- Abstract
The aim of the study was to analyze the fear of Covid-19 in healthcare professionals during the Covid-19 pandemic. Crosssectional study, whose data collection took place through a questionnaire addressing Covid-19's fear and working conditions, in addition to sociodemographic conditions, behavioral habits and anthropometric profile, available on google forms from September to October 2020. Descriptive analysis was used to estimate the prevalence of the outcome variable and the association was verified by bivariate analysis considering p <0.05. 210 health professionals were interviewed, most of whom were female (75.7%), had partners (71.4%), were non-white (57.6%), had residency in the Primary Care area (50.6%), worked for more than 5 years (95.7%), and had another type of contractual modality (61.4%). The fear of covid-19 was reported by about 79% of the interviewees and it was associated with marital status (p = 0.029), shorter time in primary care (p = 0.011) and 40 hours per week (p = 0.025)). The high prevalence of fear of covid-19 and the associations observed point to the need for health education promotion actions aimed at professionals.
