AB This study aimed to analyze the psychological affectation of health professionals (HPs) ofSpanish Emergency Medical Services (EMSs) according to the cumulative incidence (CI) of COVID19 cases in the regions in which they worked. A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed,including all HPs working in any EMS of the Spanish geography between 1 February 2021 and 30 April2021. Their level of stress, anxiety and depression (DASS-21) and the perception of self-efficacy (GSES) were the study’s main results. A 2-factor analysis of covariance was used to determine if the CIregions of COVID-19 cases determined the psychological impact on each of the studied variables. Atotal of 1710 HPs were included. A third presented psychological impairment classified as severe.The interaction of CI regions with the studied variables did not influence their levels of stress, anxiety,depression or self-efficacy. Women, younger HPs or those with less EMS work experience, emergencymedical technicians (EMT), workers who had to modify their working conditions or those who livedwith minors or dependents suffered a greater impact from the COVID-19 pandemic in certain regions.These HPs have shown high levels of stress, anxiety, depression and medium levels of self-efficacy,with similar data in the different geographical areas. Psychological support is essential to mitigatetheir suffering and teach them to react to adverse events.
