The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Covid-19 anxiety and professional performance levels of medical staff working in emergency health care services in terms of different identifying variables. The work was included in the 112 Emergency Health Service Stations of the Servant. The example was not selected and it was attempted to reach the whole universe (n: 102). The analysis of the work data collected in the period July-August 2020 used visual statistics, t, ANOVA, correlation and regression analysis. The Covid-19 worker’s anxiety has been found to be low and their professional performance is high. As the period of professional experience increases (≥11 years) in women, Covid-19 anxiety has been found to be significantly higher (p<0,05). However, the professional performance levels of the participants who expressed their professional experience are less and they expressed their professional interests are higher. In addition, a relationship between Covid-19 anxiety levels and their professional performance has been found in a negative and medium level (r=-0,551). As a result, Covid-19 anxiety has been shown to have a 30% effect on the professional performance levels of health workers.

Özet:

This study was aimed at investigating the relationship between Covid-19 anxiety and professional performance levels of healthcare professionals working in emergency medical services in terms of different descriptive variables. The healthcare personnel working in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in Uşak, a province in western Turkey, were included in the study. No sampling method was implemented. It was tried to reach the whole population (n: 102). Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation and regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. The healthcare personnel were determined to have low levels of Covid-19 anxiety and high levels of professional performance. As the duration of professional experience increased (≥11 years), Covid-19 anxiety levels increased in the women participants significantly (p <0.05). However, the professional performance levels were higher in the participants who liked their profession and whose duration of professional experience level was short. There was a negative and moderate relationship between healthcare workers' Covid-19 anxiety levels and their professional performance levels (r = -0,551). Consequently, Covid-19 anxiety affected the professional performance levels of the participants by 30%.
