Abstract

Objective: Describe the current situation and analyze some factors related to anxiety disorder among
healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and some related factors.
Subjects and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study involving 922 Saint Paul
Hospital staff members who willingly participated in the research. Anxiety disorder levels were
assessed using the GAD-7 scale. We examined relevant factors such as demographic characteristics
and the work environment of healthcare workers during the pandemic.
Results: The study found that the prevalence of anxiety disorder among medical staff at Saint Paul
General Hospital was 38.8%. Several factors were identified as significantly associated with higher
rates of anxiety disorder, including being male, single, having less than 10 years of service, working
more than 5 days per week, and working more than 8 hours per day.
Conclusion: The research revealed a relatively high prevalence of anxiety disorder (38.8%) among
healthcare workers at Saint Paul Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the study
highlighted that longer working hours, gender, and singer status were significant contributing factors
to the increased occurrence of anxiety disorder among healthcare workers.
