إدراك الخطر واستراتيجيات المقاومة لدى عمال الصحة أثناء جائحة كوفيد-19

Abstract EN

The current study aimed to investigate the risk perception and coping strategies among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

to achieve this goal, we administered a socio-demographic questionnaire along with a scale measuring risk perception, coping behaviors, and preventive knowledge against COVID-19 (José, R.

G-L et al., 2022) to a sample of (277) healthcare employees (doctors, nurses, administrators) who were purposively selected.

we adopted a mixed-methods approach in our study.

the results were as follows: 1- coping strategies obtained the highest mean score of 61.2481.

2- the study revealed a statistically significant correlation between the dimension of the scale, indicating the effectiveness of coping strategies in dealing with the pandemic, reducing infections, and adapting to the new situation.

overall, the results indicate a negative risk perception of COVID-19 among healthcare workers, with the predominant coping strategy being reality-focused coping for the majority of healthcare workers.
