Abstract
COVID-19 has a long incubation period, rapid spread, the high demand for treatment and lack of previous treatment experience have brought great psychological pressure to medical staff involved in epidemic prevention and control, which has seriously affected their mental health. Based on interviews with some medical staff in designated hospitals for COVID-19, this paper measured the mental health status of medical staff for epidemic prevention by designing a scale, The structural equation model was used to explore the influence mechanism of epidemic severity and mental health of medical workers on the prevention and control of COVID-19. The results showed that not only the severity of hospitalization had a direct effect on the psychological stress of medical workers, but also the perceived risk had a mediating effect between the severity of the epidemic and the mental health of medical workers.
