Contexte : La pandémie de COVID-19 a changé les conditions de vie de nombreuses personnes. De nombreuses personnes se sont senties considérablement limitées. Cependant, pour les personnes qui sont à la fois parents et professionnels de santé, la situation semble plus préoccupante à d’autres égards. Objectifs : Sur cette base, nous avons planifié une étude évaluant les caractéristiques démographiques, les niveaux d’anxiété liés à COVID-19 et les niveaux de stress liés à la parentalité des professionnels de la santé qui travaillaient à l’hôpital universitaire. Nous avons également évalué les paramètres qui affectent l’anxiété liée au COVID-19 et le stress parental.
(1) Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the living conditions of many people. Many people felt significantly constrained. However, for individuals who are both parents and healthcare professionals, the situation seems more troubling in other ways. (2) Objectives: Based on this, we planned a study evaluating demographic characteristics, COVID-19-related anxiety levels, and parenting-related stress levels of the health care professionals who were working in the University Hospital. We also evaluated the parameters that affect COVID-19-related anxiety and parenting stress. (3) Methods: The level of COVID-19-related anxiety is assessed by the coronavirus anxiety scale. The parenting stress index-short form is used for evaluation of parenting stress. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS version 22. (4) Results: Female gender, working as a nurse, a history of COVID-19, and having a child attending daycare were parameters that increased the level of COVID-19-related anxiety. Occupation, being a parent of a schoolchild and/or primary school child, being a parent of a child receiving face-to-face education, and having more than two children were found to be risk factors for parenting stress. Clinically significant parenting stress was found to increase threefold in healthcare workers with more than two children (R2 = 0.101, p = 0.039). (5) Conclusions: Healthcare professionals, who are also parents, play a huge role both at home and in the hospital in the pandemic. Therefore, it is inevitable that their stress and anxiety levels increase. It is important to determine the factors that cause stress and anxiety and to take measures in this direction to get through this process well.
