Abstract

Fear is a negative experience in health professionals given that exposure during the pandemic, high labor demand and emotional implications, have significant effects on their psychological well-being, therefore, the objective of the research is to determine the fear in health professionals working in a hospital institution of COVID-19. It is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and non-experimental study, with a population of 220 health professionals who answered a questionnaire of sociodemographic data and the scale of fear of COVID-19. In their results, 23% (n=51) of the professionals have a low fear of COVID-19, 37% (n=91) medium fear of COVID-19 and 40% (n=88) high fear of COVID-19. In conclusion, the constant exposure of health professionals to the risk of contagion, excessive workload and emotional pressure during the pandemic have generated high levels of fear.
