Abstract

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increase in feelings of fear and sadness. Following the administration of the COVID-19 immunization, which is anticipated to greatly lower the threat of health hazards, there is a possibility that the mental health of healthcare personnel may improve. The purpose of this study was to investigate the moderating effect that the acceptance of vaccinations by medical professionals had on the link between COVID-19 obsessions, emotional weariness, and dread of death. For the purpose of this investigation, a survey was administered to 280 members of the medical staff, which included physicians, nurses, and paramedical specialists. The methodology utilized was cross-sectional. 78 percent of the questionnaires were delivered to our office. During the time that data was being collected, each and every participant in the study had attained a vaccination. It has been discovered that COVID-19 fixation is connected to anxiety around the prospect of death. Despite the fact that there is a connection between COVID-19 fixation and death anxiety, this connection is moderated by the acceptance of vaccines. Our findings lead us to the conclusion that the COVID-19 obsessions and death fear experienced by medical staff members can be alleviated through the implementation of a vaccination.
