Results
A total of 223 voluntary participants were recruited. Of the
participants, 101 were female and 122 were male. HAM-A total score mean
was found 9.28 ± 8.717 and approximately half of the patients (51.6%)
had a score of higher than 6, which means clinical significance. Women
and single participants had higher anxiety levels compared with men and
married/partnership respectively. Age, educational level and fear of
COVID-19 when visiting the hospital were found to be related to HAM-A
levels. 41.7% of the patients had postponed the hospital admission
because of the pandemic and this was also significantly associated with
the anxiety levels.
