Results There were significant differences in the overall status of depression, anxiety, and stress among front-line medical staff in terms of gender, education level, professional title status, children’s status, and working years (P<0.05); among the five dimensions of mental state, the fear and worry dimension scored the highest. The overall confidence dimension score was the lowest (P<0.05). According to Pearson correlation analysis, the overall confidence of front-line medical staff is related to the dimensions of fear and worry, hospital support, and psychological support (P<0.05); while fear and worry are mainly related to hospital support and psychological support (P<0.05).
