conducted in China to assess the mental health of healthcare professionals revealed that 44.7% had signs of anxiety. [32][33][34] On the other hand, only 15.7% of the respondents in global research carried out in Singapore and India displayed anxiety symptoms.…”

Background and Objective Anxiety influences job burnout and health. This study aimed to establish a nomogram to predict the anxiety status of medical staff during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods A total of 600 medical members were randomized 7:3 and divided into training and validation sets. The data was collected using a questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis and Akaike information criterion (AIC) were applied to investigate the risk factors for anxiety. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated to establish a nomogram. Results Participation time (OR=44.28, 95% CI=13.13~149.32), rest time (OR=38.50, 95% CI=10.43~142.19), epidemic prevention area (OR=10.16, 95% CI=3.51~29.40), epidemic prevention equipment (OR=15.24, 95% CI=5.73~40.55), family support (OR=9.63, 95% CI=3.55~26.11), colleague infection (OR=6.25, 95% CI=2.18~19.11), and gender (OR=3.30, 95% CI=1.15~9.47) were the independent risk factors ( P <0.05) for anxiety in medical staff. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the training and validation sets were 0.987 and 0.946, respectively. The decision curve’s net benefit shows the nomogram’s clinical utility. Conclusion The nomogram established in this study exhibited an excellent ability to predict anxiety status with sufficient discriminatory power and calibration. Our findings provide a protocol for predicting and identifying anxiety status in medical staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Every day, the Xiangyang Central Hospital, the largest grade-A hospital in the Northwest Hubei province, more than 200 patients with fever were received daily. Working stress may have a direct effect on anxiety and an indirect effect on anxiety through a sense of control ( Ripp et al, 2020 ; Saffari et al, 2021 ; Hou et al, 2022 ). As the number of people infected with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 rises, healthcare workers face not only increased workloads but also the risk of infection.…”

ObjectivesIn the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical staff in China were more likely to suffer from psychological problems. By investigating the actual state of psychological stress response of medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak, the study discussed and analyzed the influencing factors of different psychological states in order to prevent the occurrence of serious adverse emotional events in medical staff.MethodsIn the Xiangyang Central Hospital, 1,466 medical staff members have adopted the Psychological Questionnaire for Emergencies Events of Public Health (PQEEPH), which includes questions about depression, neurasthenia, fear, obsessive anxiety, and hypochondriac disorders. The questionnaire also asks about gender, age, education level, health, department, position, and whether personnel exposure history correlation analysis has been confirmed.ResultsThe survey revealed that 55% had depression, 26.7% had neurasthenia, 95% had fear, 47.9% had obsessive anxiety, and 69.3% had hypochondria. The effects of depression and hypochondriac emotional stress were significantly greater in female workers than in male workers (p < 0.05). Those with higher educational levels had a stronger emotional stress response. Medical professionals with or without contact histories, those who were suspected or confirmed, as well as those in various positions and departments, all demonstrated significant differences in their stress emotions (p < 0.05).ConclusionEmotional stress affected medical professionals, especially doctors and nurses, who were on the front lines of clinical work in the face of significant public health emergencies. Therefore, to reduce the stress burden and enhance mental health on medical staff, hospitals were suggested to improve their emergency management practices. In addition, the sensitization knowledge training and psychological counseling for front-line clinical staff should be strengthened.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between Covid-19 anxiety experienced by patients receiving hemodialysis treatment during the pandemic process and the perception of control of Covid-19. Method: The population of the study, which was conducted with a descriptive design, consisted of 165 hemodialysis patients followed in a hemodialysis center affiliated with a hospital in Erzurum. (N=165) After obtaining the necessary permissions, the study was conducted with 123 patients between January and March 2022. The data of study were collected with the Personal Information Form, the Covid-19 Anxiety Scale, and the Control of Covid-19 Perception Scale. The data were evaluated using SPSS 22.0 statistical program on the computer, using six different statistical analysis methods, mainly the Kruskal Wallis H test and the Tamhane Post Hoc test. Results: The mean score of the Perception of Control of Covid-19 Scale was 2.40±1.02 and the mean score of the Covid-19 Anxiety Scale was 2.71±0.87. The correlation values between the Covid-19 Anxiety Scale and the Covid-19 Control Perception Scale scores were found to be insignificant at the p>0.05 significance level. Conclusion: It is recommended to increase the number of studies examining the relationship between Covid-19 Anxiety and the perception of control of Covid-19.
