Abstract
The study's goal was to assess how worrying about contracting COVID-19 affected the participants' emotional well-being. During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, residents of the Rajshahi division were surveyed online about their demographic characteristics like gender, level of education, relationship status, occupation, family composition, neighborhood, frequency of socialization, health, and possible exposure to the virus. There were 641 participants in the cross-sectional research; 51.3% were female and 48.7% were male. Information was gathered using a personal information form, the FCV-19 scale, and the GHQ-12 scale. The t-test, the analysis of variance, and the Pearson's correlation were used to examine the data in SPSS. The mean scores of respondents' COVID-19 anxieties varied significantly by gender, marital status, going out during a COVID-19 circumstance, and socioeconomic position. This research indicated that worrying about contracting COVID-19 has a detrimental impact on participants' psychological well-being. Providers of health care must prioritize those most in need.
