COVID-19 has affected many countries in the world and has been known as one of the fast-spreading viruses in recent history.
Our aim is to reveal the level of anxiety and burnout, attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors of healthcare professionals about COVID-19 in Turkey.
The individuals included in the study answered seven questions containing demographic information, 27 questions determining their views and perspectives on COVID-19. Anxiety level was measured by Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI), and State Anxiety Inventory (SAI); burnout was measured by Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI).
We included 66 health staff (50 female, 16 male) whose mean age was 31.71±5.18 years (22-46 ranged). Twenty-two (33.3%) of the participants worked on the COVID-19 frontline while 44 (66.6%) of them worked on usual wards.We found that participants' anxiety was at a moderate level in BAI (mean: 14.00±12.66). The mean of the SAI was 49.93±13.06. MBI subscales were low. We found that there was a significant difference in BAI between COVID-19 frontline healthcare professionals and those who worked on the usual wards (p = 0.01).
It is important to consider the level of anxiety and burnout in all healthcare professionals and to help them to protect their mental health.
COVID-19 已在全球许多国家蔓延，被称为近代史上传播速度最快的病毒之一。
我们旨在揭示土耳其医护人员对 COVID-19 的焦虑和倦怠水平、态度、想法和行为。
研究对象回答了包含人口统计学信息的七个问题，以及 27 个关于 COVID-19 的观点和看法的问题。焦虑程度通过贝克焦虑量表（BAI）和状态焦虑量表（SAI）进行测量；倦怠程度通过 Maslach 倦怠量表（MBI）进行测量。
我们共纳入 66 名医护人员（50 名女性，16 名男性），平均年龄为 31.71±5.18 岁（22-46 岁）。22 名（33.3%）参与者在 COVID-19 一线工作，44 名（66.6%）在普通病房工作。我们发现，参与者的 BAI 焦虑程度处于中度水平（平均：14.00±12.66）。SAI 的平均分为 49.93±13.06。MBI 各分量表得分较低。我们发现，COVID-19 一线医护人员和普通病房医护人员的 BAI 评分存在显著差异（p=0.01）。
考虑所有医护人员的焦虑和倦怠水平，并帮助他们保护心理健康非常重要。
