Anahtar Kelimeler: Anksiyete, COVİD-19, damgalanma, depresyon, saǧlık çalışanları ABSTRACT Introduction: The COVİD-19 outbreak has resulted in huge psychological distress, especially for people working under risky conditions, such as healthcare workers. Being female, working with close contact with patients with COVİD-19 and having a psychiatric disorder history were risk factors for psychological distress. The healthcare workers with significantly higher depression, anxiety, and stress scores described having less amount of personal protective equipment, lower support from their supervisors, and more unsafe working conditions. To minimize the psychological impact, additional risk factors such as having a previous psychiatric disorder, working under unsafe conditions, and stigmatization should be taken into account and a more supportive and safer environment should be provided.
