Objective To understand the current status and influencing factors of health anxiety among healthcare workers,and to provide a theoretical basis for proposing relevant intervention measures at a later stage. Methods From March 2023 to July 2023,393 healthcare workers from three general hospitals in Huainan City were selected by convenience sampling method,surveyed with general information questionnaire,health anxiety scale,and state-trait anxiety scale,and the data were analyzed. Results The total score of state anxiety[M(P25,P75)] of the healthcare workers was 40.00(32.00,50.00)points,the total score of trait anxiety[M(P25,P75)] was 43.00(34.00,50.00)points,and the total score of health anxiety[M(P25,P75)] was 20.00(17.00,26.00)points. The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in health anxiety levels among healthcare workers of different age,education level,economic status,gender,family history of chronic diseases,and history of major diseases(H=-6.440,-7.129,-5.830,Z=9.255,60.507,64.787,all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that health anxiety was positively correlated with state anxiety and trait anxiety(r=0.545-0.554,all P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that gender,age,education level,economic status,trait anxiety,family history of chronic diseases,and history of major diseases were influential factors of health anxiety(β=-0.099,0.128,-0.149,0.145,-0.289,-0.119,0.309,all P<0.05),explaining 54.7% of the total variance. Conclusion Healthcare workers have a wide range of health anxiety problems,mainlyinfluenced byfactors such as gender,age,education level,economic level,family history of chronic diseases,and history of major diseases,and trait anxiety. These factors lead to threats to the physical and mental health of healthcare workers.Managers should pay attention to the health anxiety problem of healthcare workers,and take targeted measures to reduce the negative impact of health anxiety on healthcare workers.
