First sec tion personal data: age, sex, educational qualification, seniority, marital status, off spring, job, workload in hours, presence of night shifts, lifestyle habits (use of alcohol, tobacco, coffee). Second section: self-assessment of the psychological reper cussions of the pandemic event with five sub-dimensions: anxiety; psychosomatic dis order; depression; thought disorder. behavioral changes, rated on a three-level scale: mild - medium - severe. The analysis of our results shows that anxiety-depressive symptoms take on significant values in Covid-19 positive healthcare personnel, with greater predominance among nurses.
