Mental health and conspirasism in health care professionals during the spring 2020 COVID-19 lockdown in Greece #MMPMID34886920

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to investigate mental health and conspiracy theory beliefs concerning COVID-19 among health care professionals (HCPs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: During lockdown, an online questionnaire gathered data from 507 HCPs (432 females aged 33.86 +/- 8.63 and 75 males aged 39.09 +/- 9.54). STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: A post-stratification method to transform the study sample was used; descriptive statistics were calculated. RESULTS: Anxiety and probable depression were increased 1.5-2-fold and were higher in females and nurses. Previous history of depression was the main risk factor. The rates of believing in conspiracy theories concerning the COVID-19 were alarming with the majority of individuals (especially females) following some theory to at least some extend. CONCLUSIONS: The current paper reports high rates of depression, distress and suicidal thoughts in the HCPs during the lockdown, with a high prevalence of beliefs in conspiracy theories. Female gender and previous history of depression acted as risk factors, while the belief in conspiracy theories might act as a protective factor. The results should be considered with caution due to the nature of the data (online survey on a self-selected but stratified sample).
