abstract="COVID-19 affects all aspects of social life, including mental health. Some authors reported an increased risk of suicides. <br><br>OBJECTIVE. To assess the psychological state including anxiety, depression, and mental burnout in medical staff who works with new COVID-19 infection. Material and methods. An anonymous research was conducted in Moscow COVID-19 departments in June 2020. The study included 470 respondents who work with COVID-19 infection including 323 physicians and 147 nurses. Physicians included 274 anesthesiologists and intensive care specialists and 49 doctors of other specialties. We have used the following scales: Beck Depression Inventory, Maslach Burnout Inventory scale (MBI) for physicians adapted by N.E. Vodopyanova (emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), reduction of professional achievements (PA)), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Beck Hopelessness Inventory for assessment of negative attitude to subjective future. Additional questions: subjective assessment of fatigue throughout a week, subjective assessment of efficiency, somatic complaints over the past month. R-Studio software (Version 1.0.153 2009-2017) was used for statistical analysis. <br><br>RESULTS. Depression was observed in 67.8% of physicians and 59.18% of nurses, negative attitude to subjective future -- in 67.8% of physicians and 37.41% of nurses. According to MBI data, high EE score was noted in 59.13% of physicians, DP score -- in 21.67%, PA score -- in 43.03% of doctors. High burnout scores in all three sub-scales were observed in 18.89% of physicians and 8.16% of nurses. <br><br>CONCLUSION. Analysis of psychological state and regular psychological testing are essential in COVID-19 departments. This step will be first one towards reducing the negative impact of depression, anxiety, burnout on mental health. © E.V. SINBUKHOVA, D.N. PROTSENKO.<p /><p>Language: ru</p>",
