Objective: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected all over the world in many areas such as health, economy, sociology, psychology, and education. Healthcare workers (HCWs), who are at the forefront in the fight against the pandemic, are adversely affected both physically and mentally. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between depression, anxiety and stress levels of HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Material and Method: In our study, which is a quantitative research, an online questionnaire was applied to collect data. An online survey was administered for data collection. Whether the average scores obtained in line with the answers given by the participants to the scale differed according to the demographic variables of the participants were analyzed.

Results: The depression, anxiety and stress levels of HCWs were found to be high. There were significant differences between the depression, anxiety and stress levels of HCWs and their demographic characteristics. The levels of depression, anxiety, and stress was higher in women than in males, higher in singles than in married individuals, more prevalent in younger individuals than in middle-aged and older ones, and more prevalent in high school and associate's degree holders than in master and doctorate holders. Nurses had higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress compared to physicians.

Conclusion: Our study results suggest that depression, anxiety and stress levels of HCWs are high.
