Abstract:
We explored the psychometric properties of the Hebrew version of the Fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S) scale among health care workers in a large medical center in Israel. Participants (N = 705) completed the FCV-19S scale, as well as resilience, subjective well-being, and meaning in life using validated scales. Results showed a two-factor structural model accounting for 79.33% of the total variance. Both factors were negatively associated with resilience and satisfaction with life. Results suggest the FCV-19S has good psychometric properties among health care workers and may be used to assess the effects of the pandemic in this population.
