Abstract

Background: The coronavirus was first detected in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, which quickly spread worldwide and became one of the main health crises. With the spread of coronavirus, health personnel in all parts of the world were faced with a sudden change in care roles, which caused them anxiety. The purpose of this research was to investigate the anxiety caused by coronavirus and its relationship with the job performance of health personnel during the coronavirus pandemic. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted by cluster sampling method on 730 health personnel in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran, in 2021. The data were collected using Corona Disease Anxiety Scale (CDAS) and Paterson's job performance questionnaire. In order to check the correlation between anxiety score and job performance, the correlation coefficient and linear regression were used as well as multiple regression. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Findings: The mean and standard deviation (SD) of anxiety and job performance score was 11.44 ± 31.08 and 7.41 ± 54.33, respectively. As the anxiety score increased, the job performance of healthcare workers decreased significantly. However, it was not significant after controlling the confounder variables. Conclusion: Considering the negative impact of anxiety caused by coronavirus on the job performance of health personnel, it seems necessary to have an appropriate plan to reduce the anxiety of health personnel during the epidemic of infectious diseases in order to increase their job performance. © 2024, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences(IUMS).
