Abstract :The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on healthcare workers is increasing day by day. It should not be forgotten that health professionals working in risky groups will be psychologically affected much more. The aim of this cross-sectional study is determine the relationship between covid-19 phobia and secondary traumatic stress level in 112 emergency service personnel via a structural equation modelinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=416);.A 1-unit change that was occur in the total score of the trauma scale causes an increase of 0.68 units in the phobia scale total score insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(β=0.68;p<0.001);.In addition, it was determined that female personnel, those with a history of contact with a covid-19 positive colleague, and those who stated to be extremely worried about the possibility of a second wave, had a high level of phobia and STS levels. In addition to all risks, it should not be forgotten that 112 personnel exposed to psychologically affected in combating pandemic should be supported separately.
