Table 3. Analysis of index differences according to demographic characteristics
Examining Table 3, it is seen that for the variables of years of work, marital status, having children, drinking alcohol, smoking, the presence of someone in a risk group in the household, and difficulty obtaining protective equipment, GAD-7, ISI, OSI and CSI were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Anxiety and insomnia were greater in females than in males, but their perception of team support was lower (p<0.05; Cohen’s d: 0.65, 0.49 and 0.36 respectively). In perception of organizational support, there was no significant difference (p>0.05). The anxiety of physicians was lower than that of other health workers, but their perception of organizational and team support was higher (p<0.05; Cohen’s d:0.25; 0.16 and 0.27 respectively). There was no statistically significant difference between the anxiety and perception of organizational support of FHC and contact tracing workers, but the insomnia levels of contract tracers were higher, and their perception of team support was lower (p<0.05; Cohen’s d:0.19 and 0.25 respectively). Perception of organizational support showed no significant difference according to the presence of a chronic illness (p>0.05). Anxiety and insomnia were higher in those who regularly used medication, but perception of organizational support was lower (p<0.05; Cohen’s d:0:63, 0.45 and 0.38 respectively). Perception of coworker support did not show a difference according to use of medication (p>0.05). At the same time, anxiety and insomnia were higher in those with a chronic illness and those using medication (p<0.05; Cohen’s d:0.077 and 0.053 respectively). Perception of team support was higher in those who had received training in protective equipment than in those who had not (p<0.05; Cohen’s d: 0.33), but their anxiety, insomnia and perception of organizational support were not significant (p>0.05). Anxiety and insomnia were highest in those who did not think they were protected, but their perception of organizational and team support was the lowest (p<0.05; Cohen’s d:0.082, 0.046, 0.091 and 0.042 respectively). Anxiety and insomnia were highest in those who thought their anxiety levels had risen compared with before COVID (p<0.05; Cohen’s d:0.200, 0.113 respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in the perception of organizational and coworker support (p>0.05).
