Özet

Purpose The aim of the study was to determine the effects of workload on the styles of anger expression and "trait anger" of health professionals working in a COVID-19 pandemic hospital. Design and Methods This descriptive study was carried out at a COVID-19 pandemic hospital in Turkey. The sampling consisted of 493 healthcare professionals. The data were evaluated with the SPSS (23.0) software program. Findings The study found that the participants who perceived the workload as higher, and could not tolerate the work they performed, were high in "trait anger" levels and their anger was suppressed. Practice Implications Health institutions should consider the recognition of emotional risks and the planning of interventions as a priority for professionals involved in the care of COVID-19 infected patients.
