Abstract: (724 Views) |
Introduction: Given the widespread impact of COVID-19 and its high death rate among healthcare workers.
Objective: this study aims to assess the relationship between coronavirus-related anxiety, death anxiety, and emotional intelligence in nurses.
Material and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study focused on nurses at government medical centers in Borujerd city in 2019, comprising a sample of 106 participants selected through simple random sampling. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the data, while correlation tests assessed the relationships among COVID-19 anxiety, death anxiety, and emotional intelligence. Linear regression was applied to evaluate the impact of demographic variables, death anxiety, and emotional intelligence on COVID-19 anxiety (P < 0.05).
Results: A significant positive correlation was found between the anxiety scores related to COVID-19 and death anxiety among nurses (P<0.001). Conversely, there was a significant negative correlation between the COVID-19 anxiety scores and the emotional intelligence scores of the nurses (P<0.001).Conclusion: Given the significant positive correlation between coronavirus anxiety and death anxiety in nurses, as well as the significant negative correlation between coronavirus anxiety and emotional intelligence, it is recommended to leverage emotional intelligence to mitigate anxiety
related to the coronavirus and subsequent death anxiety. |
