Introduction: Covid-19, as an emerging disease, has caused high cases of infections and deaths worldwide, which has led to fear and stress in various population groups around the world. The fear of getting sick during the covid pandemic in nurses is associated with frequent consequences on people's mental health. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of the fear of contracting the disease (cronaphobia) and its related factors in the nurses of the Corona Center hospitals of Qazvin province during the covid-19 pandemic.
Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study. In this research, 356 nurses who met the criteria to enter the study and worked in Corona centers participated. The data collection tools in this study included two questionnaires of personal characteristics, demographics and a standard questionnaire of fear of contracting the coronavirus. After collecting information, the data was analyzed by considering the error of 0.05 and using SPSS software version 25.
Result: According to the results, 59% of the nurses had a high level of fear of contracting the corona disease (cronaphobia). There was a significant difference between the number of corona vaccine injections and the presence of a previous history of mental illness between the two groups of low fear of contracting the corona disease (cronaphobia) and high fear of contracting the corona disease (cronaphobia) (p-value<0.05). So that the number of people who had a previous history of mental illness, almost three times more than people who did not have a previous history of mental illness, had a great fear of contracting corona disease (cronaphobia).
Conclusions: The findings of the present study indicated the high fear of nurses working in the covid ward, and several factors were related to the fear of contracting the corona disease. Identifying factors related to the fear of coronavirus can be important in planning and promoting mental health programs for nurses.
