Abstract
Nursing staff are in direct contact with the consequences of the current c<i>oronavirus</i> disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. Descriptive questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey of a sample of nursing staff working across Saudi Arabia. The study included (<i>n</i> = 431) nursing professionals. Coronaphobia prevalence among the nursing staff was 80.3% [95% confidence interval (CI): 76.5-84%]. There were (36.7%) who had severe cornaphobia. Working in a clinical department and being Saudi national were associated with increased COVID-19 fear (estimate = 0.109, <i>P</i> = 0.0153 and <i>P</i> = 0.010, respectively). Hospital management in Saudi Arabia needs to acknowledge the high prevalence of coronaphobia during the current COVID-19 crisis among nursing staff.
