Abstract
During the Covid-19 health emergency, the self-assessment of psychological relapses in 24 health workers through a Covid-19 Emergency Triage Card sought to examine how doctors, health technicians, nurses and auxiliaries perceived their mental state immediately after the communication coronavirus positivity. A Covid-19 Emergency Triage Card consisting of two sections was submitted to the study sample. First section personal data: age, sex, educational qualification, seniority, marital status, offspring, job, workload in hours, presence of night shifts, lifestyle habits (use of alcohol, tobacco, coffee). Second section: self-assessment of the psychological repercussions of the pandemic event with five sub-dimensions: anxiety; psychosomatic disorder; depression; thought disorder. behavioral changes, rated on a three-level scale: mild - medium - severe. The analysis of our results shows that anxiety-depressive symptoms take on significant values in Covid-19 positive healthcare personnel, with greater predominance among nurses. This results in identifying workers most at risk of adverse mental health outcomes during times of health emergency is a public health task. Ensuring the physical and mental health of health care workers is crucial to maintaining a high level of health care in the population.
