ABSTRACT:
This research was conducted with the aim of predicting the relationship between the corona virus anxiety and psychological hardiness in employees working at Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Shiraz. The current research design was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of the research consisted of all the employees of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Shiraz in 2021. From among the statistical population, 220 individuals were selected and studied based on available sampling. To collect data, Kobasa’s psychological hardiness questionnaire (1976) and Alipour et al.’s coronavirus anxiety questionnaire (2019) were used. After collecting the data, the scores of the participants were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis and SPSS-24 statistical software. The results of Pearson’s correlation coefficient showed that there is a significant negative correlation between psychological hardiness and its components (challenge, commitment, and control) with the coronavirus anxiety; also, psychological hardiness with a beta coefficient of 0.20 could predict the coronavirus anxiety in hospital employees. Based on the results, plans can be made to enhance psychological hardiness through educational workshops to relieve the anxiety of the healthcare staff.
