Abstract
Purpose: To determine Covid-19 phobia levels and related factors in pandemic hospital staff during the pandemic.
Methods: 361 staff were assessed between 2020-07-14 and 2020-10-15. A form consisting of 28 queries and the Covid-19 Phobia-Scale (C19P-S) were administered to determine sociodemographic; working and living conditions.
Results: Participants’ mean age was 39.82±7.37, 69.8% were female, 74.2% were married; 14.4% were physicians, 41.6% were nurses, 8% were other health care staff, and 36% were other personnel. The C19P-S scores were higher among women, those whose monthly income is lower than their expense, those who live 4 people in household, those who have a chronic illness, those on whose working conditions pandemic has a large and extreme impact, the Y-SH staff, those who house in another place other than their home for quarantine, and in those who have patients with Covid-19 among family, relatives or neighbours.
Conclusion: Among the pandemic hospital staff, women, those who have economic problems, those who live in relatively crowded households, those with chronic illnesses, those who were relocated in the hospital, those who stay in another place, other than his/her home, for quarantine and those who have relatives infected with Covid-19 are at high risk of developing coronaphobia.
