Goal: The Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic is believed to increase the workload of health workers and the level of stress they are exposed to. The aim of this study is to study the level of anxiety, depression, difficulty regulating emotions and quality of sleep in health workers during the pandemic period. Method: This prospective study was invited to healthcare professionals through online tools and the participants were directed to Beck Anxiety Scale, Beck Depression Scale, Emotional Regulation Weakness Scale, and SCOPA Sleep Scale. Participants were evaluated by dividing into two groups in the form of actively working in the Covid-19 field (Group 1) and non-actively working in the Covid-19 field (Group 2). Results: 426 people with an average age of 35.5 ± 7.9 years were included in the study. 275 of them were in group 1. When all participants were studied, anxiety was 33.1 % (14 % of severe anxiety), depression 20.9 % (3,5 % of severe depression), day-to-day sleepiness 33.1 %, night insomnia 30.5 % and any sleep pathology 48.1 %. Anxiety and depression between the two groups were similar parameters. Night insomnia was more common in group 1 and other sleep-related pathologies were similar between the two groups. The scale of emotional adjustment was higher in the group 1 and the other sub-dimensions were similar between the two groups. The multi-variable regression analysis found that the active study in the Covid-19 field had a significant impact on the development of night insomnia only. Result: This study found that sleep pathologies were more common in health workers who worked actively in the Covid-19 area and that these groups had more difficulty in controlling their impulsive behavior while experiencing negative emotions.
