چکیده مقاله :
Background: Rapid outbreak of the corona virus disease, constant contact with contaminated and high-risk environments, and increasing numbers of mortality from coronavirus have affected anxiety level, increasing the medical staff stress and anxiety that not only weaken the immune system and make them vulnerable to coronavirus disease but also it may prevent the treatment staff from fighting with coronavirus. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the effect of exercise, following the religious beliefs and listening to music on anxiety level due to treatment staff coronavirus .Methods: This quasi-experimental study is performed with pre-test and post-test with 6 experimental groups and a control group. The study’s population was all the hospitals’ treatment staff in the southern part of Iran (Fars, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari and Khuzestan provinces) that provided services to Corona virus patients. The sample size was 77 people who were randomly and purposefully selected.Results: The results of the dependent t-test showed that there is a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores in the exercise volunteers groups, following religious beliefs volunteers, listening to music volunteers and random exercise, which showed their effect on reducing Corona virus anxiety level in the treatment staff. There is no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the control group, the following religious random group and the listening to music random group.Conclusion: Exercise and physical activity due to the predominance of physical and physiological aspects, whether it is the desire of the treatment staff or not according to their desire, reduces anxiety level in the treatment staff. However, following religious beliefs and listening to music, due to the predominance of its spiritual and doctrinal dimension, reduces the anxiety level of the medical staff only when it is based on one's wishes and desires.
