Comparison of anxiety in Covid-19 inpatients vs healthcare workers in the same ward and at the same time

Abstract

Aim: Demonstrating which population has the highest anxiety symptoms and its predictors is important for the coordination of psychiatric care and services. Hospitalized patients with Covid-19 and healthcare professionals caring for them are the two groups with the highest risk of psychiatric disorders during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We aimed to assess the state and trait anxiety levels of Covid-19 patients and healthcare professionals simultaneously in the same Covid-19 ward of a tertiary center hospital. Materials and Methods: Given the nature of this observational single-center study, purposive sampling of all patients and staff in the Covid-19 ward between 5-10 April 2020 was planned. The data was collected via an online survey using “Sociodemographic Form” and “State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)”. Results: The state anxiety levels of hospitalized patients with Covid-19 were significantly higher than healthcare workers in t-test (p = .012) however this was resolved in regression analysis (β = .029, t = .19, p = .85). Not being in a marital bond (p = .035) and having a lifetime psychiatric disorder (p = .002) were predictors of state anxiety; older age (p = .006), being female (p = .007) and having a lifetime psychiatric disorder (p = .002) were associated with trait anxiety scores in patients and healthcare workers in the Covid-19 ward. Conclusion: Having a lifetime psychiatric disorder was the common item for both state and trait anxiety of patients, doctors, and nurses in the Covid ward. Psychiatrists should be accessible in the Covid-19 ward primarily for individuals whom they evaluated or treated before the pandemic.
