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.
