Abstract
Objective: Anxiety is one of the most common psychiatric disorders among the general population. We conducted a study to investigate the prevalence of coronavirus anxiety, risk and protective factors. Method: The method of the study is descriptive correlational. The statistical population of the study included students and staff of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman in the first half of 1399, from which 234 staff and 981 students were selected by available sampling method. Data were collected online using the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS). The Corona Anxiety Scale has been developed and validated in Iran by Alipour et al. (2017) to measure anxiety caused by the prevalence of Coronavirus. Simultaneous regression and hypothesis testing as well as difference and chi-square tests were used to analyze data. Findings: Findings indicate that the level of coronary anxiety in students is in a more favorable condition than staff. Regression analysis indicated the predictive role of protective and risk factors in coronary anxiety among students, whereas only risk factors could predict coronary anxiety among staff. Conclusion: The findings as a whole did not indicate a high level of anxiety among the study population, however, in the prevalence and pinpointing of factors associated with each level of anxiety, the role of risk and protective factors in the Coronavirus situation should not be underestimated
