Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: Significant differences were found between two groups defined as HCWs-frontline and non-frontline, in the following characteristics: (P=0.013), gender (P<0.001), education (P<0.001), occupational status (P<.001), income (P=0.003), working-years experience (P<0.001), number hospital rooms assigned (P=0.024), number of persons living with (P=0.024), and smoking habits (P=0.018). The findings showed that the prevalence of depression anxiety and stress was significantly higher among the frontline workers when compared to non-frontline ones (all P?0.018). They also reported significantly higher scores of fear of COVID-19 for all items (P<0.001). The mean scores of burnout items were significantly higher among frontline-HCWs as well as all items regarding the COVID-19 (P<0.001). The multivariate stepwise regression analysis confirmed Predictors for depression were: feeling the burnout (physical / mental exhaustion), feeling emotionally exhausted from work, clammy hand, number of years of work experience, fear of family members catching infection, can’t sleep because the risk of getting cOViD-19. Meanwhile, hardworking, number of years at work, feeling depressed and burnout (physical / mental exhaustion) form current COVID-19 work, were all considered main risk factors for anxiety.
