Resumo
[Abstract] Objectives: To validate the items of the Emotional Impact Questionnaire coronavirus disease-2019
(COVID-19) related to risk perception, estimating its degree, among healthcare workers in the
first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, identifying possible associated factors.
Methods: cross-sectional study in 1872 healthcare workers of Brazil. The population was characterized
by sociodemographic and occupational information, knowledge about COVID-19,
quality of information received, risk perception and preventive measures about the disease,
and sense of coherence.
Results: Being divorced, having a chronic disease, spending more than 1 h per day getting
informed about COVID-19, and always or almost always wearing a mask regardless of symptoms,
as well as self-perception of health were associated with high-risk perception. An inverse association
was found between risk perception, sense of coherence and not knowing if one has had
occasional contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases.
Conclusion: Risk perception is influenced by emotions, experiences, and knowledge. Sense of
coherence and resilience have a role in reducing risk perception. Understanding risk perception is
crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and
other similar scenarios.
