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).
