Design and Methods: This cross-sectional study is based on the COVID-19 pandemic situation. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was used to collect the study data. Findings: Nurses’ state anxiety levels were high (51.51 ± 9.94). Participants evaluated for state anxiety were female; who were married; worked in intensive care units; were service nurses, having more professional experiences; and experienced hand irritation (p < 0.05). Practice Implications: The mental health of nurses providing primary care to patients with COVID-19 should be evaluated in the long term.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAnxietyCOVID-19NurseState-Trait Anxiety InventoryArticle----10.1111/ppc.1266133103790Q1WOS:000583517400001Q2
