Abstract

The purpose of this research was to detect the rate of anxiety, depression, stress, and factors related to anxiety, depression, and stress among medical staff at some field hospitals in Binh Duong. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 385 medical staff in some field hospitals in Binh Duong. The medical staff's mental health was evaluated using the DASS-21 scale. The percentage of healthcare workers suffering from anxiety was 71.1%, depression was 60.3%, and stress was 41%. Gender and age were found to be the factors associated with anxiety in health care workers by Pearson correlation analysis (p<0.05). A large proportion of medical staff members experience anxiety, depression, and stress. More specifically, 71.1% of healthcare professionals experience anxiety, 60.3% experience depression, and 41% experience stress. It is essential to have prompt support systems in place to lower stress, depression, and anxiety among medical staff engaged in COVID-19 epidemic prevention.
