“…The fear of personal safety and well-being of colleagues and family are all constraining factors, which distress and influence staff working attitudes during pandemics [ 31 ]. Nurses with experience in nursing patients infected with COVID-19 and nurses working in COVID-19 divisions had shown to have low job-retention intentions due to their emotional concerns and fear of becoming infected [ 32 ]. Chafee also reported that certain factors, such as the type of disaster, concern for family, pets, and personal safety have an impact on the willingness of staff to work during disasters [ 10 ].…”

This study evaluates the perceptions of preparedness and willingness to work during disasters and public health emergencies among 213 healthcare workers at hospitals in the southern region of Saudi Arabia by using a quantitative survey (Fight or Flight). The results showed that participants’ willingness to work unconditionally during disasters and emergencies varied based on the type of condition: natural disasters (61.97%), seasonal influenza pandemic (52.58%), smallpox pandemic (47.89%), SARS/COVID-19 pandemic (43.56%), special flu pandemic (36.15%), mass shooting (37.56%), chemical incident and bombing threats (31.92%), biological events (28.17%), Ebola outbreaks (27.7%), and nuclear incident (24.88%). A lack of confidence and the absence of safety assurance for healthcare workers and their family members were the most important reasons cited. The co-variation between age and education versus risk and danger by Spearman’s rho confirmed a small negative correlation between education and danger at a 95% level of significance, meaning that educated healthcare workers have less fear to work under dangerous events. Although the causes of unsuccessful management of disasters and emergencies may vary, individuals’ characteristics, such as lack of confidence and emotional distractions because of uncertainty about the safety issues, may also play a significant role. Besides educational initiatives, other measures, which guarantee the safety of healthcare providers and their family members, should be established and implemented.

“…It can reduce the anxiety level of people (e.g., patients) in stressful life events [29] and is positively correlated with mental and physical health [30,31]. Studies have revealed that social support can reduce depression and anxiety [32] and affect people's psychological condition and alleviate anxiety, depression, and stress, contributing to post-disaster psychological recovery [21,33]. In order to improve public mental health in the context of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Chinese government has taken the following social support measures in terms of social support: (1) information support [34]-government and relevant departments are providing real-time disclosure of COVID-19-related knowledge and updates;…”

The recent coronavirus outbreak has captured worldwide attention. This study investigated the anxiety of the Chinese public and its relationship with social support during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby providing empirical support for interventions on improving the public’s mental health. On the basis of an online questionnaire survey conducted on 10–18 February 2020, this study shows that 19.8%, 68.5%, and 11.1% of the respondents suffered mild anxiety, moderate anxiety, and severe anxiety, respectively. Significant differences are reported in state anxiety between people with different household incomes. There are significant differences in trait anxiety and state anxiety between different social support groups. Social support and trait anxiety are negatively correlated. Social support and state anxiety are negatively correlated. Social support affects state anxiety both directly and indirectly (through the mediation of trait anxiety). Therefore, during the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing public support for society can effectively reduce public anxiety.
