Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic gives massive negative impacts on human life, especially on the economic and health aspects. One COVID-19 variant, Omicron, makes the health situation more severe. Nurses who work at the forefront are prone to experiencing anxiety because of dealing patients with Omicron infections. This study aimed to identify factors associated with nurses’ anxiety about the Omicron cases. This study was conducted in the Bangli Regency of Bali, Indonesia. Using a snowball sampling technique, the respondents were selected to participate in this study. Data were collected using a Google Form questionnaire. Univariate, bivariate (Chi-square test), and multivariate anayses (multiple logistic regression) were performed to study the data. This study found that 25.7% of the respondents experienced anxiety about how to handle Omicron cases. Perception and completeness of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) were significantly associated with nurse anxiety. Nurses need to pay attention to their health safety in serving patients with COVID-19 infections.
