The data were analyzed with the SPSS program. Results: As a result of the study, the CFS score (p=0.005) of the healthcare professionals who use the accommodation services arranged by the Ministry of Health for the pandemic was found to be high, and the STAI score (p=0.008) of the healthcare professionals who did not receive any psychological support and did not plan to quit their job was found to be low. Both CFS (p=0.002) and STAI (p=0.001) scores were found to be low in healthcare professionals who did not consider receiving any psychological support.
