Abstract
Objective: to assess mental health, the adoption of contagion prevention and the risk perception of hospital workers in São Paulo state, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: cross-sectional study including health workers from 15 state hospitals who responded to an online questionnaire. For the assessment of mental health, the General Health Questionnaire (QSG-12) was applied. QSG-12 generated a scale ranging from 0 to 12 (worst situation). Scores above the median values were considered indicative of psychological distress. A multivariate logistic regression identified factors associated with psychological distress. Results: The study included 627 workers, mostly female, aged 40-59 years, white; 45% of the sample scored above the median of GHQ-12, which was 6.3. A greater chance of psychological distress was identified among women; physicians; those who responded that the hospital did not provide good quality Individual Protection Equipment; those who felt they had little control over becoming infected; those who were afraid of not surviving the disease; those whose families were afraid of becoming infected through them. Conclusion: psychological distress in this sample was expressive, and it is possible to act on some associated factors to minimize the problem.
