Abstract
We aimed to examine the relation between the fear of COVID-19 and depression, anxiety and burnout of intensive carenurses. This cross-sectional and descriptive research was conducted with 116 intensive care nurses. The data were obtained with a web-based questionnaire created with the “Descriptive Information Form”, “COVID-19 Fear Scale”, “Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale Short Form” and “Burnout Short Version”. A significant positive correlation was found between depression (r = 0.498, p < .001), anxiety (r = 0.633, p < .001), stress (r = 0.589, p < .001) and burnout (r = 0.299, p = .001) levels of intensive care nurses with a mean age of 30.18 ± 6.55 with the help of the “COVID-19 Fear Scale”. It was determined that the mental health of intensive care nurses was at risk and they reached the level of burnout.
